by admin

The protests of residents and the committee convince the Municipality to modify the project of the new Piazza Martiri di Belfiore

TREVISO. Saving the trees, adding over a thousand squares of green, redesigning the road system. These are the contents of the 300 thousand euro variant approved by the Conte council for the redevelopment works of Piazza Martiri di Belfiore and the surrounding streets, financed by the Periferie tender. A 5.3 million construction site that started three months ago and should be completed in December.

The variant puts on paper what has been anticipated in recent months, after the popular uprising born against a project that involved cutting down 240 trees, and their partial replanting. So instead there will remain 235 out of 260, even if the numbers do not seem to exactly match, 28 would be those already cut. In addition, the planting of 94 new species has been planned, the hedges have increased from 336 to 498 meters.

«The green areas have increased by 1,121 square meters» underlines the councilor for public works Sandro Zampese, «The improvements made to the project have allowed not only to save the existing green but also to increase it. This project was made possible thanks to the collaboration with environmental associations, in particular Sos Belfiore and the Albero Urlanti Committee with whom we shared the design and with which the confrontation has not ended ».

In fact, once the satisfaction for the saved trees has been established, other requests made by Sos Belfiore to safeguard more greenery are still pending, such as the construction of the cycle path only on one side of the square and not on two.

Among the other changes included in the variant: the new via Radaelli, with one-way street for cars, cycle path and parking not among the trees but alongside the row; in via 55esimo Regimento, which is narrower, the cycle path will be built in the space between the trees and the fences of the condominiums, using a “biostrasse” surface near the trees that does not damage the roots, the road between the square and the Edera bar will become two-way traffic, and the only access and exit route will be via Feruglio.

“Saving the green was one of our priorities and, thanks to the commitment of the offices in concert with the technicians and Alto Trevigiano Servizi for the installation of the sewers, it was possible to protect the tree heritage, also finding spaces to plant new plants” , specifies the mayor Mario Conte. “The redevelopment of Santa Maria del Rovere will change the face of the entire neighborhood”.

To date, the laying of the white and black water lines and the aqueduct has been completed in Via Radaelli and in Via Gasparinetti, while the black water connections are nearing completion. Only the relocation of the Enel line was completed in via 55 Regiment and that of Telecom in via Meneghetti. The laying of the aqueduct line was completed in via Belloni, via Ricci and via Feruglio.
