How Much Does It Cost To Buy A Topsy Turvy Cake

England: viaduct or path green?

José Javier Gómez Álvarez, millennium age: http://impreso.milenio.com/node/8784321
About
elevated viaduct project is planned to build along the England avenue is to consider the following:

1. England Avenue is a place that has great value for the city urban. The road is "forgotten" that borders the railroad tracks, and currently has discontinuity road blockades in several sections, and found that is underutilized. But it represents an important reserve in terms of urban public space and metropolitan mobility: an opportunity to implement public transport, to become a non-motorized greenway pedestrian and cyclist, and a linear park.

2. There are residential areas along this road to an elevated viaduct would impact visually and generate noise, so that priority would be affected by the car. Apparently not enough parallel tracks such as Lazaro Cardenas with his new suspension bridge, Avenida Vallarta with its road system and the recently renovated Revolution Avenue. Once again it is found that the race against the car is lost in advance.

3. Although raised as an "investment private ", the viaduct is situated on an area of \u200b\u200bpublicly owned (federal) concession since 1996 and for fifty years to a private company (Ferromex), so society has a right to be taken into account and assess their appropriateness. Otherwise there is a risk of becoming a private business on public property without the city to receive a fair return. In this regard will also clarify the role that government plays in the state and to corroborate the proposed financial terms of the scheme.

4. You have to consider the draft rail warrant that various state governments have been raised since 1996. If realized, could reclaim the space Track freight train to be resolved which would supply surrounding factories, which use the railway for industrial operation.

If they had studied before implementing mass transit in this way, what time changed the idea of \u200b\u200ba "second stage" vehicle? The current urban policies in the three branches of government raise the retention and recruitment in the central areas of the city and no dissection or rupture because of the car.

is not opposed to each project in automatic, but it is not sensible to use hastily and without careful thought one of the few reserves urban, perhaps the only one with these characteristics with which the city.

An avenue England turned into a "greenway" would attract a new sustainable development in the area, as has been the experience in other cities. Some of them have even recently lifted major road infrastructure in central areas or strategic redirect public use city (New York, Seoul and Boston). We must raise public projects and improving the quality of life, take precedence over the car and not otherwise. Preferably be in the medium term. It is urgent to think in a different city: more friendly, livable and competitive.
