Money Maker For Poptropica

Yes, all arguments put

Miguel Bazdrech, http://impreso.milenio.com/node/8783295

Our authorities, perhaps because the effects of heat terse recent days, have aired several proposals to do "things" in the metropolitan area of \u200b\u200bGuadalajara. To defer or not to criticize the government for once and change the script, want to say "yes" to all. Maybe to see the resulting chaos, and compare it with the current. The recent idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding a second floor beside the railroad tracks of bizarre is fun.

And if you open the opportunity to make proposals bizarre, there are some very interesting. Able and take our government. For example, a "viaduct", Quota and second floor of course, going to the stadium Jalisco stadium Vergara, Chiva not, but read the minutes and civil registration. And by the way with a branch convenient to the stadium Teco or students, however it is the name. Thus, the most popular sports fans can go from one stage to another in minutes and in one day enjoy three versions of the game without suffering the horrible traffic jams. And entered into cost yourself a snap to go to the Minerva, for easy entry to celebrate the results.

Who two to one bet that this proposal be approved by acclamation and the popularity of the political class will rise at least ten points? Has an advantage: the rulers forget Archdeacon, Temacapulín and Zapotillo and save a trio of macro errors.

Two best: In the current mess in which they became Morelos near the park, for the failed Villa Panamericana, make a new football stadium. Yes it is if we accommodate: second floor, of course. It revives the "historical center", the old fans arrived on foot (non-motorized mobility) and also the wins will be held the "mere" center: Liberation Square, where everything fits without torment traffic and neighbors. Ah! One drawback: you have to redo the underground parking because so many people above may collapse. It can turn into an advantage: you can make four levels at once. And the second: not to leave the viaduct orphan Express, change the project. Let's do another rail line, and hence the way we installed and the city will look "good chida.

A city is planned for 50 or a hundred years and is built with patience and aesthetic rigor, legal and ethical. Are we aware?

Sayings: The Cheese To My Macaroni

Avenue

Roberto Arias de la Mora, http://impreso.milenio.com/node/8784596

Although just yesterday formally announced the project expressway call from last week we had people opportunity to learn of the state government plans to build a viaduct air on railroad rights of way, whose length is 23 kilometers and will have four lanes ( Public June 8).

The way in which the news was released, people had the wonderful opportunity to weigh the lightness prevailing among makers today make public decisions in Jalisco. First, we have the statements of innovation and development coordinator, Herbert Taylor, warning that the work be realized "the city would win atrocities" ( Public June 10). And that is to this official, the project has only benefits, for the neighbors because it will reduce the noise of the train in each of their crosses, to landscape architecture as "not a bad area and have a permanent fix," for those who choose to pay for road use because they can make that trip in less time, for other motorists who do not want to pay because avenues will be less congested and therefore, for all people in the city because there is less pollution caused by traffic congestion. Against these benefits does not matter that the calculation of the work, amounting to 6.500 billion pesos, more than other similar projects because "it will cost the company that wins the bidding." And what about the arguments of the opposition to PVEM deputy and chairman of the Committee on Transportation, Enrique Aubry, the viaduct is a work of first world ... that will help us to grow in the economic field, because it will to generate many jobs "as a deputy for the PRI and president of the Urban Development Commission, Marco Antonio Barba, "is a good alternative, considering the growth that has taken the city", while for the PRD deputy, Raul Vargas, the realization of this work could be used to make government intervention "in the areas under the bridge, which in some places could be promoted as linear parks, and even amusement parks ( Public June 9).

The problem with these arguments is that fast are serious public costs, and those estimated by Taylor himself Arthur at 550 million pesos, equivalent to the cost of the four overpasses to be "covered equally by the municipalities, state and federal governments and the company Ferromex ( Public June 10), or which shall be incurred by the" public assistance " referred to by the PRD deputy, nor the opportunity cost, as a society, we will incur for these 6.500 million dollars of private investment, which could be better used in modernizing public transport systems, much less the extremely high costs impose with the daily use of vehicle, no one pays, but all suffer through the growing loss of time or high levels of ozone.

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.
