Bologna will have to be June, its new mayor and new council.
Our hope is that those who will be called by the majority of Bologna to govern it, do it with a true spirit of service and for the good of the city.
But most do it in a revolutionary way: that governments normally, working to transform the city without all the partisan fighting or revenge or even personal. Well that makes "only and simply " the Mayor !
And who will be sitting on opposition benches, we expect a constructive contribution in this regard we would not mind knowing that the choices will mayoral candidate which will not be elected: will make every effort, however, even from the benches of the minority or do not attend as the City Council? The past is full of examples of elected Councillors or that a few months later flew to Rome: our city needs more than of people who never commit themselves here and do not use the city for other purposes!
From our side there is a strong desire to work in Bologna and we've identified seven pillars that lie at the heart and on which we mean for the future of our city.
And on these issues, of course, measure and judge the various candidates.
1) Who is leading the city must be responsible
a mayor and a council of capable and competent. The Executive Committee shall be composed of people trained in sector that will lead. Better if young people (and maybe women) and not belonging to lobby political parties. Better yet, if disclosed before the election. Even to guide portfolio companies must be independent and capable professional appointments, and not selected by the user Cencelli. The key issue is that the Mayor, Board and each Local Authority and work on a project: the revitalization of Bologna.
2) A basic principle: respect for the rules
A modern city is also distinguished by the rules, but also because these are complied with. To do so requires that the rules are few and clear, as clear messages supported by their observance. All citizens are called to do their duty and those who do not must pay the consequences. All those who rise to the bus must have a ticket: massive campaign of verification on the bus for at least the first year, also using the "rest of the supervisors," to check tickets. About dirty or smears should be fined. Pursued begging annoying. Involvement of shops and clubs against the noises night: who will provide its local audio and external cameras linked to police Hall will get extensions of time (the camera will be used as a means of verifying compliance with the peace). Employment in the field of fighters with the necessary technological equipment (cameras and handheld PCs, batons and spray stinging). Strong campaign of "civic education" to make aware the people of Bologna that the decor and cleanliness also passes by the control that every citizen can and should do. Interventions in the schools of the Mayor, with fixed appointments that will tell the kids that need them "take care" of the city
3) Safe in a safe city
Maximum attention to security, increased surveillance and also integrating the different systems existing on private land. Adopt mechanisms to facilitate reporting of degradation by the citizens including the development of the WiFi network (eg sending SMS, MMS and / or mail in real time is an address unique to the City for all reports). Incentives for blocks that are committed to maintaining clean their walls through agreements with the companies responsible. Reactivation of the table of safety "as a basis for cooperation with all law enforcement agencies. Relaunch of experience of "civic workers, develop and use. The cleanliness and decorum prosecuted as a method for preventing deterioration.
4) A mobility move with the times
Mobility town must change aiming at discouraging the use of private cars through the sharp improvement in the quality of public transport even above the ATC monopoly. The Civis will only Via Irnerio terminus station - Piazza XX Settembre. Should find an area where create a multi-parking on the east side ring (eg Military Road area Dante), also grows ex-Staveco parking. The network of parks will have the possibility to identify the vacancies through the network (web and sms). Will be connected to the four reference points of the fourth ring road to the city center (station-VIII Agosto, RivaReno, ex-Staveco and new parking lot east), which will also become reference points for public transport to access the peripheral center: and the shuttle bus will link ecological. The people-mover as it is conceived is a dinosaur: the technology must be simplified by using a lighter (eg Minimetro'-Perugia) extending the network from the Airport via Ospedale Maggiore to get to the station and from there to the Fair and parking Michelino. Gradual restriction until you reach the pedestrian area of \u200b\u200bVia Rizzoli - Two Towers: this will be the natural link between Piazza Maggiore and Piazza Verdi (will pass a bus between Via Castiglione - reversed direction - and Strada Maggiore). Expansion and improvement of bicycle lanes with special care to the periphery. Revision of permits to the historic center of the institution points per month for access to the second category
5) social services, family and school to think of a solid future
Social services must be services available to citizens of Bologna: reforming should also changing the access mode, returning in Town Hall and the neighborhood. The families must be valued as it should have value the number of years of residence in the city. Aid to families who take care of keeping their elderly at home. Encourage the family stay for children under one year of age with financial benefits. Encouragement for the creation of the "nest-to-home" and "nests business ". Create and care dedicated to children's play areas and "nursering" in the center with the help of private sponsors. Support the principle of "free choice school" by the families with "good service" or "voucher".
6) The development of the territory part by excellence: first of all the University
Bologna must point to again be a point of excellence in Italy and Europe. To do so must give value for excellence that distinguish it: all the universities. For this reason, must be strengthened role of the University, reserving a place as a "permanent guest" in the City Council to the Rector of the University. It should be filled out and powers the "City of Bologna University Consortium", which today lies in a deep coma. From these close relationships to be born a continuous interchange to increase throughout the city
7) The city and its historic center, culture and the revival of tourism
Strong attention to the Culture as a "breeding ground" Bologna and to enhance its lively vibrant network of cultural associations. Creating 3 / 4 regular appointments during the year used as a promotion of the city outwards. Building, along with the Chamber of Commerce, Public Associations, the Office of Promotion of the City of Bologna to go abroad to promote the city and to organize the on-line. Working in "the city of Bologna arcades" as UNESCO world heritage site. Strong enhancement of the historic center with the creation of a single administrative district that defines it (not like today, which is divided into 4 sections toghether in outlying areas). Promoting World Heritage Film Library of Bologna and Bologna which recovery of the draft ideal movie set (Film Commission). Sala Borsa is a jewel that has become a tourist destination inevitable, as the "Manufacturing of the Arts", so far pole of great potential not expressed.
