write from my office, all contaminated corner Medellín. And although my heritage country can make believe I'm exaggerating, I do not. In fact I rely on measurements from a station on the opposite building. The corner of Calle 80 Carrea 65 is a hell of noise, buses, traffic, dust, heat and pollution.
But things have improved a couple of years ago was a place impossible, not only by the traffic chaos but also by insecurity in the area. A modification to the direction of the tracks and the construction of a chain store helped to improve it. But still far from being an ideal place to work, study or just hang.
If there is a place to represent the problem of traffic and pollution courtesy of automobiles, is this. The pollution problem of mobility has been common in Medellin for some time. The municipality has taken steps to solve this problem, ranging from the scrapping of buses to the Pico y Placa questioned. Last year, we implemented the Pico Y Placa hoping to solve mobility problems in the city, and this year, with its lack of effectiveness, it was suggested that the measure was a full day. However, this decision was very unpopular, and the city had to change the Pico y Placa full day for twice a week at peak time. The excuse to slack sounded far.
In my opinion, the panel as Pico and now is an absurdity. The measurement of the whole day made sense for the simple fact that discourages the use of the car, and people are forced to move elsewhere. Pero un Pico y Placa dos veces por semana, sólo en horas pico, puede llegar a ser una s
olución de movilidad, pero nunca una solución ambiental. Personalmente, no la considero una solución de movilidad. La única diferencia es que la hora pico empieza 1 hora antes cortesía de toda la gente que sale corriendo para que no los vayan a partir. Se corre el taco, pero el taco es el mismo. Y la gente sigue sacando su carro… todos los días. Nada cambia, y mientras tanto, Medellín se ahoga en más vehículos que la gente compra con un número distinto para poder salir en carro diario. Y no hay vías ni espacio para hacerlas, parece un punto muerto.
Jorge Salazar, un arquitecto that was my teacher in a class that explored the relationship between society and the use of energy, said there were several approaches to solve the problems of supply of resources in a given society. If a company can be considered a dynamic system of inputs and outputs, in a very simple way he was talking about hardware and software social . In a city, for example, are hardware and software are public works municipal policies. Hardware is changing the landscape, software educate society. A problem can be solved with one of these things, or both.
The case with the mobility of Medellín is that since there is hardly room for more hardware, and has a serious deficiency software. In the days of the discussion of the peak and plate all day, I had several conversations with my brother. And though he has a vision similar to my own city, was totally against the bill and plate all day. Neither
shit, first put a decent public transport
's right. Medellin, although every day is shaping up more like a metropolis, is still a large town in many ways, including public transport. Although metrocable is wonderful, the subway and integrated routes work well, and promises MetroPlus far the most important in the mobility of a city Colombia are and will remain the buses.
Medellín has a software giant problem in this regard. Although there are plenty of bus routes and the fleet is so old, its approach roads damaged input mobility. One need not be an expert in traffic engineering to notice, or a genius to propose a better solution.
In practical terms, to get anywhere in Medellin, one has to take 2 buses. There are over 150 routes, but I know more than 5 to cross the city. In Medellin is the conception of " the neighborhood center, and the neighborhood center ." And using similar routes, by the same main street. At first he spoke of my office, almost all buses that pass go downtown, and I think that over 70% use the same route. As you can imagine, this makes the center is closed due to the number of buses, and then ride a bus makes the trip takes longer, and that people take laziness, and loach pay 2 buses, rather I'm in car, and then grows the block, and people buy more cars and use less bus. And unless mass transit, less mobile and more pollution. And so ad Infernum .
Meanwhile, people complain because there are restrictions on passengers standing on a small cross-town routes. The hotel is Route a walk of pot (seriously one can know at a bus Medellín those) but is the best transportation alternative. And always, always full. At the time it is. And while many of the buses to downtown, are almost empty.
A change of software is not complicated, and the secretariat plans to change traffic routes from the previous administration, but this has not been done. You have to expect that the union of the transporters of buses is not easy, and stop them is a complete failure of Medellin. But software is best for everyone, and much more for them in the long term. But you need to take a strong decision by the city, and be able to keep the pulse. In Bogotá, he could, the common interest prevails over the particular. So we all win and avoiding harmful things as absurd as the second floor road, I know that there is no need for a Pico y Placa uncomfortable, we can move efficiently by Medellin and we have a little more clean air in this valley as closed. And also, we save a huge amount of money to invest in other more important things, but we see as less urgent.
