The other side of the tunnel

Interview of the Editorial Board Veramente.org Alberto Sperotto. Let's clarify a few things that are systematically trying to confuse Bugiardello.

- How much does the tunnel now?

The latest draft of the Convention, adopted by the council on January 13, speaks of 436milioni. The feasibility study of the town of Verona was about 280 and Technital, ATI has won the tender for the choice of promoter, indicated about 290.

Before the election, race, after an inspection of the tunnel of Mori, said the tunnel would cost less than 52 million made available by Serenissima.

- who anticipates the necessary capital and how you plan to raise the funds?

The tunnel will be built in project financing, then the funding will be borne by the concessionaire, which will recover its investment through toll revenues with the additional work and compensation works: 150 000 square meters for parking exchanger Saval (1300 places), a guest house, parking for 130 trucks in Verona north auditorium with an adjoining hotel and truck stop, fast food, roadside restaurants, gas stations ... Lately
we are talking about a contribution of 52 million A4 and about 30 dell'A22, nothing for sure.

- Who will pay the costs of that tunnel and in what way?

The tunnel will be paid by the citizens who use the tunnel and the various works of compensation. Who will leave the car in the parking lot and will pay one euro Saval hour (whereas a parking-lot should be free to promote the use and any revenues should be used to fund alternative transport to the car and not the tunnel) , who will use the foresteria e  le altre opere di compensazione (parliamo di una foresteria per i parenti dei degenti dell’ ospedale all’interno di un parcheggio scambiatore il cui ricavo finanzierà il traforo).

   -   Chi ha determinato i flussi di traffico sul traforo e sono pubblici questi dati?

Ad oggi gli unici dati ufficiali son quelli del promotore … come chiedere a un salumiere se il suo prosciutto è buono. Il Comune, comunque, ha commissionato a Sisplan nel luglio 2009 il nuovo piano generale del traffico urbano (PGTU) che dovrebbe essere stato consegnato – come da contratto –  nel febbraio 2010. Il piano dovrebbe anche giustificare il traforo e spiegare quali archi saranno decongestionati e quali peggioreranno, come varierà il tempo e velocità medie di spostamento per i cittadini di Verona. Dovrebbe spiegare se la congestione di Veronetta è data da traffico di attraversamento o interquartierale. Corsi continua a dire che i dati son confortanti, ma continua a tenere lo studio secretato.

La cosa probabile è che la congestione aumenterà a dismisura nelle arterie adiacenti ai caselli: via Fincato da una parte e  ponte del Saval, via Cristoforo Colombo e Corso Milano dall’ altra. L’incrocio di Corso Milano con via C. Colombo sarà drammaticamente congestionato.

Se il documento non è ancora pubblico vien da pensare che contenga informazioni che non è opportuno far conoscere prima dell’approvazione della variante urbanistica sul traforo.
E’ comunque molto curioso che la decisione di fare il traforo sia venuta molto prima di conoscere i risultati dello studio sui flussi del traffico.

   -     Cosa succederà  nel caso queste previsioni siano sbagliate per difetto?

In questo caso risulterà evidente a tutti che il passante nord non serve per decongestionare Veronetta but to connect two motorway exits: Verona Verona north east.

- The draft agreement provides the City safe from the unexpected?

Not at all: all the risks, contingencies, shall be borne by the local government; archaeological, geological problems, changes in interest rates, problems in financial markets, and more that the condition is not expected for re-discussion of the financial plan (which is secret), with an extension of the concession (now 48 years old), the toll increase and new compensation areas to build new hotels, parking lots, fast food restaurants, motorway ... Virtually all the urban planning of the northern part of Verona will be conditioned by the need for unnecessary work to the city.

The commissioner argued Thursday that the draft convention will be redone, but to date the only approved and signed by the junta to include these clauses Technital cord that was unconvinced by either the lawyer appointed to express Cancrini an opinion.

- What now remains uncovered unexpected and can result in bigger di spesa?

Tutti quelli indicati dalla bozza. La soprintendenza ha indicato la zona “ad alto rischio archeologico”, i mercati finanziari sono traballanti, i tassi di interesse son già aumentati, le piogge ci hanno già allagato le cantine e i campi di Avesa … Quindi è certo che i 436 milioni son destinati ad aumentare …

  -    La vendita di automobili è in calo da due anni e anche gli introiti delle autostrade (al netto degli aumenti). In che maniera questo  scenario influirà sui piani economici del traforo?

The financial plan is based partly on tolls. So if the traffic flows will decline (because there will be fewer cars or because the administration will decide to invest in public transport) the financial plan will be discussed.

- What is your opinion on the transparency of administrative acts relating to the tunnel and the extent to which citizenship is actually informed about the 'process of those administrative steps?

Obtaining information is an detective. Only in July a large part of the documentation of the preliminary draft was made available for citizens who wished to submit comments to the urban variant. Profits a few weeks in summer, without the ability to access the financial part of the project. Are still secreted PGTU and PEF ... and it should be noted that the words "financial plan" are present 17 times out of 18 pages of the draft Convention. How can a city council decide if he has access to documents?

Transparency is a different thing: organizing meetings and exhibitions where the project is presented, involving people in the choice of working with groups, and why not, a referendum which is opposed at all costs ... using the best lawyers in the square. But if you are so convinced that all they want to Verona, why all this fear and to show the cards to hold a referendum?
