Paco looks immobility "I better would like to fly"
Lebrija
Francisco "Paco" walking on the street from the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, went to "moles" as defined in Vallarta the recreational activity of walking and walking with a lost look on the horizon that ends up where the sea ends, wherever it appears that the world ends. Paco
stunned includes the rite of flying (of Papantla) which symbolizes the dance of the birds that fly through the sky of the port. 33 degrees in the thermometer. If you stop with the view to the sea, to Paco, to birds, Vallarta is like a room full of freedom and mobility, mobility in the air and the ocean, the wind blows but slowly, the "gringos" hear the wind noise generated by flying that little by little faint "Oh my god. Look at this, is awesome, I love this guys, "says Donita blonde and her husband of fifty.
But something stops suddenly the lightness and calm and singing.
-Biiiiiipppppp
-Rrrruuuuun, rrruuuuun, biiipppp
- Aváaaaanzale! Paco
sets down load the bags, and now provides total ingratitude to the scene. The driver who leads one of trucks from the road going CONALEP, the Centre, Blue Water, Fire Station, turn up, desperate to turn up the horn-playing as an individual who seems entrenched between the defense, the boardwalk, pedestrians and the sea.
Scene Dante already has the ingredient that gives the lack of mobility in less than 20 meters, a number of tourists who wish to cross a street to measure no more than 10 meters in width, 1.5 million People make the floating population of Puerto Vallarta and now it's Wednesday cruise, uff, go there foreigners in the city.
The expression of 9 year old says it all. Then turns, you feel observed and deals: "What father do not? And look, here, they can not get through, what you see? Maybe I wanted to fly. " Despite
how comforting it is "Malecon" in Vallarta, paralysis and transport in unflattering terms for users and residents of the city, represent the dark side of mobility. A red balance road safety states that the fifth leading cause of death in this heavenly resort, is related to traffic accidents.
A long corridor as the municipal government headed by Salvador Gonzalez Resendiz, has taken the decision to pedestrian, it seems the first stage of the conviction that could, as Leticia says Cavezzuti Vallarta, getting people back to walk with a taste for "the people." What could happen, he says, if instead of so many trucks and private cars of cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy more and more of what it offers a historic downtown of a city that competes in tourism to destinations like Cancun and Acapulco.
Street cars and bikes
The evidence does not lie, at the height of the school November 20 dozens of children are terrified after several hours inside the compound, renowned knowledge. The sidewalk that is home to fan her and play is not very wide, it will be a meter, just in case, however, the colored children are protected by the chassis of a car and tires, which occupies at least four times the space of a child.
In Morelos Street, corner of Abasolo, there are three lanes of space. All are occupied by motor vehicles. The center is occupied by those who go up and the two shores of the parked cars. 16 cars, a motorcycle, is the balance of the occupants of public space between Aldama and Corona.
Forward walking is much faster, despite the ultra lane bordered with pedestrians, that is 1 meter sidewalk, or you spend or pass me, "she said a woman who carries her baby in stroller. Yet one comes before walking. The mini
junction between Morelos and the boardwalk, it gets good, as in the Pirinola "everybody loses", the expected route and despairs, blow your horn, take anger, unarmed passengers with mobility has them paralyzed, the pedestrian is the raffle, including the car, the road, baby in arms, backpack, "correlations," well, the owner of a car known to be late, oootra time, yells at on-route "move", no, no way, if that is what they complain.
Puerto Vallarta is a city of 250 000 inhabitants. Its standard motor vehicle amounts to 69 000 vehicles. Which means that each person brings .26 vehicles per year. So, instead of cake under his arm, children bring a quarter of a motor vehicle.
can learn to fly, walk through the city
The flute of the dance of the birds have stopped ringing, and there is only the urban noise of the city which requires the reflection, and the simplest is made paco: "Here they can not get through, what you see? Maybe I would like to fly, like birds, would be. The good thing is still room to recover, and centers for pedestrianise citizenize Vallarta.
