On August 31, Minister Giovannini in Genoa: from Valpolcevera to Gronda, all matches are open
Genoa. The Minister of Infrastructure will return to Genoa on 31 August, in less than a week Enrico Giovannini. After visiting the occasion of the anniversary of the collapse of the Morandi bridge, the representative of the outgoing Draghi government will be in the prefecture in the morning to sign the memorandum of understanding for the growth of the areas affected by the Campasso freight line. But there are several matches still open in the city and once again the mayor Marco Bucci and the president Giovanni Toti they will push to close them.
The memorandum of understanding, already approved by the Municipality and the Region with their respective resolutions, is the one that establishes the criteria by which the 89 million allocated by Mims will be spent for demolish some buildings in Sampierdarena, Certosa and Rivarolo, creating parking lots and green spaces for the neighborhoods. Resources will be allocated to RFI (which is among the signatories of the agreement) but the implementing body will be Tursi Palace. In this way, the aim is to solve the critical issues related above all topollution acoustic which will cause the passage of 42 convoys a day among the houses on the way between the Third Pass and the docks of the port. We talked about it in detail here.
However, there are still many points to be clarified. “I am happy for the money that comes, but until the end I am cautious and I wait to understand how it will be used – comments the president of the Valpolcevera Municipality, Federico Romeo, who on August 31 will be at the table with Giovannini -. Those resources they must serve to redevelop the neighborhood, not just to cover the compensation. We have a series of proposals, from piazzale Facchini to the former Fillea in Rivarolo up to the redevelopment of Fegino. To date we do not have a painting. We are talking about many people and an important piece of the territory: we will move in any case to protect the residents ”.
Remaining in Valpolcevera there is the chapter of park of the bridge. If the Municipality has promised that the works for the memorial of the 43 victims of the Morandi collapsethe process to carry out the project has yet to start Red circle by architect Stefano Boeri. To do this you will need to remove 53 million left over from reconstruction and still frozen by the government (out of a total treasury of 88 million). Mayor Bucciafter meeting Giovannini he had on August 14, explained that the green light could have arrived between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. Further reassurance could come in this sense.
September will also be the decisive month for the assignment of the works of the first lot of the new breakwater of the port. There are two strings involved in the negotiated procedure: on the one hand WeBuild, Fincantieri, Fincosit and Sidra, on the other consortium Eteria, Acciona and Rcm. The auction base from the first tender, which went deserted, was 929 million (of which 500 financed with complementary funds to the NRP). In the end, to start the construction site – and in general, to ensure that the work does not stop halfway due to the wave of price increases – it could be necessary funds additional. And the ministry will be urged to do its part if needed.
The oldest question of all is of course the Eaves: despite the numerous announcements that it would be unlocked in a short time in the end Giovannini was unable to put the fateful signature on the project before the government crisis. “It is unlikely that the green light will come from this excerpt,” he said in July. The problem is that, since the work is not linked to the PNRR, it would not be part of “current affairs”. So the task would lie with the future government. But it is not certain that there will be no news on Wednesday.
