Florence, chaos at the station: two hours to get out of the underground car park
“Almost two hours to get out of the underground parking of the central station” in Florence yesterday, Sunday 30 October. This is what was made known on Facebook by the municipal government of Fratelli d’Italia Alessandro Draghi who explained that he had received, “photos and reports of the many motorists, rightly irritated, who tonight took” hours to get out. “I will ask the company Firenze Parcheggi – wrote Draghi on the spot – to find out exactly what prevented the outgoing age of the users. It is not allowed that, in an underground paid car park, traffic is paralyzed and situations of possible risk “.
Indeed it went like this. For some Florentines it was a nightmare Sunday, hours trapped in the parking lot of the station. Apparently for the blocked bar of a broken level crossing. But Firenze Parcheggi doesn’t fit in: “There was a bar that didn’t work and two others worked. The fault was the traffic, the alternating one-way street in front of the shelter”. A real chaos, that of the station with the traffic light under the shelter that creates a stop to traffic. The fact is that it was a Sunday of hellish traffic. The temporary councilor for traffic Giorgetti on Wednesday 2 November has a meeting with Grandi Stazioni where he intends to ask to remove the traffic light of the station under the collapsed shelter. Where we have been working since July 2019.
