Sier Nei til milliongate - Telemarksavisa

Spending millions to limit traffic and make it even tighter about salvation for the firehjulte? No thanks, says Rolf Egil Johnsen.

– There is no problem that they like to shop in town come by car. Therefore, I think it is wrong to put more spending million in so-called side obstacle. The city center is dependent on the availability and accessibility, says Johnsen.

TA has written several articles on the issue, and recently it was in the newspaper confirmed that the alderman will give priority to spend four million dollars to create small parks that partially stick out in the main street. This is primarily to slow through traffic and reduce speed in Porsgrunn most urban areas. But it will also give the street a more attractive appearance. The case settled in the city council 3 April.

SIVE GATE

Porsgrunn my city has previously proposed a so-called ooze street, but Johnson stressed that it was not as talk about such initiatives.

– We believe it will keep putting up a sign that says that the maximum speed is 30 km / h. There must be much better spending, says Rolf Egil Johnsen.

He believes millions could be used for something more sensible – and fears narrowing will cause problems for the transport of goods and for those who want to park to make a trade.

– We will have the shortest possible path from the car to the store, So we are just screwed together – you and I, says Johnsen.

– I do not mean that it is about to do to get more traffic into the city, but those who have an errand here, need to find a parking space. They must feel welcome, says Johnsen believes Porsgrunn center not be less environmentally bit of traffic.

– emissions from modern fleet gets the reduced pace with technological developments, Also, I do not think there will be more exhaust that people driving downtown to shop refrigerator than if they run to Kjørbekk. Adds politicians are too many obstacles in the way of the city, only even more drive to a mall.

GREEN IS GOOD, BUT …

Johnson Electric, where PMBs chairman is at the helm of the daily, is among those who have chosen to invest in the city. Johnson himself believes it is appropriate with green elements, such municipality adds up to, but believes it is wrong to plant trees in the street.

– It should be reserved for car traffic.

TA could recently reported that there are almost no driving over the speed limit (50 km / h) in Rd. And over 95 percent stays away from 40 km / h.

– Where recognize myself. There is no problem with speeding in the street. Most people take it very quiet. Therefore it is wrong to use public funds to slow down so it is now being proposed, says Johnsen.
