The Citizen Mobility Observatory is waiting for the start of discussions about the new Mobility Law in the LXI local assembly. This proposal, once debated and approved, must ensure the availability of data for the population, promote a mobility approach with a gender perspective, and implement actions to limit speed in areas near schools and hospitals.
Sergio Olvera de León, spokesperson for the observatory, has highlighted that the proposal for the law has arisen from an open code, which instills confidence that it encompasses the essential aspects for updating local legislation and adapting the processes of state agencies. However, he emphasizes the importance of having the document analyzed by experts in the field and by society in general, in order to enrich it with diverse perspectives.
Among the main demands raised is the guarantee of access to crucial data for citizens, such as information about vehicles circulating in the city, their environmental impact, and compliance with verification requirements. Access to the traffic accident map is also requested to develop strategies that improve mobility in the state.
A point of special concern is Article 43, which addresses access to education in communities distant from the city in the General Mobility Law. There is an emphasis on reviewing mechanisms to guarantee the right to education for primary school children, preventing them from walking long distances, and clarification is sought on how these proposals will be reflected in the new law.
A paradigm shift in speed regulation on roadways is anticipated, including the need to modify environments around schools and hospitals. It is highlighted that the general law already prohibits non-pedestrian bridges, suggesting the importance of considering these aspects in places like Paseo 5 de Febrero.
