Bari: "Bari by night" arrives, the extraordinary program for washing streets and pavements.
The initiative will be held from 18 July to 28 August.
“Bari by night” arrives, the extraordinary program for washing streets and pavements.
In agreement with the municipal administration , Local police, Amiu Puglia spa has defined the intervention calendar which provides for the adoption by the PL of an ordinance containing indications on parking bans for cars, in conjunction with the passage of vehicles, so as to have completely clear roads on which it will be easier to intervene.
In detail, for washing, two sweepers equipped with a "facilitator" will be used which will allow even more complicated points to be reached, a street cleaning machine and high pressure equipment for the specific cleaning of pavements and floors.
I washings will be carried out daily basis, during the night hours, from 23pm to 6am the following day.
“Like every summer, we ask all citizens for maximum collaboration to guarantee the effectiveness of the extraordinary cleaning activities that are affecting the streets and squares both in the center and in the more peripheral areas of the city - declares the Councilor for the Environment Pietro Petruzzelli -. In fact, only with the roads clear of vehicles will the Amiu teams be able to ensure thorough cleaning in these weeks in which, in addition to the large presence of people crossing the city, an extraordinary heat wave has been added. Furthermore, the work will be carried out by new machinery that uses three brushes, instead of two, capable of also cleaning pavements. With the 'Bari at night' program of interventions, therefore, we hope to give a concrete response to the many requests that come to us from many quarters for greater cleaning of streets, squares and pavements. The routes identified by Amiu respond to the need to sanitize the places most frequented by citizens and tourists; added to this are the shifts of teams of Amiu operators periodically engaged in squares and gardens which represent regular meeting places for many people".
“This year too, Amiu Puglia spa confirms its commitment with a service dedicated to night-time street cleaning, covering approximately 30 km of city roads and further implementing the number of roads involved – observes the president of Amiu Puglia Paolo Pate -. To provide more effective and high-performance interventions, in agreement with the Municipality of Bari and thanks to the ordinance issued by the Local Police, the streets gradually affected by the washing will be subjected to a parking ban: this will allow our vehicles and our operators a more great maneuverability and also the cleaning of pavements. Particularly in summer, the washing of streets and pavements is of priority importance to guarantee hygiene and cleanliness for citizens: for this reason we ask, once again, for compliance with the rules both for parking bans and for the disposal of waste and, in particular, bulky items which, if left illegally on the street, in addition to offending urban decorum and constituting an environmental problem, also become an obstacle to the thorough cleaning of our streets and pavements”.
