It was a meeting of mayors this week when Boston Mayor Marty Walsh hosted a visit from Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino. The two talked about transportation and congestion issues common for the two touristy cities across the pond from each other.
An advocate of urban bicycling, Marino spoke at a downtown lecture, titled “Traffic Advisory, From Rome to the North End” where he discussed the challenges of transforming dense and old infrastructure into eco-friendly transportation routes to alleviate rush hour traffic jams.
At City Hall, Mayor Walsh presented Mayor Marino a map of the Rome’s public transit system (photo above, courtesy of the Mayor’s Office). See more about the Rome transit map by Cyrus Dahmubed.
Did our Mayor think to ask Rome’s Mayor Marino (or any other Mayor) about their trash problems before making a MAJOR DECISION for the North End?
JANET YOU ARE SO RIGHT. MAYOR WALSH IS EVADING ALL MAJOR ISSUES THE SAME WAY.
MAYOR MENINO DID. THEY CAME UP WITH ALL LAME EXCUSES NOT TO CHANGE THE.
TRASH HOURS. THE CITY IS NOT FOR THE RESIDENTS, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH OTHER.
ORGANIZATIONS. ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON IS AGAINST OUR HUMAN RIGHTS.
TRASH, INDECENT EXPOSURE, SENIOR CITIZENS, ALONG WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING.
TO BRING THEIR KIDS UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ARE BEING SUBJECTED TO LATE NITE.
DRUNKS WAKING THEM UP, URINATING, AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF.
THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. ABSENTEE SLUMLORDS/LANDLORDS ARE NOT.
BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TENANTS, AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR FAR.
TOO MANY YEARS. THEY DO “NOT” WANT TO TAKE THE TIME OUT SCREEN AND THE CITY.
SHOULD TAKE LESSONS FROM PROVIDENCE, R.I. ON HOW TO HANDLE THESE WILD.
PARTIES. THIS IS AN ELDERLY ABUSE MATTER, AND THE CITY COULD CARELESS,
THEY HAVE PROVED THIS OVER & OVER AGAIN.
It’s a completely redone map of Rome’s transit systems, not Boston’s. You guys haven’t heard the buzz? Link here: http://www.iqubeddesign.com/all-trains-lead-to-rome/.
