Municipality admits inability to resolve traffic crisis

Bucharest City Hall admits it cannot solve the traffic problems, on the one hand because it is not prepared for it at an institutional level, and on the other hand, because setting up new parking areas and multiple level crossings is an “illusory” solution to the current situation, Adrian Bold, chief architect with the Bucharest Municipality, told ZF. “We can see that the municipality, as it is currently organised, is not prepared, even at an institutional level, to deal with the traffic crisis, by formulating complex or multidisciplinary policies,” says the Capital’s chief architect. The municipality has so far only announced that bus lanes would be demarcated on most large boulevards, in the spring of next year, and that it would build several thousands of parking spots,” says the Capital’s chief architect.
