After Mario, good news from Alberto:
This week Alberto spoke with a lot of people in Motril (Mayor, Transport Council, Urbanism council, Police chief) who told him that they will help him turn his 'crossroad from hell' (see picture) into a roundabout!
This is even more than what Alberto asked for because he originally thought of installing new road markings and traffic signals only. This goes to show that initiative pays off and that you can have unexpected success.
Alberto was given a lot of materials (maps, accident data) and he will now design and propose a roundabout solution for this croosroad. The people Alberto talked with told him that fixing this crossroad is a 'necessity' and that a roundabout is the best solution at one condition: that it comes with a fountain and the name of the village in capital letters in the middle of it! It seems that local politicians want to inaugurate something beautiful before elections time! This confirms our 'win-win' theory.
Alberto concludes that it is easier to get things done in small villages because it is simple to meet the authorities and get them to help you.
