Shirking of responsibility

I refer to the ADT's comments following the fatal accident in Triq President Anton Buttigieg, Zejtun. ADT confirmed that for three whole years, the Zejtun local council has been insisting on:

1. Traffic calming measures.

2. Pelican lights.

3. Official speed limit.

On all three issues the ADT's final response proved to be negative and to add insult to injury persistent in requesting technical details from the council. The ADT has forgotten that they command the expertise and have the facilities to provide all three measures which the council is still requesting.

Regarding the cycle lane proposal, as was clear in an e-mail communicated to the council a year ago by the ADT, nowhere is a redesign of the road space mentioned let alone proposed.

This is sheer speculation which the local council would be only too happy to have implemented. Forming a most perilous cycle lane and refreshing road markings is not redesign.

Even so, the Zejtun local council is willing to cooperate as always, to rectify and if possible eliminate the dangerous situation prevailing in Triq President Anton Buttigieg.
