From the mayor’s office they insisted that they see the MTOP project with “good eyes”, but with some changes.
The transportation office cannelloni stressed the importance of the new fast train project that connects Ciudad Vieja, in Montevideoand El Pinar, in cannelloni– and that it will cost the government 500 million dollars – It must dialogue with the other means of transport, although they admitted that they see the initiative with “good eyes”.
The director of Transport of Canelones, Marcelo Metediera, admitted that the government project of 500 million dollars of investment is of interest to the department led by Yamandu Orsi. However, he took the opportunity to recriminate that they have not yet called the Transportation office to discuss how the project continues.
“We understand it as reasonable. We didn’t really like the way not having summoned us yet to exchange, but the initiative as such is acceptable, the idea is to be able to help and work on it, and the concern that we are effectively talking about a comprehensive mobility project”, said Metediera.
On the other hand, he stressed the importance of the new train having to dialogue with the rest of the Metropolitan Transportation System. “A train that does not dialogue with the STM would be unreasonable. Is necessary as long as it interacts with the rest of the system”, specified the person in charge of Canarian transport and added that it is true that the commune has had problems with the efficiency of transfers in the metropolitan area.
