Medina is a candidate to the Chamber? Only says “at the end of the year” – Daily News – Lisbon

Current President stressed that there is still one year to the elections and wants to focus on the challenges that lie ahead

Fernando Medina says that the decision on a bid for the presidency of the City of Lisbon will be made “in due time”. But the question should be clarified “by the end of the year.” Speaking on the TSF Forum, the mayor also stressed that “there is still one year” for the elections and wants to focus on the “challenges” that lie ahead.

The price of public transport, bike paths and parking are three of the plans that Medina wants to accomplish. The mayor wants as many tickets as passes have lower prices. “I consider it important that, particularly for older people and young people, the price can be reduced,” he told TSF. He added that there will be news by the end of June on the project to transfer the Board to transport management can be completed later this year.

The mayor also established that there will be a parking network near some important points of transport, such as “next to the metro station of Pontinha” Lumiar and Santa Clara.

as for bike paths, Fernando Medina said that the project that is being examined is seen as a “the most ambitious, but also the most important” of his term. Whereas currently the “bike is much more than a means of leisure,” the network of cycle paths should therefore cover the entire city, with the respective signage and information for those who choose this transportation know that you can go to any point the capital.

Fernando Medina took office as Mayor of Lisbon a year ago, succeeding António Costa, who has chosen to focus on the PS leadership, at a time when preparing the legislative elections.
