A mobility plan for northern Quito

Ecuadornews:

An infrastructure of the dimensions of the Financial Platform not only changes the image of the sector, but also the mobility. The Metro is the alternative to reduce the impact, but that will not happen, at least in the next two years, when its opening is scheduled.

The building where the activities of 13 institutions of the state financial sector will be concentrated will be opened on May 22. This was reported by Milton Maldonado, director of Inmobiliar (a government agency in charge of the project), during the weekly address of Saturday, May 13. The National Confederation of Popular Finances (Conafics) has been there since last week and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been working since today.

According to the City Hall, the mobility in the sector will be affected, therefore, a plan is being prepared. According to Dario Tapia, secretary of Mobility of the City Hall, a report speaks of promoting the use of the subway. “The construction of this platform had to be tied to the operation of the subway. But the completion of this work ends in two years,” said Tapia, who added that a momentary solution will be traffic control and the use of special buses for the officials who work in the sector.
