A proposal for Piazza del Tiglio
Borgo Nuovo and Piazza del Tiglio are fictional places. A residents' group proposes a three-month Saturday-afternoon trial: part of the square would have no moving cars, with benches and planters. Learn who supports the trial, who has concerns, and what each person needs before giving an opinion.
- Il gruppo propone una prova di tre mesi.· The group proposes a three-month trial.
- La piazza sarebbe chiusa alle auto solo il sabato pomeriggio.· The square would be closed to cars only on Saturday afternoons.
- I commercianti chiedono spazio per le consegne.· Shop owners ask for space for deliveries.
- I residenti vogliono un percorso accessibile.· Residents want an accessible route.
From concern to compromise
A proposal can include a reason, a benefit, a risk, and a way to test it. Learn the phrases for a limited trial, a delivery window, an accessible route, and a review after three months. Do not present a proposed measure as an approved decision.
- Dato che servono le consegne, lasciamo libero l'accesso al mattino.· Because deliveries are needed, let us keep access open in the morning.
- Anche se la piazza è piccola, si può lasciare un passaggio ampio.· Although the square is small, a wide passage can be kept.
- La prova non è ancora stata approvata.· The trial has not yet been approved.
- Dopo tre mesi si valuteranno gli effetti.· The effects will be assessed after three months.
