Roma Stadium, the Transparency Commission: “No to the pedestrian-bicycle bridge”

by

The project envisions the construction of a small bridge, accessible only by foot and bicycle, at the end of Via Livorno.

On the 7th and 18th of February, two sessions of the Transparency Commission of the II Municipality were held. According to the Chair of the Transparency Commission, the pedestrian-cyclist bridge of Via Livorno will not be built. The plan for Roma’s new stadium involves building, at the end of Livorno Street, a small bridge intended for pedestrian and bicycle use only, spanning the cluster of railway tracks and leading towards the North curve, roughly at the level of one of the car parks. Additionally, according to the reports from the committee “Yes to the park, yes to the hospital, no to the stadium”, the same spokesperson, during the hearing in the commission, also shared the observations made at the meetings in 2023, which forecasted an overload for the Tiburtina and Bologna stations.

The definitive go-ahead for the presentation of the project can only be granted after the completion of investigations.

In recent news regarding the Roma stadium in Pietralata, as reported by the journalist Alessio Di Francesco, the yellow-and-red club is ready to resume archaeological excavations in the area designated for the construction of the new facility. A critical step, as the completion of the investigation campaign prescribed by the Superintendency represents one of the necessary conditions for the delivery of the final project. Roma wants to proceed without a hitch, respecting the established timing, with the goal of obtaining all necessary approvals to move forward with the bureaucratic process and begin work as soon as possible.

Roma Stadium, the case of the Pietralata Forest that could block the entire project

by

In the 14 hectares earmarked for the construction of the new yellow-red facility, there is a lush and well-maintained green area.

After the impressive renderings of the facility and the lawsuits filed by the old residents of the cleared areas, another stumbling block in the Friedkin stadium project has emerged: a forest. Yes, because in the 14 hectares assigned for the construction of the new yellow-red facility, there is a lush and well-kept forest daily maintained by some residents. According to the council led by Mayor Gualtieri, there are no natural assets to preserve. However, some documents approved in 2012 by the Municipality of Rome – which proposed the construction of a “Pietralata Park” – reveal the existence of a “forest area” in the territory. This issue came up last April after the alerts from the committee “Yes to the park, yes to the hospital, no to the stadium”, and Sabina Alfonsi (Environmental Councilor) had already responded with the words: “according to our agronomists, it’s not a forest.” But in recent days, as evidenced by numerous videos, the issue has resurfaced, and even in the Rome technicians’ census, they recorded approximately 800 trees and shrubs.
