The challenge of metropolitan traffic management of traffic

Finally, Mr. Chardalias did not fail to point out the challenges associated with the great works of the Athenian Riviera, mainly in relation to the traffic burden that is expected to occur when the two iconic parks, “Aenon” and “The Ellinikon” are completed. He described as an urgent need to adopt metropolitan management of the traffic issue, not only on the coastal front but throughout the basin.

“We, as a self -governing authority, are ready not only to assist but to fully assume the responsibility of resolving the problem, if assigned to us. We are here and we want to be useful to the citizens. Traffic, overall rubbish management and Attica’s shielding against climate change with the projects we are already implementing and launching are three axes that must work in parallel with all the major investments that are being made at this time and will evolve in the coming years.
