What Did They Use In Ww1 To Treat Trench Foot

fleet of private vehicles in the city is not the right way this


Aunque en términos absolutos y también relativos la cantidad de pollutants emitted into the atmosphere a million cars circulating daily on the streets of Bogota is negligible compared to emissions of the 32,000 public transport vehicles (including the illegal supply of the city), the 465 articulated Transmilenio and 1000 feeder buses. That is why greater efforts to reduce pollution levels should be geared to the minority in this case to the public transport vehicles through the scrapping. Although I disagree with making city Bogota black market quota of private vehicles, if it is true that it is necessary to take measures to curb excessive fleet growth of our city, but this is not necessary to intervene in the economic chain associated with the vehicles (which would be quite damaging to the economy weakened and breached the country), but rather to establish business models for charging reasonable rates apply to the use of private cars for transportation. So every vehicle traveling must pay the costs associated with congestion (congestion charging), pollution (tax rates are increased for each year of operation of vehicles up to exaggerated values \u200b\u200binvolving the need to put old cars out of circulation ), use of roads and traffic and transport system of the city (taxes bearing consistent with the wear tracks suffer from excessive traffic of vehicles in accordance with their axes equivalent) to reinvest these resources in almost destroyed road network in Bogota . In addition to all vehicles must cargársele social costs associated with traffic. That is, if the county government is directing all its resources and efforts to public transport the most logical is that every citizen receives the economic benefits derived from using the Integrated Mass Transit and Public Transport as their regular transportation .

Mobility in Bogota IN





Now all the topics of discussion eventually become matters relating to mobility, specifically the Mobility Master Plan. Because as we all know about it has generated the greatest controversies of the present district administration, because this TransMilenio one hand, on the other the public transportation system, the state of the road network, public space, the bicycle path, freight transport, taxis, private transport and of course our newest mode of transport the rickshaw.

But all problems are going to one source, which make so much money that is required for the infrastructure that the mobility of the city of Bogota required, because the only thing that now has resources is Phase III of TransMilenio (Cra 7 th and 10 th and Calle 26), while the road network of the city continues to deteriorate to the point most critical, while the oversupply of public transport and individual continues to rise, while vehicles with more than 20 years of life of all kinds continue to ply our streets spewing into the environment each year an average of 10 tons of particulate pollutants , while the supply of transport miniaturized up to the use of media that until recently were those of small towns or municipalities as are the motorcycle taxi and rickshaw. All this without mentioning that no one has evaluated and quantified the impact of all this mess to which we must add the works of construction, repair, maintenance and who knows that most events that become daily traffic chaos throughout the city.

Well, then I will advance some of the measures that could be implemented for the Capital District may have more resources to the issue of mobility. At this point it should be noted that all this has already been invented in other cities in the world, so this is a bibliography.

· Road Pricing for Congestion Control: The cars are the vehicles 65.40% using the roads. By this figure is to establish a fee for driving on certain roads in the city at certain times in order to control congestion, thereby allowing their users to internalize the social costs arising from the use of private cars. Success Stories
road pricing have been in countries like Singapore, Norway, London and Santiago, Chile is in the process of development.
· Charge for parking in the procedure: The adoption of this measure has the great problem of insecurity, but in any case, all private car users assume the risk and leave their vehicles parked on road.
· Charge by Signage and traffic lights Service: The only contribution that citizens do to maintain and expand the traffic light system of the city is a small item that comes within the tax bearing vehicles, revenue for the Treasury. The STT should run more than 35 contracts per year regarding traffic light equivalent to more than 26,000 million.
· making and Goodwill: In this issue the administration did a great progress in recent days as the council approved the project which will get 2.1 billion dollars over the next 10 years. This however, creates the need for the management plan so coherent and rational investment of such resources in the short and medium term. Can not continue wasting resources on projects and works non-priority and essential to the population of Bogota, you can not afford to build "white elephants" as the road exchanger Calle 63 and Avenida bypass, connecting 80th Street The parking on the street 6, among many others.
· Charge to the Operators of Public Transportation System by the Use of Roads: The road network is a public service and a premium should therefore be considered charging for the use of it.

In conclusion is that the Administration should consider and study the following aspects:
· Awards for urban road construction
· Awards for the provision of public transport service in urban road operators
· Road charging for congestion control peaking
· Charge and restriction road parking in private
Inversion of construction and maintenance of underground parking, pedestrian areas to develop on the surface (you can develop commercial complexes in and around them)
· making and Goodwill by infrastructure
• Promotion of private participation in traffic light system of the city
· Improvement of public spaces with private participation (recreation, shopping, entertainment, etc.).

Finger Swollen From Snow

No Malla Vial in Bogota

does not seem fair that all resources allocated to road network in Bogota, are directed to cover only 6% (855 km / lane) corresponding to the transport subsystem (Transmilenio), while the remaining 94% (14,483 km / lane) road subsystem that is almost completely destroyed , you only need to take any route that is not operated by the stem and ready there's the cruel reality, miles of broken pavement, which generate a increase in accidents, insecurity, deteriorating vehicles and surrounding the few ways that are still kept in fair condition.
programs Urban Development Institute-IDU-District Maintenance and Traffic Reaction Brigade, focus on repair and maintenance of roads adjoining the Transmilenio and roads for feeder routes. While the local road network has conditions of total abandonment and destruction. The IDU has implemented programs to be the community who would finance rehabilitation works and maintenance of their roads that benefit through the recovery and obviously with the technical support of IDU, which incidentally leaves a lot to say after so many problems that arise daily about their projects.
far as this administration leading to a deterioration of the city that was begun one day, where in the name of reclaiming public space have invested countless resources and for which urban mobility is the cornerstone.
would be a compendium of volumes, the estimated economic loss, social, environmental and cultural deterioration of roads and the invasion of public space which it has thrived under the administration of Mayor Lucho, unable to recognize his own negligence shielded in which officials laid off left and right without contemplation, for everything that happens in their government.

Winning Pick 3 In Ohio

What happens to the Mayor Lucho??

can not be more reprehensible, if the fact that the Mayor Lucho, put into question the conduct of one of his closest officials, who in previous months as the best call of his cabinet, or the Secretary of Transit would receive money patronage purposes behind the Mayor. Either way this shows a lack of consistency in the district administration, which unfortunately has been reflected in developments in traffic and transportation for the city of Bogotá, we all have regrets. Would not be out of proportion to more criticism and complaints are made public, mainly related to the reorganization of public transport and scrapping public service vehicles and vehicles that were out of the way, either by abuse as a factor in quality improvement or reorganization route, while still rolling on the already saturated roads in the city.
But it did not stop there, the Mayor Lucho has made it clear that the issue ultimately is not loyalty, because neither friends or colleagues, or advisors, or followers are saved from destitution. Unfortunately the lack of consolidation of the Polo only harms the interests of citizens and generates cost overruns in the budget, the District, in addition to all the projects were truncated, modified and executed by the administration does not have caused. Although never know the true consequences of all this carousel of public servants if the view is the lack of consistency and continuity of our government, with the height of this council.

To mark the upcoming celebration of the XIII Latin American Congress of Public Transport and Urban-CLATPU-to be held in Lima between 3 and 7 October, it was evidence the authority of the Colombian regarding integrated mass transport systems. So such as former manager of the company TransMilenio SA and his team are now recognized international consulting projects with similar characteristics to the BRT. While the TransMilenio Cirt is not an idea gestated in Colombia, as it was the Brazilians in the city of Curitiba who developed this type of solution for mass transit of passengers were Colombians who were in charge of internationalizing the solution, maybe by trarse a city of nearly eight million people, perhaps due to the magnitude of investments in infrastructure and rolling stock or the political will of political leaders at the time.
To date there is no mass transit project I use bus lanes in which Colombian hand is not stuck with either technical assistance, resources or manpower (Santiago, Lima, Quito, Panama, Thailand, Africa, etc.). Anyway
was generated knowledge, skill and resources for both operators and managers of the company TransMilenio SA are an important part in the development of BRT projects in the world. This recognition is deserved for those pioneers ue bet you build the Bogotá we all want. Some of Bogota

Ground Venison With Pork

TransMilenio TransMilleno .... A perception or reality?? The climate change

According to studies the operation of the TransMilenio system by a Brazilian firm, no more vehicles are required to cover peak demand, by contrast, already in the system are on 5 article, you are making unnecessary miles.
is, the services are not well planned and that's something we can all see during the day, while in one sense the vehicles are about to explode on the other are almost empty. Same goes for the various sections of the tronacales, for example in the morning rush hour in the north-south, the high-occupancy vehicles are more or less up to 26 street but after traveling only with a few passengers. As an unsuspecting user and I can rarely decucir system at a glance that the services are overlapping (case 2 and 3), most routes stop at the stations have more traffic congestion quasar greater as is the case of the street 76, street 100 or even 85, the road infrastructure and equipment is not totally correct (the access doors to insufficient vehicles, many of the chairs could be removed, the problem is space) in the same way I wonder, should not be an optimization of the services?? (Could be in real time as the system has the most advanced GPS equipment), because the vehicles are doing kilometers lost?? Why not adapt the infrastructure for intermediate returns ue portals and connecting about 80 with Autonorte street??.
is abundantly clear that there are tools to look for a better operation of mass transit system with buses highlight of the Latin America and without investing additional resources to the citizens can travel in a more comfortable. Some of Bogota

Considering changes in the weather that the citizens are experiencing, which references the decades photographic records where the sweaters and raincoats were the prevailing fashion by noting that our city is "cold weather "We must accept that you are giving a cultural transformation of our city around new activities, styles and habits related to the changing state time.
First, it is always a matter of time complaining, it's very cold, does "very hot", "to shame", it rains, "it seems we were in Girardot, there is no scenario or situation that does not criticize (just as they do our fellow American, "the locals" as a national sport) "climate" of Bogota.
Secondly, as we get used to seeing people, especially girls, wearing clothes "Calentana" which includes sandals, color "tropical" and all "pop" potential, to become "the style" predominante que ofrecen las tiendas.
Por último están las actividades “outdoor”, que van desde el “sunroof” hasta la creciente oferta de terrazas (denominación para cualquier espacio abierto) de los restaurantes, bares, cafés, etc.
Será a causa del “cambio climático” debido al “calentamiento global” el causante de un nuevo modelo cultural de ciudad.
