REORDENAMIENTO VIAL E IMPACTO AMBIENTAL DEL TRANSPORTE EN LA CIUDAD DE HEREDIA
Abstract
Este artículo aborda la problemática del reordenamiento vial en la ciudad de Heredia, Costa Rica, se parte de que la temática debe ser analizada dentro del contexto de la Gran Área Metropolitana.
Se toman en cuenta aspectos como el volumen de tráfico en las calles y avenidas de la ciudad, las principales rutas de autobuses, las paradas y terminales, la ubicación de parqueos públicos y privados y la modalidad municipal de parqueos con boleta. Ante la imposibilidad de hacer ensanches en la ciudad, los pocos proyectos viales como la radial a Heredia, la construcción de un puente elevado en la Valencia y la utilización de la vía férrea con un tren moderno que una las cuatro ciudades más importantes del país, son las pocas alternativas que son posibles de realizar a corto y mediano plazo.
Ante esa realidad es necesario optimizar las vías de la ciudad, mediante un reordenamiento vial. Se estima que de los problemas de tráfico que tienen las ciudades un 50% obedece a la falta de medidas de reordenamiento.
La utilización de indicadores de contaminación del aire y de contaminación sónica se usan como parámetros, como elementos que contribuyan al reordenamiento vial y no como un fin en sí mismo.
