Como mayor bans animals in historic centre after bike accident

Alessandro Rapinese announced a new prohibition affecting the historic city centre following an incident involving a cyclist last month. The official measure, issued by Rapinese in his capacity as the city’s governing authority, restricts certain types of traffic within the central historic district in an effort to address safety concerns highlighted by the recent encounter.

The decision comes as part of a broader initiative to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety in densely built urban areas. Authorities indicated that the prohibition will be enforced immediately, with signage to be installed throughout the affected zone, and that its impact will be monitored to determine any further adjustments needed to protect vulnerable road users.
