A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.
Nonantola-Navicello cycle path: passing bays
A Cycling Friends proposal for a safer cycle path
About this process
The Nonantola Cycling Friends Association is promoting a public consultation on the new cycle path connecting Nonantola to the Navicello bridge.
The recently opened cycle path is an important step forward for sustainable mobility in the area. However, its current width does not allow two cargo bikes to pass each other in opposite directions — an increasingly common vehicle among families, tradespeople and delivery services.
The association proposes building passing bays every 300 metres: short widenings of the path allowing riders travelling in opposite directions to cross safely, without dismounting or veering onto the verge.
This consultation is open to everyone: you can support the proposal, submit alternative solutions and join the debate.
