Friends of the Earth Malta, Moviment Graffitti and Rota strongly condemn the recent proposal to build a pedestrian bridge as part of the Msida Creek project. The NGOs noted that similar proposals to build pedestrian bridges as part of the original plans for the project in 2020 had been shot down for a multitude of reasons.
Friends of the Earth Malta, Rota, and Moviment Graffitti welcome the draft National Transport Masterplan for 2030. While the plan contains a number of positive proposals, including an acknowledgement of various problems resulting from Malta’s car-dependent transport model, the masterplan largely fails to adequately address this model and the resulting mobility injustices. We welcome the acknowledgment of the importance of active travel and public transport, and the inclusion of measures such as the provision of active travel facilities, the promotion of walking and cycling to schools, and the greater consideration of bus lanes along key (and congestion-prone) routes.
