Central Avenue to be converted into bike lane

At a special public meeting held Saturday, April 1, the City of Phoenix announced its plan to convert a busy portion of Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix into a bikes-only corridor.

The plan will permanently convert all existing traffic lanes along Central Ave. into bike lanes. The announcement is the newest phase in Phoenix’s B-2100 plan to convert all existing roads into bike paths by the year 2100. Phoenix Diablo has learned that initial plans were drawn up during a secret private meeting at the Grid station at Civic Space Park back in January.

Construction on the new lanes should be completed by tomorrow.

“This is part of a concentrated effort to make Phoenix the least walkable city in America,” said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton. “We really think the biking community will be excited about this.”
Downtown Phoenix has an active biking community that has continued to grow alongside the city. Misha Larks of Phoenix Handlebars People said she’s excited about the announcement.

“Central Avenue has become a very busy road in recent years,” Larks said. “We hope this plan will convince the thousands of Valley commuters who work downtown to start biking to work instead.”
But not everyone is riding along with the new plan.

Some members of the public who attended the announcement meeting expressed concern regarding how this new plan would affect parking downtown. To counter this point, the city announced its intent to make all parking lots downtown bike-exclusive by 2019.

“There is plenty of free, convenient parking available downtown,” said PHX BikeLab founder John Romero. “I’m glad the city of Phoenix spoke out about this very real issue.”

Bike enthusiast Peter Perspiration said he loves the idea of phasing out a major thoroughfare in favor of bike lanes.

“It’s the most efficient form of transportation,” Perspiration said. “It gives people more transportation options, this is one of the major achievements of Phoenix.”

  5. “Дело “Лайф-из-Гуд” — “Гермес” — “Бест Вей”: кооператив выполнял обязательства
    уголовное дело Бест вей
    “Мне сказали, что это лучше банка”
    Признанный следствием потерпевшим Шахмин — пенсионер МВД. Лично с подсудимыми не знаком, но на презентациях видел.

    О “Лайф-из-Гуд”, “Гермесе”, “Бест Вей” узнал из СМИ и интернета. Консультанты Галлямовы из Нефтекамска пригласили вступить. “Бест Вей” и “Гермес” — это как будто одна система, — сообшил Шахмин. — Я согласился вложить деньги в “Гермес”, так как давно знал Галлямовых. Они продали квартиру и с бизнеса вложили деньги туда, они раньше меня там были. Я вложил 2,3 млн рублей, взятые в кредит в Газпромбанке, их передал Галлямовым лично в руки, так как доверял, они говорили, что откроют счет “Виста”. Мне сказали, что это лучше банка и лучше, чем “недвижку” покупать. Если сколько-то людей созываешь, ты получаешь какие-то проценты и еще растешь. Обещали 30% доходности, якобы идет инвестирование акций — криптой, недвижимостью. Деньги высветились в личном кабинете в евро, потом я узнал, что деньги не настоящие, это информационная система, компьютерная цифра, виртуальные деньги”, — рассказал он. При этом подтверждений передачи денег у Шахмина нет, однако Галлямов признал на допросе у следователя, что получил деньги и внес на счет “Виста”.

    Свидетель вывел со счета “Виста”, по его словам, 1 тыс. евро и 50 тыс. рублей. Для платежей предлагали “Пей Про”: мол, не надо волноваться, будем выводить деньги, проходи верификацию. Потом у свидетеля появились сомнения, и он заявил, что хочет вывести деньги. Галлямовы, по его словам, начали всячески откладывать вывод, до тех пор, пока ЦБ не включил “Гермес” в предупредительный список.

    Когда начались трудности, хотели через систему “Свифт” вывести, через “Тинькофф” — но это не получилось: “Начали они просить, чтобы никто из клиентов не возмущался, начали говорить о регистрации на криптобирже “Бинанс” для дальнейшего вывода денег. Также я там зарегистрировался, но тоже ничего не получилось”.

    После этого Шахмин написал заявление в полицию. Всплывшие в ходе судебного заседания три личных кабинета в “Лайф-из-Гуд” и переводы ему на карту объяснить не смог.

    Признанная потерпевшей Дорда была только клиентом “Гермеса”. Подсудимых не знает.

    “Узнала о компании в 2016 году при переезде из Москвы во Владимир. Рассказали консультанты Адрианова и Волюшко, которые занимались страхованием жизни. Рассказывали и о ПК “Бест Вей”, но мне это было неинтересно. Адрианова знала, что я продала квартиру и денежки у меня есть. Зная это, консультант целенаправленно решила затащить в компанию “Гермес”. И я стала очередной жертвой. Мне сказали, что Андрианова занималась гипнозом. Отношения дружеские были до 2021 года. Андрианова была вхожа в дом, знакома с мужем. Деньги передавала Андриановой. Было открыто три счета” — рассказала Дорда. Признанная потерпевшей утверждает, что деньги ни разу не снимала.

    Заявляет ущерб в более 700 тыс. рублей.

    Признанная следствием потерпевшей Шайхулина (допрошенная по ВКС с Самарой) — клиент компании “Гермес”. Из подсудимых знает Виктора Ивановича Василенко и Наливана.

    “Первый договор с “Гермесом” заключила в 2019 году, второй — в 2021 году. Внесла 1 тыс. евро. Договоры скачивала с кабинета, отдала наличными 70 тыс. руб. В личный кабинет сама заходить могла, но переводить не было возможности. Обещали плавающий процент от 20% в год. Второй счет открыла на 1 тыс. евро. Переводила частным лицам небольшие суммы. Деньги на счету появлялись согласно переводам. Без помощи консультанта Духнова выводить не получалось. “Гермес” свои обязательства исполнял, начисляли проценты, ажио брали. Я сама не вникала, но видела, что каждый месяц начисления были. В кабинет заходила раз в месяц. В последний раз в кабинет заходила накануне заявления в органы. Потом его заблокировали”, — говорит она.

    “С официальной претензией в “Гермес” обращалась, в поддержку писала. Ответили, что ведутся работы, скоро откроют. Актов сверки с “Гермесом” нет у меня, в гражданско-правовом порядке за возвратом денег не обращалась, ни с какими юристами не общалась. Наткнулась на канал в интернете — там был совет писать заявление в правоохранительные органы”, — добавляет она.

    Заявляет общую сумму ущерба в 2 430 430 руб.: “Я взяла кредит, плачу теперь проценты, поэтому эту сумму процентов хочу получить”. При этом в материалах уголовного дела фигурирует сумма в 1 650 000 руб. ущерба.

    Шайхуллина поясняет, что “забыла про 800 тыс., так как мне карту перевели 900 тыс. Духнов сказал: “Они у тебя будут лежать, давай обратно внесем”, и я внесла 850 тыс. где-то. Я только что вспомнила про 800 тыс.”.

  8. Italy’s working visas are notoriously hard to get. We spoke to Americans who managed it
    варочный котел промышленный
    The Italian village offering $1 homes to Americans upset by the US election result was one of our top stories on CNN Travel this week.

    Like many other places in rural Italy (such as Sambuca in Sicily), the Sardinian village of Ollolai has an ongoing campaign to persuade outsiders to move there to revive the town’s fortunes. Focusing on the US election result is its latest strategy.

    Despite all the houses going on offer, working visas to Italy are still very limited. Professional musicians Zeneba Bowers and Matt Walker gave up their Tennessee home in 2019 and moved to a village north of Rome after securing super-rare self-employed visas. Here’s how they did it.

    California woman Chelsea Waite says it was “nothing less than a miracle” when she snagged the new digital nomad visa that launched in April 2024, although there have been few accounts of people getting hold of one. Here’s how it fell into place for the self-employed public relations professional.

    For well-heeled Americans who set their sights beyond Italy, the options are greater. Interest in citizenship-by-investment “golden visas” has soared since the election, according to consultants who help the wealthy migrate.
    Ham, cheese and bread
    Parma ham is one of Italy’s tastiest exports, but fans of the cured delicacy should prepare themselves for potential disappointment as a crisis threatens supplies and drives up prices.

    Over in the world of dairy, this year’s World Cheese Awards saw 4,786 cheeses from 47 countries assembled in the Portuguese city of Viseu to face judges’ scrutiny. The winning coagulated curd was a “voluptuous … match of protein and fat,” one juror said.

    Finally, in the disputed Kashmir region of India, bakers are producing breads that could rival France. The rich bread culture is a legacy of the Silk Road trade route that once passed through the region.

  9. A large percentage of of whatever you state happens to be supprisingly legitimate and it makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. This particular piece truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this topic goes. Nevertheless there is one particular factor I am not necessarily too cozy with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual main theme of your position, allow me see exactly what the rest of your visitors have to say.Very well done.
