On more than one occasion in the short life of this blog have highlighted the effort expended by the inhabitants of the Jewish Quarter and the authorities responsible for conservation respect thereof by traditional architectural fees. It is true that they have been careful 
even small details like the wardrobe to hide external accountants to houses or fire hoses, carefully made of wood and topped with flavored old hardware. It is therefore even more surprising and horrifying modern means of locomotion found parked on their streets. The cars, with their bright colors, ugly greatly Jewry, tarnish its beautiful architecture. But also involve another set of problems that are not solely aesthetic nature. For starters, these buildings should be protected from direct contamination caused by cars and motorbikes. But also the use of
mechanical means of transportation in this part of town becomes a nuisance that makes absolutely no life or provide comfort. Since the streets are very narrow, circular by them is extremely complex: it rarely involves maneuvering almost impossible to park and wait until traffic clears requires infinite patience. A couple of cars are enough to cause a considerable cap. Imagine what happens when a commercial van (often large) is determined to move about (which happens constantly). In short, it takes much longer to get where you want to go by car than on foot. This means that traffic in the Jewish Quarter and pollutes not only detracts a historic area, but that does not really makes life easier for its inhabitants. Quite the contrary. In fact, it is not uncommon to hear how some of them complain of precisely this.
Therefore, although I suppose that my proposal will not be welcomed by the inhabitants of the ghetto who own vehicles and wish to have them parked at your home, I think
far more logical to close the Jewish Quarter to traffic . In fact, even car owners would improve the quality of life if they could not pass through the neighborhood with their cars, and would avoid waste precious time and would not risk his serenity.
Local police often appeal to the wisdom of the citizens and calls on visitors who are sympathetic to the problems that traffic can result in the old town. I would say that we must not resign ourselves to ask for understanding. We must prevent these problems occurring.
To this end, it is desirable that the competent authorities decide to close
traffic the Jewish Quarter. However, measures like this are very popular in the short term (for residents appreciate their benefits requires a bit of time or a clear vision on their part), and therefore it is expected that very few governments have the courage to undertake them. In any case, is taken as such or not, I think even more important is to educate the neighbors that there are things that should not be done, even if not explicitly forbidden. Should not be made simply because they damage something that belongs to the community, and the community we all are.
therefore appeal to the residents of the Jewish Quarter to be the ones who become involved in a citizens' initiative, to be the ones who set an example of good sense and responsibility.
I think we should remember that more and more European cities who decide to close the traffic
historical helmets to protect them and keep better. Such measures are taken even in areas far wider than the Jewish Quarter of Herve, which can go well in full to walk without effort. In fact, I recall that old cars do not come down to the ghetto. Those who already have a certain age will recall that fifty years ago, even down to their dealers avoided vans that used to be parked in The Square. The products were distributed simply by shopping carts with merchandise. Further proof that our proposal is not crazy at all.
