"He had been informed that a bus had touched it, but we found that hundreds of cubic meters of earth, which descended that slope, were crossing the street and were using the Cedae tube to push the bike path to the sea, "he said. the mayor.
For the head of the municipal executive power, if there was no Cedae pipe, the ground could have "pbaded under the bike path". Crivella still recalled the tests of the town hall indicating the liberation of the road. The mayor was there on January 25 to carry out an inspection. At the time, Crivella had stated that "there would be no problem if the road was cleared".
"Today, we are on the bike path to perform a load test, it was super-leaning, has 5-meter pegs here that will support in case of thrust.We can guarantee that there will be no problem at all, people will be able to use everything safely, "said the mayor at the end of January.
Already in the afternoon of Thursday (7), after another fall, the mayor repeated his justifications and declared that the was prepared for a slip of the slope of the Niemeyer Avenue.
"It was calculated for a load of multitude, vertical, from top to bottom.It happens that a wave has shifted it up and down without there being any calculation. Then it broke, fell in. A brand new study was done on the case of waves, so the precaution was taken in relation to the sea. Curiously, the tragedy came from the mountain, from the When the tree fell to the ground and the bike lane was not ready, it was a lateral, horizontal force that moved it from the top of the pillar and collapsed, so it's amazing how these unexpected tragedies are happening. in a new study, we will have to take into account the points where the depth of the ground is shallow and where there may be trees with a risk of falling ", explained Crivella.
It was not the first time. On January 31, after the inspection by the public authorities, the MP-RJ had already asked the court that the Tim Maia bike path remained closed.
Near the place where a stretch of the bike path fell, a directional bus from Viação Jabor, connecting the Center to Campo Grande, was buried.
