Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi said
Tuesday that AS Roma's much-delayed plan to build a swanky new
stadium in the south of the city can go ahead after a report by
experts on the project's effect on traffic in the area gave the
thumbs up.
"I asked for this opinion. It was not obligatory," said
Raggi, a member of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), after receiving
the report from Turin Polytechnic.
"The prosecutors office had said there were no problems with
the project, but I wanted to check that everything was all right
and the approvals were not just formal.
"This external report confirms this.
"The Roma stadium will happen. If they want, the proponents
will be able to open the work sites by the end of the year".
