| This last process will allow the opening of Avenida de Cant n, which connects the urban area with the western zone, favoring the expansion of the municipality and mobility | The Local Government Board, meeting under the presidency of Mayor Ana Bel n Castej n, has approved this morning, December 11, compliance with the agreement signed on July 27, 1989 between Cartagena Parque and the City Council of Cartagena for the implementation of the Rambla Plan. “This means that we are closing a process that began more than thirty years ago and that will allow the opening of a new connection route between the urban center and the western part of the municipality.
Undoubtedly, this will favor both mobility in the municipality and its expansion, which has been held back for three decades, ”explained the mayor, Ana Bel n Castej n. Cartagena Parque has met the four necessary conditions for the agreement to be considered fulfilled. First, it has built a new four-lane avenue, two in each direction, connecting Soldado Rosique street, from the Cartagonova bridge, with Sebasti n Fering n avenue, at the height of the Sports Palace. In addition, a 25,000-square-meter parking lot for public use was built with a capacity for approximately 1,000 vehicles, which is located on the grounds of the Rambla park, whose conservation should be at the expense of the company for 10 years, although he has finally been in charge of it for two decades. "I want to clarify that the car park we are talking about is the one next to the shopping center in this area and that it is, from today, a public car park with free access to any citizen," the mayor said. Third, Cartagena Parque had the obligation to present an urbanization project for the entire Rambla Park, which it has already presented and which is being analyzed by municipal technicians. Finally, Cartagena Parque had to subsidize 150 million pesetas to collaborate with the urbanization works of the so-called Parque de la Rambla.
This obligation has been fulfilled through the deposit of a guarantee of 901,518.16 euros, on December 4, 2020. “This agreement was signed under the mandate of Mayor Antonio Vallejo.
Due to different vicissitudes that are not worth remembering, it has not been executed in three decades, and, finally, it is resolved, allowing to improve mobility in our municipality and favoring expansion in an area that has been paralyzed for too many years ”, added Castej n. “When on February 11, 2019, we announced the unblocking of the Rambla Plan, there were many who dedicated themselves to questioning and putting stones in the way.
I can understand that after thirty years, many were disbelievers.
It is more difficult for me to understand that some seem bothered that a strategic project for the municipality has been reactivated and is now a reality.
With a lot of effort, work and dialogue, always defending municipal interests above any other, we have managed to reactivate what seemed impossible, ”explained the mayor. Ana Bel n Castej n ended by thanking the immense work carried out during these months by the officials of the Urban Planning area, as well as the predisposition of the company to rigorously comply with each and every one of agreements signed more than thirty years ago. On the other hand, the road will be open to traffic predictably at the end of the year, when the improvement works that the City Council is carrying out on Soldado Rosique street finish. In addition, the mayor has explained that the urbanization of each of the three polygons will be carried out when the owner of the same decides to build. Despite this, the City Council has asked the company to advance the accesses to the Concepci n neighborhood and to the Stadium to guarantee the connection of the neighborhood with both road and pedestrian traffic. For this reason, in this area of ??the Rambla Plan there are only sidewalks that connect with the Concepci n neighborhood.
In any case, the mayor has guaranteed that there will be sidewalks throughout the area and a bike lane. With regard to the risk of flooding, the construction of the new road has been carried out following the 2020 regulations on sanitation and rainwater collection, with which infinitely hydraulic infrastructures have been built at the expense of the builder better than those that would have been made 20 or 30 years ago. In addition, all the suggestions that residents have made to improve flood problems in the area have been undertaken or are being completed, taking advantage of this new infrastructure. Finally, the City Council, as it wants to definitively resolve the problems of avenues from the Atalaya, which have nothing to do with the Rambla Plan, is already carrying out the pertinent project that will have a budget allocation of approximately 200,000 euros, in the year 2021 and that will be executed in the same year, thus ending a historical problem in the neighborhood.
