Cartagena, Tuesday November 14-.
The Municipal Citizens Group in Cartagena has learned that the City will shortly tender the hiring of the technical project for the construction of a motorhome service area (ASAC) and a free parking deterrent in a municipal plot near the Hospital of Santa Lucia.
These works are framed within the response, in its first phase, of the Government to the amendment of the orange formation to the municipal budgets of 2017 for the improvement of access to the Santa Lucia Hospital.
Specifically, Cs reserved a 300,000 euro item to enable a pedestrian access to the hospital, an amendment that has been used, with the approval of Cs, to develop a broader plan.
The objective of the contract is to carry out a technical and execution project necessary for the construction of an ASAC, and a parking deterrent for access to the city and close to the Santa Lucia Hospital with a capacity yet to be determined but that will greatly exceed the hundred seats, in existing municipal plots in the vicinity of CT-33.
The execution period will be four weeks, after which the works will be put out to tender and it is considered that work could begin before the end of the year.
On the other hand, the Department of Infrastructure have informed Citizens that they have already requested the Demarcation of State Roads to regulate and incorporate pedestrian crossings in the section of the CT-33 to facilitate the transit of people.
According to the spokesperson of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "during the various meetings we have held to follow up on the implementation of our amendments, we have accepted this plan that ultimately pursues what we asked in our amendments to improve access to Hospital Santa Lucia, and also meet a historic demand as is that free parking. "
In addition, "with the parking of motor homes we managed to eliminate a deficit suffered by the center of Cartagena where until now there was no nearby place to serve this tourism sector", explained Manuel Padín.
Two imperative needs
The CT-33 is one of the accesses to the city of Cartagena;
At present, this section of the highway serves as a connection between the Port of Cartagena and the A-30, but it is also a barrier between the neighborhoods of Santa Lucía, Los Mateos and Lo Campano.
In spite of this, due to the proximity of both towns it has become a habitual zone of transit of people and cyclists.
People walk on the sides producing situations of risk.
The strips next to the shoulder do not meet the requirements of pedestrian path or bike lane, and therefore requires an important investment to prepare it for this purpose.
In addition, there is no parking deterrent in the vicinity of the neighborhood or in the vicinity of the Santa Lucia Hospital, giving the circumstance that the only way to park a vehicle in it is in a private high-cost parking.
On the other hand, it is necessary to create a service area for motorhomes (ASAC) that allows highlighting the city of Cartagena in this type of tourism.
The future service area will have a minimum capacity of 70 places, its perimeter will be fenced, it will have a clean point, electrical outlets, toilets, charging points for electric vehicles, access control, and security systems (camera placement and connection with the Local Police).
Orange amendments running
With the implementation of this project, according to Manuel Padín, "we can say that the City is complying with the execution of all our amendments to the budgets: some are being executed as in the consolidation work in the Roman Amphitheater, or the one that reference to the conditioning of both the Auditorium and the Torres Park environment, the improvement of Beatas street and its perpendicular streets to Serreta street, others are about to begin as the Cartagena Accessibility Plan update as we saw in the last ordinary Plenary , the conditioning of the cheniles and the esplanade of the CATAD, the construction of public toilets in the historic center, and the incentives for talent through the creation of an online platform with advice to link the Cartagena talent who had to emigrate (and wants to return ) because of the crisis, with our companies. "
"This shows that Ciudadanos has exerted a positive and constructive influence in the City Council from a supervisory but also useful opposition, and that we have turned out to be a key actor in the mobilization of public investments," Padín said, concluding that "now we just need to lower the water bill, and we will be willing to offer to negotiate the next municipal budgets.
