- Cs also announces that it will request a crash plan to improve urban transport in the municipality that will include the improvement in the frequency of buses passing through this residential
The residents of Residencial Buenos Aires in Molinos Marfagones have collected half a thousand signatures with the aim of reducing isolation and abandonment and to demand the facilities and services promised by public administrations for years.
The spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has known this new neighborhood initiative in the meeting that this afternoon has been with some of these neighbors in the orange training facilities in the Palace Hall and recalled that his group has met and visited this area several times since August 2017.
The residents of Buenos Aires, more than 300 people, want in this way to pressure the City of Cartagena and the Autonomous Community to pay attention to their needs and resolve measures to stimulate the growth and improvement of this residential.
In this sense, they request the construction of an access roundabout to the intersection with the RM 332, as well as a bike lane or cycle path to Molinos Marfagones, such as the one that already exists between Santa Ana and its Polígono.
They consider urgent an improvement in the frequency of passage of the public service of buses so that it adapts its schedule to the real needs of the neighbors.
In addition, they demand the construction of a social space for activities and neighborhood meetings and new sports and recreational facilities.
They also consider it necessary for the City Council and the Community to apply measures that favor and promote the birth of a commercial area or a supermarket.
In favor of the construction of a school
Neighbors also consider it necessary for the Consistory to resume, facilitate and promote the construction of an educational center, supported by public funds.
For residents, there is demand and they remember some educational projects for the area since 2013;
They consider that its realization would be a revulsive to revitalize and develop the residential.
The neighbors consider that they are trapped in a causal loop that harms them and defend that the arrival of infrastructures will be an attraction to relaunch the sale of flats in the area.
In his opinion, it is a mistake to wait until the real estate market improves to start doing something, so you have to look for strong actions to push and attract new neighbors.
Citizens will propose measures to help neighbors
Regarding the frequency of buses, six buses a day, the orange spokesman recalled that his group will present a motion at the next regular plenary to urge the local government to make a crash plan to improve urban transport throughout the municipality ;
in the case of this residential, "the lack of frequency of buses not only supposes a decrease in the quality of communications (most of those who live there are young people who work in Cartagena), but also a trigger of road safety and that many neighbors decide to walk on the shoulder of RM 332, endangering their lives. "
For Citizens the time has come to find an exit to the construction of the roundabout, which would replace the current medium roundabouts on the RM 332 road, of regional ownership and where there have been serious accidents, the creation of a bicycle lane, to the improvement of the road, the installation of streetlights and traffic signs, the incorporation of security elements such as soundtracks, pedestrian crossings, sidewalks or speed bumps "Padín has reported that" at least your group does not want to wait for there is a new misfortune to start acting, both at the municipal and autonomous levels ".
On the occasion of these claims related to road safety and adding the pretension of the neighbors that the City Council promotes and encourages the construction of an educational center, the Citizens Group will request that a Working Table be constituted with the participation of all the municipal groups, technicians of the City Council and the Community and a representation of residents of the Residential Buenos Aires, "whose objective will be to find a consensual solution for all these problems, but we do not want this table to be eternal and go nowhere, On the contrary, we want it to have definite deadlines and that its pace of deliberation be high, "explained the local spokesman for Citizens who says he is" convinced that there is an answer to all these demands.
