The mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, announced after the meeting this morning of the Local Government that it has given the green light from the works of pedestrian Icue Square to Main Street, with which the proceedings are finally completed to be carried out in this regard to pedestrianise the main axis of the old town, which began in the streets of Caramel and Sagasta.
According to Pilar Barreiro, at the request of downtown merchants, the works will begin in July, while respecting the first half, when the pull occurs rebates, as they seek to affect the least possible sales of these businesses.
In addition, try to fit these activities so that during the holidays, the center can be walked on, stopping the work if necessary, Carthaginians and Romans, or Holy Week.
The project's goal is to create an extensive leisure, shopping and walking, where the streets are primarily for pedestrians.
In this second phase, eight blocks affect work-Puertas de Murcia, Plaza de San Sebastian, Santa Florentina, Conduit Square Castellini, seine, Quartermaster and Villamartin-in a setting of 9,500 square meters, about one thousand meters that the first phase.
Project of note is the expansion of the square in the direction Icue Castellini, with the same criteria be applied to the Plaza de San Sebastián.
Elsewhere, the road is equated to the sidewalks and in street furniture will be installed fourteen sets of banks and planters similar to those installed in the streets of Caramel and Sagasta.
Vehicular access to the new pedestrian area will be regulated with the retractable bollard system, as is already working on the street Sagasta, both for input by Santa Florentina as the square Castellini.
With the redevelopment of downtown, there may be changes around urban transport.
The Councillor for Infrastructure, José Vicente Albaladejo, stressed about it we have to consider the need to change the current settings and increase public transportation bus lines.
On the other hand, try to avoid drainage problems that can cause flooding, as has happened in the street from Carmen, for which Aquagest conduct a full study.
The deadline for the execution of the works is ten months and the total amount of 2,132,968 euros project is divided into two annuities, of which 1,200,000 euros are for 2008 and 932,000 euros by 2009.
This action will terminate the old pedestrian in the city, although the mayor has indicated that they have been fringe, as the case Serreta Street or the Wall down the slope of Batel, works that have recognized not feel too proud and do not work out as hoped his administration.
