"

The mayor recalled that "since the end of 2006 a bill that highlighted the remodeling of the current situation of the urban roads, has become one of the main access to downtown, and every day thousands of channels vehicles entering the city. "

This project was intended to give as swiftly as possible to traffic.

Matthew continued his appearance before the media explaining that "the project will transform the current design of the street going to have the same four-lane, two in each direction, eliminating one of a parallel side streets that exist in some of the legs."

In addition, continued Mateos, "would be maintained parks, most likely in line, and improve the sidewalks making them more width. Also, one of the sides were expected to create a bike lane, which could connect with and Cazalla existing. "

The Socialist councilor noted that "of particular importance is the need for action at the intersection known locally as the Cat, which corresponds to the intersection of Alameda de Cervantes with the Way of the Cat and the street poet to Vico. If it was necessary in 2006 urgent action now, in 2010, is even more. At this time the movement at that intersection is regulated with traffic lights and what is planned to run to do there is to build a round, and in this way would eliminate the traffic lights and this would result in a greater facilitation of traffic. in any case guarantee the safety of residents and pedestrians. "

Diego José Mateos wanted to clarify that "for a discussion on this site is anticipated that the new buildings are set back, as it has. The only problem is in one corner, the others are municipal property and which corresponds to the garden Sastre's residence Sunday, the ISSORM. would require the licensing of about 120 square meters in one part of the garden which in practice is not used. "

The socialist mayor made a summary of the current situation of the area as "the City Council have been consulted with experts from the department of the Autonomous Region and it seems that there were no problems. However, lack the political negotiations to realize that assignment. As this process is resolved the first phase of the refurbishment of the Alameda de Cervantes could start, giving priority to the construction of the roundabout at the junction of the cat, now indispensable. "

Mateos argued that "today is an urgent need for this project because since 2006 there has been a logical and expected urban development in the area: new residential areas and mental health center, in bidding the new health center and nursery school of 0-3 years so that in time will be increased significantly the volume of vehicles in that area. "

Finally, the mayor noted that the neglect of this development is "an example of the paralysis to which they have undergone since the Popular Party government of our city. At the slightest difficulty remains on the table a project so important, all This is due to the inability of our rulers. Therefore, from the Socialist Party, we urge the City Council and the Planning Department to resume the renovation project of the Alameda de Cervantes and, above all, give priority to the construction of the roundabout the "crossing of the cat to have prepared the basic infrastructure for the development of the area."
