The mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda, requested last Monday to the Minister of Public Works, Housing and Mobility of the Government of the Canary Islands, Pablo Rodríguez, the study of alternatives and the inclusion of the expansion project of the LZ-2 road, in the section between the population centers of Yaiza and Playa Blanca in the next Regional Agreement on roads.
Noda set himself the goal of “ensuring the investment that allows doubling the road in each of the directions attending to the volume of traffic that this eleven-kilometer stretch already supports”, as reported this Thursday by the mayor to all the political groups represented in the municipal plenary session, where the southern City Council will formalize the request to the Executive presided over by Fernando Clavijo.
Óscar Noda specifies that “it is about projecting and executing this first phase of what would be the southern axis, which has the commitment of the Government and I hope also of the Island Council”. Both institutions agree that the improvement of the southern axis must be carried out in phases given the complexities of two other sections: IES Yaiza - Uga and Uga - Yaiza.
The mayor of Yaiza appreciates “the predisposition of the minister to attend to our technical considerations. Pablo Rodríguez is convinced that it is a necessity that we must face and we share that we are facing an intervention that will not involve great technical and administrative difficulties”.
According to the consistory in a press release, the first phase would be between Yaiza - Playa Blanca, but the meeting also exposed the need to expand the sections between IES Yaiza and Uga (phase II) and between Uga and Yaiza (phase III).
On the other hand, Óscar Noda took advantage of the work meeting in Gran Canaria to ask for collaboration from the Government in the drafting of the project that gives a solution to the rehabilitation or improvement of the road that connects the Maciot roundabout and the town of Femés, known as the Cuesta del Paso: “The road is quite deteriorated and demands a forceful action, and although it is of municipal responsibility, it is still a road of insular interest through which hundreds of tourists and residents pass daily”.
