The Arrecife City Council has completed the placement of tree pits and planting of six specimens of the brachichito species, or bottle tree, on Lérida street in Valterra.

From the Consistory they explain that the action is part of the municipal “Tree Plan”, which foresees the planting of 25 trees also distributed in Almirante Boado Endeiza, Méjico and Doctor Gómez Ulla streets, donde the tree pits have already been installed and four flamboyán specimens or flame trees have been planted.

“Through this Tree Plan, endowed with a budget of just over 150,000 euros, we want to provide our municipality with more shade through the creation of more green areas, in order to make it more sustainable and respectful with the Environment, in addition to being more friendly to citizens”, says Astrid Pérez.

In this sense, the mayor of Arrecife recalls another important initiative that the capital City Council is undertaking in the seaside neighborhood of Valterra, such as “the improvement of the streets Tarragona, Gerona, Indio, Sotileza and Vicente Vilas González, to provide them with wide and comfortable pedestrian and road accesses, which optimize their connection with the entrance to the CEIP Nieves Toledo”. 

Framed in the “Safe School Path” project, the work includes the “elimination of architectural barriers, creation of raised crossings, improvement of horizontal and vertical signage and parking for bicycles”, and is co-financed with just over 407,000 euros by the Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the framework of the Sustainable Urban Development Strategy, CONURBAN AZUL, of the Sustainable Growth Operational Program 2014-2020.

“An action that will improve the access of students to the CEIP Nieves Toledo, favoring the movement of students in a safe and autonomous way, by reducing the traffic of motor vehicles near the school and thus contributing to a more sustainable and healthy mobility”, says Astrid Pérez.
