The mayor of Arrecife, Yonathan de León, informs that starting this Monday the resurfacing work on the interior streets of the ten groups in the fishing neighborhood of Valterra begins. According to the City Council, "these are the first resurfacing works carried out by the council after more than 40 years of residents waiting for these improvements".

Since last week, and through the indications of the Department of Works, the awarded company, installed informative fences where the start of the works was announced from this Monday, the 11th, and the collaboration of the neighbors was requested by avoiding parking vehicles in those interior streets to allow the work of the machinery.

Yonathan de León, who is also the direct councilor of the Public Works Area of the City Council, has detailed that throughout this month of May the machinery will be working on the resurfacing of the streets of the housing developments for fishing families, and the surrounding streets. During this week, work will be carried out on Adolfo Topham, Francisco Fernández Bethencourt, Dr. Alfonso Spínola, and Benito Pérez Armas streets.

Clavijo y Fajardo street, where the Emergency area of the Valterra Health Center has its access, was recently repaved as part of the improvements in the surroundings of health centers, as in Titerroy and Valterra, where PMR parking areas (for vehicles with people with reduced mobility) were also created.

Changes on nearly 100 streets

The mayor has detailed that with this fourth resurfacing plan (launched during this term) actions will be carried out in several neighborhoods of Arrecife, in addition to Valterra. The City Council has planned the actions on those streets in parallel with possible underground works.

These one hundred streets are integrated into the street modernization actions and the asphalt pavement renewal with maintenance plans and direct resurfacing works, such as those being carried out in the Tinasaria neighborhood, or their tenders are scheduled for this summer.
