The Tías City Council, in collaboration with the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo of Lanzarote, has begun the execution of a plan of works to improve road infrastructure and street furniture, paving of sidewalks, underground telephone, water and low voltage ducts and public lighting in Puerto del Carmen.
With an investment of 3 million euros and the development of the three conditioning projects for the commercial, tourist and environmental areas of the historic center of La Tiñosa, action will be taken on more than 60 streets and more than 5 thousand meters of curbs will be built, 136,954 square meters of streets will be paved, 51,000 meters of road signs and 596 vertical signs will be placed, in addition to 200 public lighting columns. The three projects will be completed before November 30, 2006.
La Tiñosa
The conditioning works of the historic center of La Tiñosa, which are already in an advanced state and affect Teide, Marangalla, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Los Verdes and Los Infantes streets, have an investment of close to 310,000 euros, and consist of paving the roads, widening the sidewalks, underground channeling of existing lines and providing public lighting in the area.
Likewise, the works of the conditioning project of the commercial area of Puerto del Carmen have also begun, where the City Council, in collaboration with the Cabildo of Lanzarote and the Government of the Canary Islands through the Agreement for the Promotion of Open Commercial Areas of the Canary Islands, will improve the commercial area of La Tiñosa, with an investment of 600,000 euros, half of which (300,000) is provided by the regional executive and the rest, the two local administrations in equal parts (150,000 each).
Execution period
The project, which will have an execution period of 6 months, will be developed in the commercial areas located between Juan Carlos I and Roque Nublo streets, with the aim of improving the basic equipment conditions and aesthetic harmonization in order to stimulate local commerce, recover, maintain and promote the center of La Tiñosa.
The project's actions are aimed at recovering an area that is deteriorated due to its antiquity, as it corresponds to the first period of development of Puerto del Carmen.
Thus, in Jameos street, in the section between Botabara and Juan Carlos I streets, the sidewalk will be widened and the old pipes will be replaced, the entire road will be repaved and street furniture and parking spaces will be introduced.
Likewise, the Olivín Center square will undergo a general image change of street furniture and pavement. The existing vegetation will be respected and large planters will be built for the palm trees.
Pavement and street furniture
In El Poril street, the action mainly affects the pavement and street furniture. A small square will be created in which benches and planters and a wooden pergola will be placed. Likewise, part of the central wall that divides the street in two will be demolished to provide a planter.
In Juan Carlos I street, in the section between Los Jameos and the Passage towards Roque del Oeste, a modification of the alignment of the sidewalk will be made, extending it at the expense of the battery parking spaces that become online. In the aforementioned passage, its structure is changed, the access ramp is restricted to expand the platform, where a central body of street furniture will be placed, with benches of different sizes and 2 wooden pergolas.
In Roque Nublo street, between Bajamar and La Gomera, the sidewalk will be widened, street furniture and lighting will be provided and the aerial line will be channeled under it. This action will continue along Bajamar street, in its section between Roque Nublo and El Hierro.
Likewise, the works of the project to Condition the tourist area of Puerto del Carmen" are also beginning, within the Tourist Infrastructure Plan, in which the Government of the Canary Islands also collaborates, which has a budget of 2,067,092 euros.
Tourist area
The project basically consists of paving a series of streets in Puerto del Carmen. Likewise, curbs and sidewalk pavement with an average width of 1.50 meters will be installed, after placing the low voltage, telephone and public lighting network pipes. In addition, all the affected streets will be provided with the corresponding vertical and horizontal signage.
The streets Plutón, Urano, Mercurio, Avenida de las Playas, Burgao, Erizo, Rusia, Hungría, Avenida Italia, Holanda, Salinas, Alemania, Suecia, Portugal, Los Afrechos and Los Cabezos, Tomillo Alpahor, Malva, Chabusquillo, Júpiter, Francia, Yugoeslavia, Grecia, Finlandia, Chalana, Arpon, Rociega, Nasa, Ancla and Princesa Guayarmina, will be given a layer of hot asphalt conglomerate.
The streets Tomillo, Alpahor, Malva, Reina Sofía, Los Volcanes and Princesa Guayarmina will also be provided with curbs and hydraulic tiles, after placing the pipes. Likewise, the streets Plutón, Urano, Júpiter, Noruega, Bélgica, Finlandia, Reina Sofía, Los Afrechos, Risco Prieto, Los Ajaches, Bentagüaire and Princesa Guayarmina will be installed with public lighting.
The rest of the streets in the tourist area have not been included in these actions because they are affected by the expansion of the sanitation of Puerto del Carmen, with the recently approved Pluviales Project, and will be treated after the works of the same are executed.
