The president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, María Dolores Corujo, has announced that the First Island Institution "will launch a shuttle bus system from Tinajo and Yaiza to visit the Montañas del Fuego" and definitively rules out, therefore, the creation of a parking lot in the Chinero area.
Corujo has defended the "solidity" of a project that "bets on sustainability" for the transport of people. "It is a more effective and efficient model, which favors decarbonization and, therefore, the fight against climate change. It is, in short, the model of those of us who believe in a territory that prides itself on being a Biosphere Reserve," she explained, adding that "this project solves, once and for all, an island problem that remained entrenched due to the inaction and neglect of previous corporations."
The president of the First Institution has announced that the Cabildo will submit this project to the Board of National Parks "in the coming weeks" to advance its implementation. María Dolores Corujo made this announcement at the end of a "cordial" meeting she held with the mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, who said he felt "very happy that an old demand of Tinajo is being met and the absurd idea of parking in Chinero is discarded."
Action plan in Tinajo
During the meeting, Corujo and Machín analyzed, together with the Minister of Public Works of the First Island Institution, Alfredo Mendoza, other issues considered "strategic" for the transformation and modernization of the municipality, such as the implementation of a set of actions aimed at "improving the quality of life of the residents of Tinajo".
Among them, they highlighted the resurfacing of the Tinguatón road, which, according to the mayor, "is a demand of years and an old unfulfilled commitment"; the improvement and conditioning works of the esplanade that hosts the Craft Fair and the surroundings of the church of Los Dolores and the launch of a "very beautiful" initiative from the socio-sanitary point of view, such as the El Calvario César Manrique Park, which "will facilitate the integration of young and old".
