For his part, the councilor responsible for the area, Jacobo Medina, points out that undertaking this action "will not only solve the demands of citizens, but will also improve the accessibility of a road as busy as the section between the Airport and Puerto del Carmen."

From the Cabildo they emphasize that among the special conditions of execution of this contract is the promotion of the employment of people with particular difficulties of insertion in the labor market and the hiring of people registered as job seekers in the offices of the Canarian Employment Service, giving priority to young people and the long-term unemployed, in order to promote youth employment and give opportunities to workers who have been unemployed for a longer time.
