The City Council presided over by Óscar Noda has just awarded the company Lanzagrava a contract for more than 800,000 euros to develop road works on deteriorated streets in Playa Blanca. "The municipal project renews and builds infrastructure and improves accessibility in the tourist town, all tasks that favor the actions planned in the Yaiza Sustainable Mobility Plan," they point out from the Consistory.
The mayor specifies that "the initiative includes the total reconstruction of La Molina street, the repair and paving of nine more streets, new sections of bike lanes, sidewalks and a roundabout in one of the conflicting traffic points, citizen demands that we resolve by investing more than 800,000 euros of our own resources."
Yaiza opts for a total intervention in La Molina street, "understanding that only resurfacing does not solve the structural problems of this important road that relieves traffic through the center of town and also supports a good flow of traffic of all types of vehicles, including trucks and buses," says the Councilor for Public Works, Jonatan Lemes.
The Yaiza City Council has ultimately commissioned the structural rehabilitation and paving of La Fragata, La Bonilla, La Nueva, El Rechabal, La Concha, La Mercedes, Montaña Blanca, Hoya de Fuera and El Cobre streets, in addition to La Molina street, all adapted to current accessibility regulations.
In La Molina street, a transverse drainage is planned to evacuate rainwater and avoid flooding on the road. Also a bike lane whose route extends along La Fragata street, another of the roads subject to intervention, where a roundabout will be built for interconnection with Avenida a Femés to eradicate this conflicting traffic point where accidents occur due to the carelessness of drivers who run the stop sign, exactly behind the El Aulagar urbanization.
These actions, the mayor points out, "give continuity to the road improvement plan that recently led us to invest 1.3 million euros, also from municipal resources, in the rehabilitation of fourteen streets in Uga and Yaiza. We had already done it before in Femés, Las Casitas and Las Breñas. All these interventions involve channeling public service networks, which has allowed fiber optics for internet access to reach more homes in the municipality."
