"The municipal officials of recent years in Arrecife have turned one of the most important streets of the 80s in our municipality into a ghetto that currently borders on marginality," says Armando Santana, candidate of Nueva Canarias to the Mayoralty of Arrecife, who continues to break down his electoral program focused on the "effort to improve the quality of life of the residents of the capital of Lanzarote," he says.

To this end, he continues to focus on the "depressing urban environment, one of the most reiterated demands by the residents of Arrecife," he acknowledges. To this end, Santana, "commits in the first months of his mandate to rehabilitate and solve one of the most important streets of Arrecife in Triana Street," he adds.

"A depressed street, affected by the lack of light, dirt, insecurity and with the need to rehabilitate its buildings," says Santana, who "this transformation will be achieved through the implementation of the innovative approach of tactical urbanism," he says.

Triana Street, which "suffers from lack of attention and maintenance, will become an exemplary model of how creativity and urban design can drive the regeneration and improvement of the welfare of Arrecife," he makes clear. "The coordinated efforts of local authorities, urban planning experts and committed citizens will contribute to the transformation that this capital city needs," he says.

These will be the main improvements to be implemented in the street: Renewed lighting: Installing a modern and efficient lighting system along the street, ensuring greater safety for residents and passers-by
during the night hours. Cleaning and maintenance: Carrying out exhaustive cleaning and maintenance work, eliminating waste and accumulated dirt. He acknowledges that "this will allow us to recover the aesthetics of the street, improving the quality of the environment."

In addition, security will be increased: Implementing measures to increase security, such as the installation of surveillance cameras and collaboration with the police forces. This will create a safer environment, fostering the confidence of residents, he argues.

The Rehabilitation of buildings will consist of: "Launching a comprehensive rehabilitation program for the buildings in the street, providing support to the owners to improve the appearance and conditions of their properties." "This initiative will have a significant impact on the aesthetics and overall attractiveness of the street," he says.

"The rehabilitation in Triana Street will demonstrate the transforming power of tactical urbanism, serving as an inspiring example for other streets in Arrecife that face similar challenges," concludes the candidate for mayor.
