The councilman of Change Murcia Sergio Ramos has requested today in the Social Commission of follow-up of the works of burial of the railroad, in which ADIF has presented the modifications of the projects of the arrival of the AVE to the municipality, that is studied the opening of a level crossing in the underground zone next to the current pass of Santiago el Mayor.
Ramos explained that the new planning assumes that the AVE will not arrive on the surface and includes cutting the level crossing once the section has been buried from the Los Garres path to Santiago el Mayor.
At that time, the step will be closed for at least eight months, an approximate time as in all public works forecasts.
The municipal training in the City Council thanked the delegate of the Government in the Region, Diego Conesa, and the central government, this change with respect to the plans of arrival of the AVE to Murcia while it is satisfying a request from the neighbors of the south for 30 years, and the social groups of the municipality.
However, the mayor has insisted that Cambiemos Murcia will continue to defend the necessary permeability and has proposed to ADIF to carry out a study in this regard and to request the mandatory approval of the Railway Safety Agency for its execution.
"We understand that the situation can accommodate the exception that the legislation poses for the new level crossings," Ramos has proposed in line with the representatives of the ProSoterramiento Platform that have attended the meeting.
In addition, Murcia Change has called on the City Council to "do no more functions" and submit a "serious" mobility plan in order to mitigate the mobility problems that will occur during the works, such as the lack of sidewalks in the Orilla de la Vía street.
He has asked for greater coordination between public administrations since "it is not possible to return to a situation like the project to adapt the environment of the road and bridge of Tiñosa, which has been stopped for months due to the lack of ADIF permits".
