| Murcia's Median and Roundabout Improvement Plan aims to rehabilitate these spaces to offer greater visibility to drivers and pedestrians, as well as to beautify the environment urban and improve our environment | The Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration led by José Guillén, is carrying out the Plan for the Improvement of Medians and Roundabouts of Murcia, which aims to rehabilitate these spaces to offer greater visibility to drivers and pedestrians, as well as to beautify the urban environment.In this framework, improvement works have been carried out in the median of Almirante Loaysa avenue, located in the continuation of Abenarabi from Juan de Borbón avenue, to the second roundabout that begins in Reino de Valencia.The actions include the remodeling of the flower beds, the renewal of plant elements with new species, as well as the modernization of the irrigation system.José Guillén explained that "we continue working in our green spaces, always prioritizing the improvement of the environment and road safety, also betting on urban landscape quality"Renovation of the irrigation system, substrate and ground coveringsAmong the renovated elements in this median, the new bushy plants stand out, covering more than 600 m2.
These native and highly rustic species are better adapted to environmental conditions and require less water.
Palm trees such as Washingtonia and Chamaerops have also been incorporated.The installation of a modern intelligent irrigation system has also been carried out, which has thousands of micro irrigation devices, as well as various smart valves and sensors to control water efficiency to the maximum, with programmers that work with solar energy, giving it total autonomy.In this way, irrigation has been automated to make efficient use of water, measuring the water need in each area.
Irrigation in this summer season is carried out at night, to improve evapotranspiration, which makes the plant increase its vitality and better absorb the water it needs, saving costs and resources.Likewise, the substrate has been enriched with organic matter and the ground coverings that have been lost due to atmospheric phenomena such as rain have been renewed.Increase in urban biodiversity and environmental benefitsThis Improvement Plan also takes into account the biodiversity of the environment, incorporating new elements to protect urban fauna, such as nest boxes, drinking fountains and insect hotels, in order to protect the most common species from negative stimuli.
such as noise pollution from road traffic or atmospheric conditions, such as rain or low temperatures.The improvement of environmental quality is a reality thanks to these remodeling, since the emission of oxygen into the environment is increased and polluting gases are captured, as well as environmental dust.
Plant elements act as natural regulators of environmental conditions.
