The tasks that are carried out, section by section, consist of removing and clearing weeds, eliminating possible branches that prevent the correct operation of the lane, care and maintenance of the different benches along the route The Murcia City Council, through the Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration, led by José Guillén, carries out cleaning and clearing work on the bike path that connects the Raal and the Contraparada. In total, it is reviewing and acting on 26.5 kilometers to avoid obstacles on the road and that could bother cyclists and pedestrians who make this route daily. "We improve the quality of life of Murcian by creating spaces where outdoor sports can be encouraged and they can go for a walk as a family.
Caring for the environment, improving the air we breathe and natural spaces are fundamental so that our neighbors can put in practice healthy habits and enjoy the municipality "has highlighted José Guillén. Among the tasks carried out are the removal and clearing of weeds, the elimination of possible branches that prevent the correct operation, care and maintenance of the different banks that are on the route. These tasks, which are carried out periodically, are carried out by a team of people who work with all kinds of specialized machinery and who allow the space to be solved and reviewed section by section. They also solve in a timely manner, according to the needs that exist, any incident during the tour. The City Council thus continues to bet on the use of sections of bike lanes while promoting healthy habits such as walking and cycling, always following the measures and protocols set by the Covid-19 crisis. Murcia Río, the largest environmental transformation of the municipality, so that Murcians can enjoy nature The 'Murcia Río project is already a reality, and in its first phase an extension of more than 60,000m2 of green areas and naturalized spaces has already been opened to Murcia, recreating the Huerta and recovering the riverside vegetation.
This is the greatest environmental transformation of the last decade, becoming the largest river park and leisure park in the municipality. The 'Murcia Río' social and environmental recovery project is made up of the Alameda del Malecón, the Cuatro Piedras, the bike path of the mota del río, the intelligent lighting of the riverbed installed throughout its urban section; as well as the right and left banks of the river, the River Walk and the La Contraparada Visitor Center. The continuation of this transformation project continues with the Teniente Flomesta Garden that offers 8,200 m2 for rest and family leisure with views of the river. Murcia Río II will extend along 27 km of riverbed, crossing 14 districts, from Contraparada to Alquerías and El Raal, and will mean the creation of new leisure, sports and cultural areas throughout its route.
This project is being developed with new green areas and river paths that will enhance the Segura landscape over 2 million m2. Three new footbridges will connect both banks of the river at the height of Murcia Parque-Museo del Agua, Jardín Soto-Cuartel de Artillería and Jardín de la Alameda-Barriomar. Among the actions to be carried out in the meanders, the restoration of old motes, the creation of naturalized parks in green areas close to the river bed, the creation of agroecological river terraces and new access roads to the river area stand out.
