Neighbors propose an underpass to avoid expropriations and improve circulation |
The municipal groups PSOE Citizens Now Murcia and change Murcia presented at the municipal plenary on Thursday a motion for a participatory process in which alternatives are studied the project to build the bridge across the railroad tracks to open the Tiñosa road height (Los Dolores).
At present there is a bridge with no sidewalks or safe areas for pedestrians, which also supports a lot of traffic.
With the new route for the arrival of the AVE and the need to install the new catenary, is designed to replace this bridge by one larger that is not only more visual and environmental impact, but also requires compulsory expropriation land about thirty neighbors who it off will meet the bridge in front of their windows.
The purpose of the motion endorsing the four political opposition group in the city of Murcia, is to get a participatory process in which they can discuss and agree on alternative ways to address the problem open.
Neighbors opt for an underpass for vehicles and pedestrians, and improve circulation, prevent the expropriation of their land.
"What we want is to get them to listen to the neighbors and their concerns are addressed. In any case this process of participation and dialogue that we want to open must lead to any delay for the arrival of the AVE to Murcia, but we are aware of a rethinking of the project in the same area by other problems arising from the railway line itself, it would be the ideal time to sit down and discuss how the least possible harm to neighbors Tiñosa road, "said the socialist councilor Enrique Ayuso.
This line has also said spokesman Citizens, Mario Gomez: "We have to search all the best solutions to ensure the residents of this area proper accessibility and safe mobility, achieve a consensual project for the benefit of all and flee excuses when establishing channels for dialogue and agreement ".
For his part, Councillor Now Murcia Angeles Micol has criticized the mayor Ballesta "swallow directly with all proposed Adif, without analyzing whether it is more convenient for Murcia. Ballesta should defend the interests of the neighbors and not allow in no case to be carried out works that can cause harm. "
Micol added that, moreover, "Adif has proven to be a company that is unreliable, which is involved in numerous cases of alleged corruption and displays his penchant for the most expensive works, squandering public money, so their criterion should be questioned. "
Sergio Ramos, Murcia Councilman Let's change, "it is important to create a decent access between the north and south of the city for that area, and not condemn neighborhoods and districts like Los Dolores to be cut off from the rest of the municipality."
Therefore, he has called for a comprehensive solution to the passage between the north and south of this town.
"We can not perform some works of the AVE regardless of the constraints posed to the mobility of people and vehicles in such a town like Los Dolores environment, which also serves Garres and San Jose de la Vega, etc., Ramos has argued.
Among the allegations made to the existing project, also highlight the damage to the neighbors, the high cost of construction of the new bridge and the serious impact on the landscape for the area.
The alternative proposal would allow an underpass with high sidewalks and cyclists step to ensure the safety of all road users, which currently does not occur, and prevent the expropriations provided to neighbors.
