The municipal group Progress and Democracy Union, through its spokesman Ruben Serna, expressed support for a tram route linking the resort of El Carmen Murcia's main artery, Gran Vía, "as long as this happens to have a traffic shaping "restricted to emergencies, public transportation, access to car parks and residents.
In this way, would ensure that as many citizens as possible will use this means of transport and at the same time, profit and the high cost and maintenance of the tram.
As is reflected in the electoral program of UPyD Murcia, the main objective of the tram route should cover the most densely populated municipality in both urban and villages.
For Serna, the option to restrict traffic on Gran Via "is a bold" and proceed to "semipeatonalización" to the above cases, "would give a boost to the area that would be great benefits."
"Any other option that does not involve restricting traffic", which signifies that the tram use a shared space with road traffic "just cause more trouble than good," he concludes.
