the board of Santa Cruz City Council Government today, Monday, approved the files of six requests to the Port Authority in order to incorporate into the city various roads that run through adjoining areas between the port and the urban area, owned by the former.
The mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, has emphasized that these requests approved by the Governing Board “signify one more part of the permanent and essential contact between Santa Cruz and the Port Authority, in the meetings in which they seek to take advantage of and incorporate the use of the city those roads and land that the port does not use and that can be incorporated into the capital”.
He added that these files in which the free transfer is officially requested today are those plots and roads in which the City Council is already acting and with the aim of allowing a better citizen service.
Dámaso Arteaga, Councilor for Municipal Heritage, reported that it is about requesting the execution of the necessary procedures so that they can be received, by free transfer in favor of the City Council, of plot 6, pieces of land that are part of the neighboring public pedestrian road to the site occupied by the headquarters of the Port Authority, with an area of 652 m2, and the same thing that happens with the piece of land located on the left bank of the Tahodio ravine and incorporated into the city road (José Martí street and Avenida de Anagas).
In the same way, Arteaga advanced, the Coastal Access Road to San Andrés has been requested, in the section that runs from the Barranco de Tahodio to the South and Cueva Bermeja to the North, disaffected from the port public domain and excluded from the service area of the port of Santa Cruz, which is a communication route in the Cueva Bermeja area, and argued that they are actually auctions of public roads of the municipal road that are currently owned by the Port Authority and that in some of these cases it has already been acting City Hall.
In the case of the section of the Vía Litoral for access to San Andrés that runs from Cueva Bermeja to the south to the so-called Jagua quarry (Los Pasitos), it is a road outside the operation of the port, commented the councilman, who He added that the same thing happens with the disaffected land from the public domain in the functional area of Tahodio, made up of the plot currently occupied by the Miguel Pintor School of Infant and Primary Education.
And finally, the free transfer of the land located in the functional area of Tahodio, which makes up the section of the city’s road system belonging to Andrómeda Street, in the neighborhood of La Alegría, has also been requested. “All these lands and parcels have been disaffected from the port public domain and, thanks to the negotiation within the Port-City Commission, the formal request for their free transfer to Santa Cruz can be made,” said the mayor.
