The mayor, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, welcomed the process under way in these accesses and stated that “there is nothing more important than fulfilling the commitment given to citizens, and this commitment that is being seen, after many years, it’s becoming a reality.”
According to Rodríguez, “we laguneros and laguneras know perfectly well that this roundabout was one of the black spots that the city had in its access and exit and, therefore, that it is resolved after so many years is a source of pride.”
Along these lines, he pointed out that “this is the first of many works that we are going to implement jointly with the Cabildo throughout the municipality.”
For his part, Enrique Arriaga, Island Councilor for Highways, considered that the island’s highways “are many years behind” and therefore stated that the Cabildo’s Highway area “is working hard to ensure that they are as quickly and safely as possible.
