The Municipal Group of the Canarian Coalition-PNC of Puerto de la Cruz announces that it will propose, in the next plenary session of the local Corporation, a motion in which it requests the implementation of a plan to improve road safety in the city “that involves changes in accessibility and horizontal and vertical signage. The Puerto Rican nationalists propose the realization of an urgent report that “allows detecting the places where the signaling or the accessibility of the pedestrian crossings require an intervention”.
The former mayor of Porto and councilor of CC, Sandra Rodríguez, points out that “if necessary, the Cabildo de Tenerife should be required to execute the necessary actions within its jurisdiction.” In addition, she hopes that this plan will be budgeted “with a sufficient amount, and charged to the remaining treasury, to carry out the necessary actions.”
Rodríguez assures that “in the city we have a serious deficit in terms of the signaling of strictly municipal roads and those of insular competence; to the maintenance of signs and some traffic lights, and in terms of accessibility for people with functional diversity in pedestrian crossings. In addition to a long etcetera of gaps to cover and needs to improve.
“We have detected, and the citizens of Puerto de la Cruz have sent us this, a great concern about the problems generated by this situation, sometimes precarious, both for road users and for pedestrians who have to cross them or go on the sidewalks,” warns the former mayor. “We find pedestrian crossings that have almost disappeared, traffic lights that remain flashing yellow without the possibility of changing to red for vehicles, deterioration of horizontal signage varies throughout the city, deterioration of vertical signage, including the one that contains information on traffic distribution. . All this, in a tourist city like ours, is something unforgivable”, regrets the mayor of CC.
