The general assembly of the Provincial Federation of Construction Entities of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Fepeco) ratifies «the potential of the sector as the only locomotive for the economic and social reactivation of the Island and of Canary Islands». Also, show your “Determined support” for key infrastructures such as the Tren del Sur or the variant of the TF-5 in La Laguna. All this within the general idea that “basic or structural infrastructures must be urgently executed” that allow “protagonizing economic growth and leading sustainable development in the Archipelago”.
The assembly of the entity approves “unanimously and forcefully” to support the construction of the railway infrastructure to the South and the execution of the work of the possible alternative to the traffic jams on the North Highway.
Fepeco affiliates consider that “for three decades now, the Island has been disjointed because the political confrontation of all against all makes constructive dialogue impossible that leads to the necessary consensus to generate confidence in investors.” These “only find uncertainty and legal insecurity.” Sentence: “There is no way to carry out the public works demanded by our society and the production system itself.”
The idea defended is that «the drawbacks always appear everywhere and from the most varied fields to keep alive a sterile debate, waste time and paralyze any action. This situation “leaves aside the general interests of Tenerife to put personal, partisan or ideological interests first.”
The advantages of the variant
They highlight the possibilities guaranteed by the variant of the TF-5 for La Laguna, especially “for the reunification of its urban area, currently crossed by a continuously collapsed highway.” This “will allow it to have territorial continuity from Geneto to the Padre Anchieta roundabout; revalue, economically and socially, this entire area, in addition to gaining a large space for the use and enjoyment of citizens. On the other hand, “it will be a spillway to decongest and speed up traffic on the Autopista de Norte”, which has suffered a huge load of vehicles as it passes through the City of the Adelantados for almost 40 years.
This work, they understand in Fepeco, “It will be an oxygen balloon for all citizens who have to travel from the north of the island and endure huge queues daily. An achievement “not only for Aguere, but for the entire island of Tenerife.” The execution of the work is “primordial”.
As for the train, “decarbonization and care for our environment pass through this infrastructure, since it currently does not use fossil fuels, reduces energy consumption and resorts to renewable sources.” For this reason, “expanding it in Tenerife is outrageous and detrimental to the island.”
Conclusion of the construction employers in Tenerife: «The train will mean sustainable, certain, safe and fast mobility. In addition, it will end with the collapse of queues every day at any time to cause a revulsive economic dynamic ».
