The work of the dike street It will mean the elimination of about 50 car parks. This is the number of places estimated by the Councilor for Infrastructure, Damaso Arteagawill be lost by adding those of the road on which the work is going to be carried out, which will become pedestrianized, and those that will be lost by placing the car parks on the bank of the maritime avenue lane in the direction of Santa Cruz in line, to provide this part of the avenue with a sidewalk, and make parking safer.
Plazas that Arteaga assures will be compensated, in turn, with the change to battery of those that are currently in line in the lane closest to the sea of the maritime avenue, at least during the execution of the work.
The mayor assures that, despite the fact that in the last meeting a tie was reached between the neighbors and merchants who wanted to start the works in January and those who wanted to wait for the parking spaces of the tome, in the month of April , “if we get the go-ahead from the Mobility area to switch the car parks in the lane closest to the sea to battery power, we will begin work in January.” With this measure, the lack of parking would be alleviated until the almost 300 spaces at the beachhead were enabled.
A decision that, in addition, entails the reduction of the entrance to the beach to a single lane and that, according to Arteaga, will not be a problem for mobility. “The avenue already becomes a single lane towards the end, so if this change is applied, we only advance the conversion to a single lane 300 meters,” he said.
