The forecast is that, in two weeks, specifically, on the 13th, the remodeling of the surroundings of the Santa Cruz Marina Command will begin, as an end point to the work of pedestrian continuity of the Rambla de Santa Cruz that has been developing in the last year.
The project, which will be carried out by the company Elfidio Pérez, has as its objective the rehabilitation and superficial remodeling of the islets located at the confluence of La Rambla de Santa Cruz with Avenida Francisco La Roche, improving accessibility and transit in the area, both pedestrian and vehicles, ordering the space and including new pedestrian pavements, the replacement of the irrigation network and the planting of new landscaping in the flower beds and interior tree wells.
This work involves the felling and replacement of six Indian laurels from the end of the Rambla, but also from the rest of these diseased trees that populate the part in front of the Monument to Franco, some of the palm trees will also be removed. They will all be replenished.
As detailed this summer, when DIARIO DE AVISOS advanced the felling of these trees as part of the work, the councilor of Public services, Carlos Tarife, “those laurels are going to be replaced and the area is going to be passable for pedestrians, which is the same thing that we are doing a little further up, at the height of the Almeyda barracks.” “The objective -continues the mayor- is that people can continue walking along the Rambla through that pedestrian crossing or join Residencial Anaga”.
Among the justifications included in the project to intervene in the confluence of Las Ramblas and Francisco La Roche, it is detailed that, at present, “it presents a totally gloomy aspect due to the gradual loss of leaf mass of the ancient trees of this space, until such an extent that, at present, this area has totally lost its essence as the beginning of the central artery that crosses the urban development of Santa Cruz”.
