SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 10. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The president of the Cabildo de Tenerife and candidate for re-election for the PSOE, Pedro Martín, has underestimated this Wednesday the 90-day queue relief plan proposed by the CC candidate, Rosa Dávila, and has vindicated the planning and search work of financing to undertake highway works carried out by the corporation and the Government of the Canary Islands.
“From the outset it’s hard for me to give him credit,” he told journalists before speaking in a forum organized by ‘El Día’ and ironically saying that Dávila has promised to alleviate the traffic jams if he becomes president.
She has promised, however, that she will study it, although she believes that “it would also be good for her to study” the proposals made by the institutions governed by the PSOE, which have done in four years “the work that the Canarian Coalition did not do”. , such as preparing projects, obtaining financing and issuing tenders.
Thus, he has highlighted, for example, the remodeling works of Padre Anchieta, which will end this year, the La Laguna ring road, in the process of being tendered, or the construction of the third lane of the TF-5, already on public display .
Regarding this project, rejected by the mayors of Tacoronte and Santa Úrsula, he pointed out that “you cannot tell the public that the TF-5 does not need to be expanded and improved to end the traffic jams”, although he has admitted that ” it is reasonable” that some town halls have “differences in criteria” due to the layout.
In this sense, he has commented that “we will have to sit down to find the best solutions” but he understands that now “attention should not be diverted” when every day there are traffic jams on the TF-5 “and finally” there is a work on the table.
“We are going to sit down and study alternatives, seek the least possible impact, but it is a necessary work, without a doubt, even and above all, for the municipalities that are questioning it,” he added.
As for the closure of the ring, he has guaranteed that it will be finished next year because in February, the work on the Erjos tunnel was already over 80%, stressing that it is “very complicated” because it is an 11-kilometre stretch.
