In this regard, the mayor expressed his commitment at said reception under the precepts that they be delivered in perfect conditions and with the possibility of launching projects, such as the bike lane, to which he also received the commitment of Pedro Suárez to study the alternatives to the regard. The City Council also requested areas that can be used as parking, as well as for holding events.
Precisely the construction of the bike lane between the port-city building and the María Jiménez neighborhood was another of the topics discussed and, in basic terms, after the delivery by the City Council of said project between the Puerto-Ciudad building and Valleseco, the Puerto is already working on its supervision to issue a feasibility report and proceed as soon as possible to the availability of land in its first section that reaches the former Musa facilities.
The financing of the execution of the Link Dock project through an inter-administrative agreement was another of the aspects discussed, agreeing to work in parallel, on the one hand, to adhere as many administrations as possible to said signature and, on the other, to move forward with the Management of Urban planning in the urban feasibility of the presented project.
