Dávila commented that “the trial period concludes and now we enter the assessment period where all the analyzes will be done. And the objective of the Cabildo is to improve the conditions of all citizens and the results of the test will be those that indicate the decisions made by the Cabildo, and with the help of the DGT, with the information from the Civil Guard, and the town councils, because we have worked with the technical team of the Mobility Area of the La Laguna City Council and the mayor himself.” “All opinions will be taken into account, including those of the neighbors,” he said.
