The Cabildo of Tenerife, through the Territorial Planning and Historical Heritage Area, has awarded the works for the Finca Escuder park project, located in the Taco neighborhood, in the municipality of La Laguna. The staking act, a mandatory step to be able to start the works, was signed yesterday.
The island director of Historical Heritage, Isabel de Esteban, recalled that the work has a budget of 1.2 million euros and has been awarded to the company Ecocivil Electromur GE, with a period of seven months. Among the planned actions is the creation of two types of routes for runners, on asphalt and on compacted earth.
For his part, the mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, celebrated “the beginning of some works that have been long demanded by the residents of Taco and that will be a stimulus for the neighborhood. With this action, La Laguna will gain a large venue for sports and recreation, a green space that responds to criteria of sustainability and healthy living.”
“The recovery of Finca Escuder is a good example that collaboration between administrations is essential when carrying out large projects that improve the quality of life of citizens,” highlighted the local councilor in this regard.
The project aims to environmentally regenerate the property, which borders the Taco neighborhood and Padre Manjón Street, and the construction of a sports and leisure park. In total, about 5,900 square meters of surface will be intervened.
Among the actions planned in the area, the creation of two types of routes for runners is contemplated, on asphalt and on compacted earth. In total, 540 linear meters are planned for asphalt roads and 360 for dirt roads.
