The protests that the residents of the neighborhood of The Ramblain the municipality of San Juan de la RamblaThey jam every Sunday at noon traffic on the TF-5. Despite the fact that the protest does not generate direct cuts in traffic, the so-called “peeper effect” does produce important retentions in both directions between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. Last weekend, the traffic jam was considerable both in the direction of Los Realejos and in the direction of Icod de los Vinos.
The rambleros do not intend to give up their demand and will maintain the protest this Sunday, the 13th. Sources from the neighborhood platform have detailed to EL DÍA that “despite the fact that we have been protesting for five Sundays, neither the Cabildo de Tenerife nor the Government of the Canary Islands They have deigned to contact the platform that is organizing this fight so that the difficulties that exist in entering and leaving the neighborhood both by car and if using public transport are solved. Nor are they satisfied with the works being carried out to the bus stops in Titsa in this environment, who believe that “they have made our situation worse”.
After five weeks of protests, those affected criticize the lack of response from the administrations involved
The demand for a safe link that joins the neighborhood of The Rambla with the TF-5 has the unanimous support of the Municipal Corporation, with the mayor, Ezequiel Dominguez (PSOE), to the head. AIS-CC, PP, AUP- Sí se puede and San Juan de la Rambla Somos Todos share this neighborhood demand. In a plenary session held on December 23, 2021, they branded “an obvious offense that has been left out of the project for the section of the island ring between Icod and La Guancha the solution to the insecurity of access to La Rambla».
What is claimed to Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo de Tenerife is that they take into account the improvement of the security of this black point of the TF-5 and link it to the next execution of the new section of the Island Ring between Las Aguas and Icod, which will start a kilometer from this dangerous intersection, or at least plan a compatible alternative solution. For the first ramblero deputy mayor, Juan Ramos (AIS-CC)«the solution exists and is in a technical project of 2016, which should be executed at the same time as the new section of the ring».
