The Todos con la Rambla platform regrets the contradictions of those responsible for the Tenerife Cabildo with public transport in San Juan de la Rambla and describes it as authentic “nonsense” as this same institution is the one that encourages its use to decongest traffic on the Rambla. Island.
Its spokesperson, Adela Abreu, explains that there is a bus stop that they made in the new Santa Cruz direction, almost at the entrance to the Rambla, in the Los Realejos direction, and when asking the island’s Highways Minister, Dámaso Arteaga, on Monday, who is responsible in the event of an accident, the response he gave was blunt: “You can’t cross. The risk belongs to the person who crosses.”
The same when they are told that they have to go to the San Juan neighborhood, in the direction of Isla Baja, or towards El Socorro, in Los Realejos, and then return to the San Juan de la Rambla stop to catch the bus. ”. “Tourists who visit the neighborhood go up and cross without knowing the risk it entails,” he insists.
“For what inhabitants did they make this stop in a protected space and with public money when on that side there are no houses and, therefore, no possible users of the bus and on top of that there is another stop a few meters away?” they ask. the platform.
“Two stops a short distance apart that no one can use because crossing is not allowed. All the inhabitants of the neighborhood live on the right side, so no one can go to Santa Cruz by public transportation. Something unthinkable in the times we live in,” says Abreu.
On the other hand, the platform continues to insist on the need to find a provisional solution at the entrance and exit to La Rambla from the TF-5, one of the main black spots on the road while the study of alternatives continues. A request that was discarded by the Cabildo, because, as the counselor told them on Monday during the visit he made to the municipality and held a meeting with some of its members, “the technicians would not sign that possibility because a tragedy could occur and they would not “They would take responsibility.”
In this sense, Adela Abreu maintains that “the Cabildo is giving us our time and we can’t take it anymore, another four years will pass and we will continue in the same situation.”
