The mayor will present to the plenary session the approval of the Sustainable Parking Plan proposed by the Mobility Board
The proposal includes an economic and technical report of each proposal of the document
The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, will take to the next plenary, scheduled for Monday, January 30, a motion of urgency to approve the Sustainable Parking Plan (PES). This motion is in response to the agreement adopted on Friday by the Mobility Council, which includes political, business, associative and technical representatives, and in which a detailed presentation of this PES has been made.
This same body has also decided that in addition to the approval of this framework document, the proposal includes the realization of "an economic-financial study of all proposals of the PES, and another technicial sutdy made by especialists of Mobility and Engineering in order to know the impact and feasibility or not of each one of them", explained the councilman of Mobility, José Ramón González de Zárate.
De Zárate said "what we want is that next February we can carry out the proposals that the political groups consider that they are beneficial, for residents and also for the general interest." The councilman pointed out that this agreement to make technical and economic reports on each PES proposal conditions the motion submitted to the plenary session by the socialist municipal group regarding the reduction of the rate of the blue zone, as well as the one proposed by Compromís-Los Verdes about discretionary transport.
At the same meeting of the Mobility Council was addressed the report on public transport that "justifies what Benidorm would have to pay if the provision of this service were municipal rather than autonomous." This report, drafted by an external especialist, complements the one already transferred to the groups a few months ago that amounts to "more than 2 million euros annually the disbursement that the City should do to recover the management of public transport"; An amount that could be greater if it is taken care of to the total of users of the interurban lines and to the services that already subsidize the municipal coffers.
Finally, the report prepared by the same experts about the bike lane that was requested by the plenary session has also been analyzed. A report that "supports what is indicated by the Sustainable Mobility Plan (PMUS)" and, therefore, "the guidelines that are already being applied" as "the implantation of the bike lanes on the center of the road in great avenues" , or the creation of " bike lanes in those streets where the use of the car and the bicycle cannot be made independent".
