Urban Scene replaces more than 200 damaged tiles on Paseo de Poniente

The department of Urban Scenery has begun the replacement of more than 200 tiles of Paseo de Poniente that were broken or very damaged. The councilman of the area, José Ramón González de Zárate, has indicated that "this task is being carried out by the Technical Services staff of the City Council, mostly with the spare material we had, and is being carried out throughout Paseo de Poniente, from Elche Park to Vicente Llorca Alós avenue. "

De Zárate explained that although "we have maintained the promenade well, not allowing as a rule the transit of service vehicles in the paved area," the passage of time "has caused problems in the expansion joints, which has meant that Many tiles have been broken. "

In addition to changing the damaged tiles, the operation to improve the walk includes also "the planting of more than 4,000 units of rosemary in the garden areas". This action "will begin shortly" and will be charged to the improvements offered by the concessionary company for the maintenance of the parks and gardens of the city, Actúa.

The councillor pointed out that "in the face of water pressure problems that make grass turf unviable, we have opted for rosemary and for specimens that already have a certain size because it is a very resistant species", something necessary since many pedestrians cross through the landscaped areas instead of the paved ones.

De Zárate pointed to these two performances, which will be completed before Easter, is going to get "a totally different feeling for that promenade so emblematic for the city."
