The 'A pie de Calle' campaign has moved today to the point where the work is carried out with the acting councilors for Mobility and Citizen Participation, José Ramón González de Zárate and Ana Pellicer, the vice president of the Neighborhood Council, Antonio Zamora, and residents of this neighborhood to know in detail the details and objective of the action.

Thus, as explained by González de Zárate, at this point "a traffic light and a new pedestrian crossing will be implemented that will allow greater protection for both pedestrians and vehicles in their access to Jaén Street, where is the Cultural Center”.

The councilor specified that it is a "vindication of the residents of this area, but also the many users of the Cultural Center." In the mayor's opinion, this work "is very important because it improves the mobility of the entire area, especially for those who go to the Cultural Center."
