The social center "José Llorca Linares" gathered yesterday afternoon the 1st Mobility Forum promoted by Benidorm City Hall with the aim of obtaining proposals about mobility and universal accessibility. During the conference opened by the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, the habits and needs of citizens and visitors on their travels around the city were analyzed, information that will allow them to be more efficient when making decisions and develop measures linked to mobility and accessibility.
The mayor stressed during the inauguration of this new space created to promote citizen participation, which so far this year, there have been serious injuries that have needed hospitalization in traffic accidents in Benidorm. The data reinforces the need to continue working so that the mobility plan being developed in Benidorm, becomes the tool to make mobility "more fluid, safer for all and more sustainable".
The creation of this forum was included in the Plan of Sustainable Urban Mobility (PMUS) approved last year being the consultative body perr excellence and in which all associations of Benidorm related to mobility - like taxi drivers and cyclists - , Social entities, business and neighborhood associations, and external and municipal technicians, are involved.
