Benidorm improves the cleanliness and safety in Rincón de Loix with a new park and ride on Bernat de Sarrià avenue

Benidorm will shortly have a new park and ride in Rincón de Loix, this time on a plot located next to the Pueblo market street, on Bernat de Sarrià Avenue, thanks to various agreements signed by the City Council and the landowner whose purpose is to is to convert such plot into parking for vehicles, as has already been done in other parts of the city.

The mayor Toni Pérez and the Councilor for Urban Scene and Mobility, José Ramón González de Zárate, visited this morning the area where the first works to clean up the land have already begun.

The plot in question covers an area of 7,067 square meters. The agreements establish that the City Council may use such land as park-and-ride until the Ensanche Levante urban sector is developed, although they can be extended if both parties so wish.

Toni Pérez indicated that the objective of this action is "to add new free parking spaces, but also to improve cleanliness and improve the area's ornamentation". For this reason, he said "we created this new parking area and we will also improve public lighting." All of this, added to the expansion of the existing pedestrian strip "will provide greater safety for pedestrians."

The City Council is proceeding with the conditioning of the plot, which will be provided with an access ford, public lighting to avoid shady or dimly lit areas, as well as monitoring to avoid dumping debris and waste.

"In this way, we continue to expand our offer of dissuasive places in the main accesses to the city, both in the West and in the East, thus improving our urban mobility", the mayor specified at the end of the visit.

Pérez remarked that the city "already has more than 7,000 free and free spaces in nearly 40 park-and-rides distributed throughout the city, which attests to our commitment to constantly improving mobility, giving priority to pedestrians and that drivers find the maximum facilities to park their vehicle”. The mayor has shown, in this sense, his certainty that "no destination offers this volume of dissuasive places."
