The City Council is studying improvements to the traffic management in Rincón de Loix at the suggestion of the residents

Benidorm City Council will analyse potential improvements to traffic flow on some streets in Rincón de Loix neighbourhood following proposals received from residents. This was announced today by the Councillor for Mobility and Urban Scene, Francis Muñoz, at the conclusion of the "A pie de calle" campaign, which took place in this area of ​​the city.

Also present with the Councillor for Mobility were the Councillor for Citizenship Participation, Ana Pellicer, and the Councillor for Street Cleaning, Luis Navarro, as well as several City Hall experts. Representing the residents were the Vice President of the Neighbourhood Council, Antonio Zamora, and about twenty residents of Rincón de Loix, in what was described as a "very productive" meeting.

The main suggestions provided by the residents were related to traffic flow. Thus, they have requested a reorganisation of traffic flow on Oslo Street, which will be "analysed and evaluated" by municipal technicians, according to Muñoz, and also measures to reduce speed on Montecarlo and Estocolmo Streets. Specifically, they have asked that the speed bumps on the latter street "extend into the parking area, since that space is what drivers use to avoid the speed bump."

They have also suggested creating a sheltered area for children leaving sports practice "to improve road safety" on Zamora Street. Furthermore, on Munich Street, they have proposed the construction of a turning lane to improve visibility and facilitate vehicle turns. They have also inquired about a bus stop on París Street that is listed on the platform, but which "apparently no longer stops there and is in demand by users, especially senior citizens."

Regarding street cleaning, residents pointed out that some litter bins are damaged and requested their replacement to restore their usability and improve the neighbourhood's appearance, as well as increasing their number if possible.

On another note, the Councillor for Citizenship Participation, Ana Pellicer, reminded the residents present that the self-regulation for this year's participatory budget has already been approved and encouraged them "to submit the proposals they deem most appropriate and suitable for improving the neighbourhood and the city, as this is the best way to address the demands they bring to our attention." Pellicer emphasised that the City Council allocates 5% of the investment budget to implement the projects that receive the most votes in the participatory budget. Finally, the council members expressed their gratitude for "the large number of residents present at today's visit, as it demonstrates their concern for improving their neighbourhood."
