Movilidad inicia el lunes una operación para mejorar el asfalto en cinco calles de La Cala y crear un aparcamiento disuasorio

Benidorm City Council will start this Monday, May 21, an operation to improve the paving of five streets in the neighborhood of La Cala and to create a park-and-ride parking facility for more than 40 vehicles, as reported by the councilor of Mobility, José Ramón González de Zárate.

De Zárate indicated that this action, valued at 59,732.80 euros, "will last until Friday, May 25 and will focus on the northern area of ​​the neighborhood, which presents a remarkable intensity of traffic and in which asphalt paving it is quite deteriorated, being able to adversely affect road safety ".

Specifically, it will act on a 3,345-square-meter stretch of Benissa Street, which runs between the health center and Villajoyosa Avenue. In addition, the layer of the surface of  the road of El Murtal public school access will be improved; and then at the intersection of Denia Street and Calpe Avenue, where two pedestrian crossings are located that are partially damaged. The installation of five speed reducers in Oviedo Street is also planned.

The councilor stressed that "following the philosophy of the Sustainable Parking Plan (PES) this municipal action includes the creation of a parking deterrent in a site owned by La Marina Alta Avenue," which will allow to "have more parking spaces in the neighborhood for next summer and that will reduce the intensity of traffic on the streets closest to our Poniente beach. "

This parking will have 1,400 square meters and, although the asphalting works will not start until Monday, during this week the clearing and leveling of the plot has already been carried out. Parallel to the creation of this car park has been chosen to pave the section of La Marina Alta Avenue that runs from this point to Marina Baixa Avenue.

Moreover on Tuesday 22 is scheduled to start the paving works on Juan Antonio Baldoví Street, on the stretch between Villajoyosa Avenue and Langreo Street, including the entrance to the car park of the social center.

De Zárate explained that these improvement works "are going to involve punctual cuts of traffic in the streets included in this operation of asphalt, as well as the prohibition to park in them". However, "vehicles will be allowed to enter Juan Antonio Baldoví and Benissa from Villajoyosa Avenue to avoid possible collapses on this road and to minimize the mobility problems in the area."
