Recently, the Roquetas de Mar City Council approved the remodeling of Avenida de Cerrillos within the Playa Serena Urbanization. This has been a long-pending action in the municipality and was actually one of the electoral promises made by the current government team. The City Council included the Provincial Plans of Works with Provincial Council. This means that the municipality will receive 75 percent of the investment, and the provincial institution 25%.
Remodeling will require a total investment of 1,117,000 Euros and a 10-month execution. The remodeling will cover 9,500 square metres of the artery which separates Playa Serena and Las Marinas. This artery is an important communication route that has gained popularity in recent years due to increasing parking problems in this tourist region.
This remodeling will include the following: the condition of the existing sanitation network, renovation of the supply system, installation of an irrigation network, and installation of public lighting in new green areas. LED lights will also be installed in these open spaces.
Gabriel Amat, the Mayor of Rock, highlighted the importance this project. It aims at improving accessibility to this environment, up to now without any specific use. The goal is to make it an urban park with walking routes. Amat explained, “We want this space to be condition and provide it leisure, sports and biohealthy areas for citizens.”
The mayor also assured that the City Council will prioritize the development of high-quality public spaces, particularly to revitalize and enhance all green areas in the city. This type of remodeling allows us the opportunity to restore green leisure spaces that can serve outdoor sports and activities, and will improve our public spaces.”
