Recently, the City Council of Roquetas De Mar put out to tender the contract for the drafting of a car parking project in Playa Serena Urbanization that has a capacity of 800 spaces. This project was one that Consistory attempted to finance using Next Generation funds from European Union. However, it has not received a subsidy like the three other projects presented by the municipality in the call for assistance for decarbonization.
The project will be built on two municipal plots measuring approximately 11,000 square metres. They are located in front Pueblo Canario on the Paseo del Golf. It is very close to Playa Serena Golf Club. The municipal intention was to construct it in the green space between Avenida de Playa Serena & Paseo Central. This is where most of the hotels in Playa Serena were located. The opposition raised doubts about the “dissuasiveness” of the action. This was the reason for the call for assistance. The mayor changed the location of the action during the plenary debate and committed to connecting the hotels by buses in order to make it more compatible with the “dissuasive concept” that will be given.
The municipality applied for European subsidies despite not having a definitive plan drawn up. It did so on the basis of a 2007 project that was never completed. This was to address the issue of no parking in the touristic areas of the city. city. This was done by a planned investment of 14 millions euros, of which 4.4 would be paid by EU. The city will assume this amount unless another call is made.
The winning team must design 800 spaces in a car park with dimensions of 5×2.50m (3.60×5 for spaces for people with reduced mobility) with a minimum height at 2.60m. It must have two charging points for electric cars, scooters, and bicycles, in order to have them all, at least initially.
It was also necessary to consider the use of low-energy consumption elements such as lighting, air conditioning, and ventilation. It is also possible to install sensors that can detect free spaces and routes within the car park. This will help reduce unnecessary vehicle movements, while making it more efficient.
The architects responsible for the drafting will design a parking lot that will, in principle, have floors and more space than the spaces projected next to the hotels.
The contract is for works management, health and safety coordination work. It has a budget of 332,029 euro including taxes.
