Alicia Morales states that "we should act in the whole avenue, from the Round, not only from Jaime I, and with correct criteria of pedestrianization"
Now Murcia proposes, in addition, that the traffic circulates by the causeway East, instead of the West, as it raises the PP
NOW MURCIA denounces that the project of PP for Alfonso X the Wise is not of pedestrianization of the avenue, "but an extension of the Plaza Santo Domingo".
In the allegations and alternative proposal registered by the municipal training, it is pointed out that "it is intended to convert the Santo Domingo-Jaime I section into a pseudo-square, continuation of Santo Domingo, with similar design and treatment of materials and pavement."
The councilor and spokesman of Now Murcia, Alicia Morales, states that "it should act in the whole avenue, from the Round, not only from Jaime I, and with correct criteria of pedestrianization."
The municipal group also proposes that the road traffic circulates along the East road, instead of the West, as proposed by the PP: "Much of the pedestrian traffic and the terraces of bars runs precisely on the west side, That it seems more convenient that the road circulation should be projected along the east road. "
Morales points out that "the concept of PP for this project is not of pedestrianization, but of a square, filling the way of terraces and elements.
Ballesta and its councilors should travel more and see how pedestrianized in other Spanish and European cities.
Because what they propose does not fulfill the primary objectives of a pedestrianization, such as the pacification of traffic and that the pedestrian is the real protagonist.
The PP aims to create a leisure area, and that should have a different name than 'pedestrianizing'.
The mayor stresses that "Alfonso X is a linear walk for its morphology and trees, and its interpretation as a different element, as is the case of the municipal project, which will separate it into two parts (pedestrianized from Jaime I to Santo Domingo but Without peatonalizar from Jaime I to the Round), is a mistake in what to the urbanism and the public spaces is concerned.
In fact it is a walk between the Round and Santo Domingo, and that is what must be strengthened, making a complete pedestrianization, not a section now but without fixing the rest how or when it will be done.
Any project that is proposed must be complete between both places, because it is a unique space, an intervention unit, although it can be developed in phases or stages. "
Morales also states that the traffic studies conducted by the City Council only indicate the passing cars, "but they do not serve to elaborate a pedestrianization project if they are not disaggregated according to origin and destination, that is, how many vehicles circulate looking for Private or public car parks;
How many vehicles are going by;
How many are loading and unloading, etc.
If none of this is said in traffic studies, there is a lack of information to develop the project. "
The alternative proposal registered by Now Murcia indicates that the unique direction of circulation is established from the Merced to Gran Vía through c /.
Enrique Villar-Plaza Santo Domingo-c /.
Santa Clara-c /.
Master Alonso.
This would give access to residents to such streets, Romea Square, Las Anas building and school Jesús María without having to access the west carriageway of Alfonso X.
It is also proposed that the one-way traffic for the exclusive use of residents, public service and bicycle lane should be on the east side of the avenue, from Romea Square to Gutiérrez Mellado, with the possible extension to Round.
This reduces the minimum traffic for access to garages from the West to the East Zone, which would be practically pedestrianized, also taking into account that the commercial premises and bars in the East Zone are set back on Alfonso X and No need to occupy road or sidewalks.
It would also avoid having to cross the central boulevard and cut trees.
The extension to the Round would have similar considerations and characteristics.
Morales emphasizes that the only problem that would arise would be access to the parking lot of Captesa and Las Claras: "In the first case would be solved if the ramp access to garage existing on Calle Carlos III from Jaime I was enabled and the Access by Alfonso X, and in the second case the frequency of access to Las Claras is insignificant and compatible with the pedestrian.
As for the section of the West zone between the crossing of Alfonso X and the Round, according to the alternative proposal of Now Murcia, can be pedestrianized in its entirety or up c /.
Lepanto for no bondage.
Access to ac /.
Lepanto and Plaza Preciosa can be suppressed as there are alternative accesses from Avenida de la Constitución.
