The PSOE takes to the Court of Accounts "the waste" of half a million euros of the PP in the bike lane that must be dismantled in Miguel Indurain (14/12/2017)

The Municipal Group asks who made the decision to build such lane by reducing the number of lanes for cars, why and based on what traffic study and demands political responsibilities to the mayor, while claiming "coherent measures" and "running away from the improvisation "

The spokesperson of the Municipal Socialist Group in the City of Murcia, Susana Hernandez, accompanied by the mayor of the PSOE Enrique Ayuso, has publicly criticized the management of the Consistory in relation to the traffic project on Avenida Miguel Indurain and Kingdom of Murcia, in the that a bicycle lane was built that cost almost half a million, in particular 474,000 euros, and that now must be dismantled to recover on that avenue the third way for the circulation of motor vehicles.

This urban change will be adopted in response to complaints made by drivers given the traffic jams that occur on this road and a new project will be drawn up that will be put out to tender.

This situation, which the PSOE has described as "serious waste", will bring the Socialists to the Court of Auditors the City Council action to investigate whether there has been a crime of public accounts.

"We have thrown half a million euros in the trash or a higher amount, because the 474,000 euros that cost to build the bike lane will have to add the amount of disassembly and the conditioning of the road, as pivots must be eliminated and the traffic lights for cyclists, among other actions ", explained the spokesperson for the Murcian socialists.

"The less we have to purge political responsibilities in this matter, something that Mayor José Ballesta must do as the head of the Governing Board, which is the body in which the decision is made to build this bike lane that has only brought problems We are interested in knowing who made the decision to build it, why and based on what study, as well as knowing who is now taking the decision to eliminate it ", added the PSOE mayor.

The circumstance arises that the work, arranged along seven kilometers in both directions on this road in the northern part of the municipality, was carried out as Lola Sánchez Traffic Councilor, who now no longer assumes these powers.

According to Susana Hernández, "changing competencies is not debugging responsibilities".

"From the PSOE we understand that the waste of public money is intolerable and therefore we have decided to take this waste of half a million euros to the Court of Auditors to determine whether responsibilities can be derived beyond the purely political, because this body of external control of the Administration is the one that must determine whether or not there is a crime within the scope of public accounts. "

Hernandez has also criticized "the hurry and the desire of Ballesta to take the photo at the time with this bike lane, which has led to a fiasco and the waste of money from Murcia and Murcia, then with that half a million euros could do many things "and has given as an example that amount would give to acquire the safety vests that the Local Police of Murcia claims and for which the same councilor Lola Sanchez does not find funding.

For his part, Enrique Ayuso stressed the need for Murcia to have "a network of well-planned bike lanes and keep the vials reserved for the use of cyclists in the municipality in order to favor a sustainable mobility system."

"What we now have is the result of improvisation and what is needed is precisely to take coherent measures and escape from that improvisation," said Ayuso, who has shown a photograph of Miguel Induráin Avenue, where two bicycle lanes are superimposed. , one built by the City Council and another executed as a partial plan development of the area.
