The seafront of Los Alcázares will change its skin in the coming months. The Los Alcázares City Council will allocate part of the three million euros from the European Tourism Sustainability Funds to improve the municipality's seafront and two traditionally critical points on its coast. On the one hand, the mouth of the La Maraña boulevard. Here, the last meters of its urban section before reaching the Mar Menor will become a space of vegetation capable of absorbing part of the runoff, although it will already be smaller than the avalanches of the last floods, once the Hydrographic Confederation of the Safely channel Muñoz Zambudio Avenue.
As LA VERDAD has learned, it is also planned to improve the aid station that operates in the adjacent Plaza de las Pescaderías. On the south side of the promenade, the City Council has begun negotiations with the Ministry of Defense to condition “the stretch of wild coast that remains in the military zone, between the urban area of Paseo de La Concha to Venta Simón, through a elevated walkway so that the public can see this area where numerous protected species coexist, but without damaging the vegetation,” explains the mayor, Mario Pérez Cervera.
Likewise, one of the main actions of the project is to delimit a bike lane along the five kilometers of the promenade, even in the narrowest sections, where pedestrians will have to share space with cyclists. For the mayor of Los Alcázares, “it makes no sense to ban bikes on the promenade, because it is the most beautiful area of the municipality and people want to enjoy it in this sustainable environment.” The project to remodel the promenade, an old municipal aspiration, is committed to “making use compatible, establishing a bike lane to avoid accidents like those that have already occurred, but we have verified that prohibitions and sanctions achieve nothing.”
The project also foresees the improvement of the aid station that operates in the Plaza de las Pescaderías
On the other hand, the technicians have already started a study on the lighting needs on this seafront, since the City Council plans to put out to tender the replacement of the streetlights with LED screens. This is, for the Alcazareño councilor, “the first and most important thing to improve lighting and save on energy consumption,” he says.
The City Council's forecast is that the works will begin after the summer, to avoid inconvenience to neighbors and visitors in the summer, although the overall project does not have a fixed completion date.
