Further pedestrian zones with more meeting points and with more wooded areas. It is the basis of the comprehensive reform project that is to be undertaken in El Coso, as well as in the Plaza de San Miguel, and which will connect with the Paseo de la Independencia in the Aragonese capital.
The project contemplates making a comprehensive reform of these areas of Zaragoza –El Coso and Plaza San Miguel-, for which action will be taken in more than 15,700 square meters and with a budget of around 9 million of euros, according to the data provided by the Zaragoza City Council, which has now shared this initiative with the neighborhood network to collect contributions and complete its definition.
The expected execution period is one year and a half approximately and other actions are also included such as the renovation of the pipe network due to the breaks that are occurring, as well as the lighting network to incorporate led technology.
According to the project, El Coso will become a natural extension of Paseo de la Independencia. In addition, a tree-lined axis will be included, which will gain space for pedestrians and will give way to a renovated Plaza San Miguel in which there will also be more green areas and meeting points.
The specific actions in El Coso have taken into account the particularities of this irregular route, which ranges between 30 meters wide in the Plaza de España area and 17.6 meters in the narrowest part. The objective is widen sidewalks, but with a variable width, apart from boosting the accessibilitycreate a green corridor with trees and flower beds and incorporate benches and fountains in areas where the width allows the installation of these furniture elements.
This corridor will connect with the new Plaza San Miguel. In this enclave, the project includes the elimination of the current islands and the displacement of the road. This will give way to a larger continuous plaza with trees, green areas and space for other uses such as, for example, some element of play. This action will continue along San Miguel Street, along the front of the church, creating a unique platform that will join the existing one on the rest of this street.
Regarding circulation, the project includes one lane in each direction. For his part, the bike lane It will continue next to the north sidewalk, although it will be widened to gain safety.
While the execution work on this comprehensive reform project lasts, mobility will be reorganized. At the moment, the City Council is contemplating the creation of a bus lane up from the banks of the Ebro along the Coso Bajo.
