The City Council has picked up the gauntlet thrown by the Ceclor employer's association and is willing to call a contest of ideas to define the use of the land that was previously occupied by the train tracks and that will be freed up with the project to bury the railway. The president of the Regional Confederation of Businessmen, Juan Jódar, proposed last week to the City Council that it call “a serious and rigorous competition of ideas” to project the regeneration of those 3.2-kilometer-long lands that cross the urban area of a end to end to “sew up the scar” that the railway has caused in the city during its history.
The mayor, Fulgencio Gil, assured this Tuesday that the proposal “fully coincides with the approach that we have always defended” due to the “usefulness and benefit” it would have for the people of Lorca. According to the councilor, this is one of the issues that he wants to address with the representatives of the Ministry of Transport and Mobility and with the Railway Infrastructure Administrator (Adif) since the beginning of the corporate mandate, more than six months ago, but, despite having requested a meeting half a dozen times, has so far received no response.
“We want to move forward” in this project, but, to do so, “we need to know what type of facilities, uses, works and adaptations will be allowed.” Gil will once again demand an “urgent” meeting with Adif to “know the keys” with which to design a modern, multipurpose space that decisively contributes to accentuating the natural profile of the city through an urban green corridor, with large areas of leisure, recreation and family recreation. The Consistory assumes that garden areas with large trees or other elements that “may be an inconvenience for burial” cannot be included.
Among the pending issues is providing a solution to the passage of the Mediterranean Corridor through the district of Tercia
Another of the issues pending resolution by Adif is the construction of the Mediterranean Corridor as it passes through the district of Tercia, whose works have been paralyzed for more than a month because the Tercia Incomunicada platform refuses to build a wall that prevent their passage. The work has not continued since then in three conflictive points, at the height of the Pina, Churra and Olmillos roads, after the intercession of the PSOE to find an alternative solution to the project that avoids the isolation of the neighbors.
The City Council is also waiting for confirmation from Adif that the viaducts will be built that will allow the foreseeable floods of water to be absorbed in the Lorca-Pulpí section to meet the requirements of the Segura Hydrographic Confederation. In Almendricos, he hopes to learn about the improvement of the project to prevent a dirt slope from being raised at the entrance of the district.
