The Governing Board entrusts Urbamusa with drafting the San Andrés Green Corridor project, which will semi-pedestrianize the axis to the Salzillo Museum and which must be executed before next July
With one lane in each direction. This is how a good part of Juan de la Cierva street will look, except for the last section between the traffic lights at the intersection with Pintor Sobejano, in which the exit lanes will increase to two. That is what is established in the document prepared as the basis for the final design of the new San Andrés green corridor, which is financed by Next Generation funds with almost one million euros and must be completed before July 2023. To comply with deadlines, the Governing Board commissioned this Friday to the Urbanizadora Municipal (Urbamusa) the drafting of the final basic and execution project, for an amount of 97,225 euros.
The public company will thus be in charge of carrying out the specific technical and economic definition of the actions necessary to remodel and semi-pedestrianize the roads that make up the axis between the Malecón garden and the Salzillo Museum, but it must do so according to some basic conditions that have been set thanks to the contributions of the neighbors, which have meant modifications to the initial approach.
The intervention will take place in the streets and avenues that form the backbone of the neighborhoods of San Antolín and San Andrés, including Juan de la Cierva and García Alix up to the Plaza de San Agustin. The pacification of traffic in this environment will not only come from the hand of the reduction of lanes for road traffic, but also thanks to the elevation, throughout the route of these, of the grade of the pavement, by means of textured printed agglomerate, leaving the entire road at the same level. However, there will be a clear differentiation between what is the road and the sidewalk, since metal separation bollards will be installed between both elements, to protect the pedestrian.
On the other hand, while García Álix will maintain the existing widths -possibly thinking of the bus entrance to the station-, in Juan de la Cierva an extension of the sidewalk of about five meters wide will be undertaken on the side of the road in the which is the church of San Antolín and about a meter and a half on the opposite side of the street. This gain for the pedestrian will be smaller in the last section, the one that runs between Cristo del Perdón and Pintor Sobejano streets, where the sidewalk will gain two meters on the first side and another meter on the opposite. The traffic lanes will have a width of about three meters. Likewise, the space gained from the motor vehicle will serve to place planters in which to plant trees and shrubby plants, which allow the improvement of biodiversity in the urban environment.
In addition, the equipment will be improved throughout the axis with the renovation of lighting and urban furniture, as well as the implementation of shading with photovoltaic energy production and the installation of intelligent public bike racks and bicycle rental points . Also, six containers will be buried and identifiers will be installed on the road of the route of the museums of Murcia.
“The objective will be to use the action area as a space for leisure, pedestrian circulation and transport traffic in a friendly environment of total universal accessibility, generating a semi-pedestrianization and including the creation of landscaped areas that will prevent the formation of heat islands,” they concluded. municipal sources.
