The project is already drafted and plans for two lanes of three metres, seven pedestrian crossings, and the removal of parking spaces except for those for reduced mobility. The investment amounts to €4.6 million and the works would last a year.
The renovation of Victoria Street in Málaga already has a drafted project and an estimated start date: after the upcoming Easter. The action, with a planned investment of €4.6 million, will last for a year, as confirmed by the City Council to the residents and reported by Diario Sur.
The mayor, Francisco de la Torre, along with the councillor for Urbanism, Carmen Casero, and the councillor for the Central District, Francisco Cantos, presented the final proposal to the Victoria Platform, the Victorian Association of Capuchinos and de la Fuente in the last meeting held with the City Council.
The design maintains circulation with two lanes of about three metres wide each. The width of the buses from the Málaga Transport Company, which exceed five million annual users, conditions this measure. To achieve this, the current parking spaces will be removed, although those reserved for people with reduced mobility will be preserved. Loading and unloading areas will be moved to adjacent streets.
The action includes seven pedestrian crossings along the road and a new traffic light at the intersection with Picacho and Coto de Doñana streets. In the final section, next to the San Lázaro temple, the pavement will be widened to gain pedestrian space.
“We are concerned about the speed of circulation. The approximately 500 linear metres of the road can encourage excessive speeds. We request preventive and control measures, as well as sanctioning actions against offenders.”
The Platform has requested to maintain the orange trees on the east sidewalk and to increase their presence on the west, in addition to studying the distribution of trees and green areas to ensure uniformity along the route. Regarding the possibility of moving the streetlights to the facades, residents demand that the City Council coordinate with the homeowners' associations first.
Once the proposed modifications are incorporated, the entity requests that the project be displayed for a week in the Patio de Banderas of the City Council so that residents, merchants, and the public can consult it.
