| Work Detail |
The City Council of Tarragona has awarded the contract for the improvement work of the Plaça dels Infants, in the Port district, to the Spanish company URBASER SA, for a total price of 48,322.77 euros, VAT included.
The intervention involves the planting of six palm trees of the Phoenis canariensis species and several units of Jacaranda mimosifodia , with the aim of providing shaded areas to the playground. This urban space covers an area of ??2,400 square meters and is considered a cold square. In addition to the plantation, the project also involves improving security, with the construction of a wooden fence in the playground.
In a statement to the media, the Port Neighborhood Association considered the project to reform the square "inadequate", according to the president of the entity, Carme Puig. Puig said that "it is normal for the bad palm trees to recover, but we want something more." "Its a drawer," he remarked. The president of the neighborhood entity added that "we want a more comprehensive reform" and that the actions of the council are not limited to a project that was presented in the first edition of the Participatory Budgets.
Puig did not just rate the project of the Plaça dels Infants, one of the busiest spaces in the neighborhood. The president of the association also criticized that "the Plaza de los Carros also hurts and they should do something to have a better one."
In a meeting with the Councilor for Territory of the City Council, Xavi Puig, the president of the association told him that the 2020 municipal budgets should include actions that were at least the basic ones, although from the neighborhood entity ask for a comprehensive plan for the neighborhood.
Puig considers "urgent" actions such as solving "the poor condition of the sidewalks of streets like Apodaca, Orosi and Real" and increasing the street lighting of these areas of the city. The situation on the sidewalks is "making it difficult for a person to go to the station with a suitcase to move normally." |
