At the plenary session in April 2009, raised a motion in which we asked to further explore the project that was intended to run and to be taken into consideration all the arguments and proposals that will eventually be presented.
For our part, inter alia, emphasized the following:
The style and treatment that seeks to understand it is not appropriate to the environment, ie the Plaza de San Juan de la Cruz, the two churches and the Temple itself.
The furniture to be introduced is not consistent with this space.
Should be considered a more traditional style on the banks and also avoid the sobriety of the floor, somehow maintaining the vision and nature walks.
The lighting that stands out is the type mark, while lacking the placement of classic style lamps cast foot (such as the Plaza del Arco).
The modification of the gradient of the central promenade, is a recess of the current level of about 50 - 70 cms. For this reason they may be affected trees would be removed as part of the roots, something that will be studied in detail.
It also should be collected conveniently rainfall runoff to prevent it affecting the Church and Convent of Carmen and adjacent dwellings.
It is not clear what the new management of traffic on the slide, and parking areas.
Any items that serve as traffic separation for pedestrian safety.
However, from the Socialist ranks to say that although we try to take into account some aspects have not been involved the outcome of it, or decisions on the go has been taken over its implementation.
We regret the shortcomings first project since its inception, as not to take any study of trees, rainwater collection, elements of traffic separation schemes, traffic study, etc., issues that have been facing during construction in some cases quite improvisational acting and other modifying what has already been done.
Among the major issues with which we now mention the following:
Basalt was replaced by a project referred to in dark limestone bit less resistant and suitable for outdoor use.
It is not clear that this material has adequate strength for the movement which in any case will have to endure at least next to the Temple and San Juan de la Cruz.
For this reason it has been left by the time a piece without putting together the Temple.
We wonder why this was not studied before ordering this material.
This limestone has a tendency to wear that makes you lose grip on what you have to deal with anti-slip products periodically.
Diagonal steel strips are an added element of risk of slipping to the passer and does nothing to help aesthetically.
Not know which will be the final furniture, as banks are horrible project.
Nor do we know which are the elements of traffic separation schemes for safety of children and strollers.
The lighting project has not according to the environment as can be with forged or cast iron lampposts.
Going to take five simple column of 9 m, with four projectors each, so it looks more like a lighting of a space journey that this is emblematic.
The height of 9 m is excessive for the presence of trees, which will cast shadows that when covering it with branches and leaves.
The step in front of the Iglesia de la Concepción has a very narrow track width which makes it uncomfortable and not visible from it.
The circular plate type Basins have been placed on large trees, extend more than 30 cm above the floor.
This is one of the quick fixes that have been taken to keep your feet from the trees.
If this is not an auction puts you right on the edge, can be a danger to any decline, especially children, and unsightly ..
Finally, it was decided the solution that will give you traffic and has not commissioned a traffic study to address this issue.
Therefore, it is unknown if the double meaning will remain next to Carmen, but preliminary indications suggest that you opt for a one-way, but we believe to be two-way permit.
It is not known either if the traffic along the Concepcion is going to continue as before, and if he will return to this place the weekly market.
The view we are picking up is the concern of many people who did not finish like this treatment sober, simple, impersonal and without knowing how it will be all this concern we share.
Therefore ask that an explanation and possible solution in these issues in plenary on Thursday 25 March.
