Municipal Pact for Mobility: Xàbia will work to improve sustainable mobility, public transport and security

30 June 2020 - 08: 38

Xàbia held, on Monday morning, the ordinary plenary session corresponding to the month of June in person, after four months, carried out through telematic channels.

In this plenary session, all the political forces have unanimously approved the items on the agenda, among which the Municipal Pact for Mobility stood out. This point focuses on the final planning for traffic in the first Montañar that includes a coastal walk and evaluate its condition on Avenida Augusta and Carretera del Plá.

Specifically, this pact includes nine measures that promote sustainable mobility and are in line with improving road safety, sustainable individual mobility or the promotion of a regional association of public transport.

At the moment, some proposals improvement have already been start-ups such as: pedestrianization in the surroundings of the Municipal Market, spaces for pedestrians at the entrances to the Paseo del Tenista David Ferrer, In the Arenal Beach and the limitation of traffic to a single direction in the First Montañar.

From now on, the municipal corporation as a whole will work to:

  • Hire and develop a mobility plan
  • Technically study the alternatives for improving road and pedestrian safety on the new traffic management in the First Montañar.
  • Convene technical meetings with the departments of Citizen Security and Public Roads to assess the impact on traffic on Avenida Augusta and Carretera del Plan derived from the pedestrianization of the Avenida del Mediterráneo road with Arenal direction.
  • Promote the definitive project for a coastal walk in the First Montañar
  • Convene the Municipal Town Planning Council to deal with the affectation, solutions and alternatives of sustainable mobility in Xàbia.
  • Study the creation of dissuasive parking areas at strategic points in the municipality, including the necessary spaces for bikes and motorcycles.
  • Study the prioritization formulas of sustainable individual mobility for our municipality and develop the necessary ordinances and infrastructures because they can be carried out with security guarantees for both VTP and pedestrian users.
  • Propose in the municipalities of the region the study of the creation of a public transport association.
  • Work within the PGE review that new developments prioritize and facilitate sustainable mobility.

    Who has thought of vetoing all the streets that lead to the David Ferrer promenade? They do not think about the number of people who have to travel to the beach by car given the extension of Javea. Gentlemen each time do a new task and worsening the bad that they have already done in recent years. Shameful what they are doing instead of giving facilities, see the example of parking also on the first mountain.

      You are absolutely right, each time they make things worse and mobility facilities, nothing. They don't think, apparently, of older people, they don't think of people with mobility problems, be they old or young and, honestly, in my opinion (which is worth nothing, but it will bother many), I think they simply don't think . Thinking is very tiring ...

    The traffic cut in the Arenal-Puerto lane on Avda. Del Mediterráneo is, and I am sorry to say so clearly, a real outrage. It is good that parking is not allowed in the entire area, since parked cars are unsightly and force pedestrians moving in that direction to be avoiding them if they want to go by the side closest to the sea. But that is very easy to solve, without the need to cut any lane, since that cut complicates circulation and eliminates bus stops from Arenal to the Port, leaving the residents in all that extension completely isolated. Just put up a wooden barrier, which is very cute, or of another type, less cute, but perhaps more practical, along that lane, to prevent cars from parking. And fix the area that used to park, currently dirt, so that pedestrians can walk through it comfortably. There is plenty of room, even for a bike path, if things are done thinking carefully. Although it seems that here the system is to do a work and then undo it and redo it again, as has happened several times. I know that they will not listen to me, but I beg you to think things over, both the City Council and the opposition, since, as I say, the solution is easy and cheap.
