After the crisis, international works and competitions return to Madrid "to improve the city" following the criteria of "professionals". Ahead, the delegate of Works of the City Council will have the reform of the Plaza de España , the pedestrianization of the Puerta del Sol, the 'asphalt operation', the covering of the M-30 ...
They are preparing the equipment plan for 2020. What is the route that this Government is following? We want an ambitious plan to start the legislature with a budget ahead and a compliance objective. Carmena presented it the month before the elections and half of the 90 teams were not new. The renovation of a swimming pool, changing rooms or a performance in a municipal building will not be included in our facilities. What shortcomings are you observing in the city during the elaboration of that plan? Madrid changed a lot in the first legislature of Alberto Ruiz- Gallardón with a very strong investment and many equipment to fight against territorial imbalance. A lot of work was done, but much remains to be done because the past legislature did nothing. Nacho Murgui himself said that this would be the rebalancing legislature recognizing that nothing was done. We want a plan that bets on the southern and eastern districts. Have they appreciated much difference with the north and the center? To begin with, there are more plots and more possibilities. Some residents of the central almond will say that they have less equipment in their district, but they also have a higher level of income and not so much need because they can go to the private offer more easily. We also have less facility because there are fewer plots. In the south and east there are two characteristics that allow us to act in favor of rebalancing undoubtedly. Are they going to recover projects from the previous legislature? Some continue, like the center of Fúcar, that we are now with the hiring period and We hope it will be awarded shortly. What was good we want to continue, what not, has been paralyzed. I give the example of Plaza de España which is a very good project for the city that we believe we can improve by taking advantage of the remains of the Godoy Palace as another tourist attraction for the city but that we continue with it and the same with many others. example? Plaza de España, Plaza de la Cebada ... These are important projects, but for example the Legazpi market had to be paralyzed because it was unrealizable because they had not maintained the necessary implementation of the flooring so that the building remained firm and consolidated. We have also made changes to the Zofio youth center in Usera. It is not about ending the above, but about preserving the good and doing more for the city because very little was done. Only 12 new equipment is very little and we want to increase that number.After the crisis, is it returning to the Gallardón era? We want Madrid to return to that investment time not only in equipment, but also on asphalting. We want to present in addition to this in March a large asphalt operation in April that we need as eating. And in May do a sidewalk operation and accessibility. There are many complaints about the state of our sidewalks and roads, which are manifestly improvable. In our program we had the commitment to pave in this legislature 3,000 streets of the 9,000 that Madrid has. Is it explained that they are the third area with more budget in 2020? Indeed, because we are very investors and there is much to do. I remember during the previous legislature that the delegate said that he had presented the largest asphalt operation and after almost three years it is not over yet. We want our operation to have a reasonable time. It may not be possible as before in two or three months, but asphalt in four or five; That is our commitment. We will annoy the people of Madrid, but those inconveniences will be compensated with the best preserved city and without so many dangers. It has 53 million to do so, where should you start? Everywhere because we have talked to districts and associations and everyone needs repairs. There I see no differences between north, south or center. Madrid, in general, is poorly preserved. And with the sidewalks the same thing happens? You have to do a specific sidewalk operation as we did with the tunnels. Recall that in January 2018 they closed every day eight or nine because they were fatally preserved and we have already spent 11 million to rehabilitate them. Is the underground of the A-5 the new M-30? That depends on Borja Carabante, we we will cover the M-30, which by an agreement with Atlético de Madrid is paid by them. We hope that at the end of the month they will deliver the project that we will send to the areas and estimate if the agreement is good to take out this year the public tender and start the coverage. What deadlines are they handling? Probably covered by the end of 2021, but there are that waiting to have the project is not going to be that in the end they are two more months. At what point is Plaza de España and when do you plan to inaugurate? We have made changes in the plan for the remains of the Godoy Palace and the work through the Emilio Millas square, then we pass to Ventura Rodríguez and this week Princess, which will end in June. We have managed to ensure that everything continues without excessive delay and has sent the project to the Community to expose the remains to the public. We are waiting for a response so that the tunnel works can be finished as soon as possible due to the damage they cause. In Plaza de España work continues and the delay can be in a month or two. We want to have one of the most important tourist and cultural areas of Madrid in spring or summer of 2021. Because of your contacts, is the Community open to the project? You liked to keep the heritage, but they should say if it seems appropriate or if they want us to make some modification because they are their competencies. You talked about modifying the project. What do they raise? We propose that with the remains you can tell the Madrid of the 18th century, the Royal Palace, the Debod temple, the Sabatini gardens, in short, everything you want from the history of Madrid. You can tell what you want, but that depends on Culture or Tourism. That is, you could also include the Debod temple. You can walk from Plaza de España to the Sabatini gardens, the Debod temple, the Palace Real and even unite it with Madrid Río, which is a project that Madrid people will like very much."We are a very transversal area"
In eight months, the evictions of La Dragona and La Ingobernable, the installation of Christmas lights, the construction of the complex of prefabricated houses for refugees or the adaptation of the Azca tunnels have passed through the Works and Equipments Area. «We do not lack work. We are a very transversal area that is not only there to do works, ”says the delegate. "Help in the evictions was one of the first orders made by the mayor, then came the lights that people did not understand what paints works and then shelter the refugees," he concludes.
