Puerto del Rosario repairs sidewalks and fixes three Playa Blanca streets

Investment of €33,000 under the “Un Puerto Inclusivo” plan, focusing on fixing sidewalks and defects on Chirate, Tedera and Moralillo streets in the Playa Blanca neighbourhood.

The Puerto del Rosario City Council announced the latest actions of the “Un Puerto Inclusivo” programme, which has launched works to refurbish the sidewalks on Chirate, Tedera and Moralillo streets in the Playa Blanca district.

The council considers the intervention essential to improve pedestrian accessibility and safety in an area with heavy daily foot traffic. The works will restore continuity to the existing sidewalks and make them fully accessible, as they currently suffer significant deterioration, with numerous holes and impassable sections that pose a real risk of falls. Residents have repeatedly complained about the poor condition of these public spaces.

“This intervention responds to a clear demand from the neighbours of Playa Blanca. We are dealing with sidewalks that did not meet safety standards,” said Mayor David de Vera in an official statement.
“Improving pedestrian spaces means improving quality of life, especially for the elderly, families and people with reduced mobility.”

“It is not just about renewing pavement; it is about guaranteeing accessible, continuous, obstacle‑free routes that are safe and designed for everyone,” explained Toñi Fdez. Aragón, Councillor for Accessibility and Mobility.
“These works are fundamental to progress toward a more comfortable municipality where walking does not entail risk.”

The project has a budget of €33,423.06 (excluding IGIC), amounting to a total of €35,762.68, and has been awarded to the company Xizdecor S.L.. This type of intervention is part of a progressive plan to improve sidewalks and pedestrian areas across various neighbourhoods, taking into account both technical criteria and citizens’ needs.

The City Council asks residents to be patient and understanding while the works are carried out, apologising for any inconvenience that may arise.

“We know the works cause temporary discomfort, but they are necessary to achieve safe and accessible sidewalks designed for everyday use by the entire community,” concluded Councillor Toñi Fdez. Aragón.
