The councilors of Works and Services, Juan Cabrera, of Urbanism, David Alberto, and of Tourism, Kristina Rodewig, attended the signing of the handover.
A project initiated in the last legislature, says the mayor, that we managed to finalize with a new contract, resulting in this reception of improvement and beautification of the pedestrian Orchilla in its section III, executed by the City of Antigua with municipal funding of 594,000 euros.
Caleta de Fuste adds in the pedestrian Orchilla a new playground with play modules on rubber flooring, in a protected area, delimited and illuminated with street lighting whose network of new street lighting is extended throughout the street.
The new Orchilla pedestrian walkway offers shaded garden areas for leisure and rest, incorporating modern street furniture, insertion of trees and grass areas with ficus and bougainvillea, completing the paving of the pedestrian walkway where it meets Picasso and Virgen de la Peña streets.
The pedestrian walkway eliminates urban barriers, such as stairs or curbs, improving accessibility both in the width of the steps and in the material used that differentiates the passage of any pedestrian or person with reduced mobility, marking the different areas they pass through.
