The drafting of the project and management of the works for the development of plots for park-and-ride parking have been approved by the JGL.

This morning, the Local Government Board (LGB) of Torrevieja City Council awarded the contract for drafting and supervising the works for the development of park-and-ride parking lots to the joint venture OWNplan – JARS. The contract was awarded for €57,952.26 and the project was drafted within one month.

In total, there are six municipally owned plots of land in different parts of the municipality, free of construction, where work is planned to develop them.

Six park-and-ride parking lots will have a total surface area of more than 150,000 m2.

-PARKING 1: Station Avenue – Urbano Arregui Street – Torrevieja Acequión Canal N-332. Approximate surface area 14,573 m2.

-PARKING 2: Barcelona City Street – Acequión Public School – Station Avenue – N-332. Approximate area: 12,789 m2.

-PARKING 3: Parque de las Naciones Residential Complex – N-332. Approximate area: 11,350 m2.

-PARKING 4: Ramón del Valle Inclán Avenue – Torreta – José María de Pereda Street – Emilia Pardo Bazán Street. Approximate surface area: 7,102 m2.

-PARKING 5: Juan Valera Street – CV-905 – Rosa Mazón Valero Avenue. 15,315 m2.

-PARKING 6: Avenida Delfina Viudes – n-332 (Antonio Soria Park – Torrevieja Weekly Market). Approximate area: 92,397 m2.

Given the growing demand from residents and tourists for more parking spaces in the Torrevieja urban area, it is necessary to use municipally owned land, free of buildings, for temporary park-and-ride parking. This will contribute to greater participation in more efficient modes of transport (public transport, shared mobility, high-occupancy vehicles) and active mobility through walking and cycling, as well as reducing the occupation of public space by private vehicles on roads and traffic lanes, in addition to reducing air pollution levels, improving air quality and public health.
