Manuel Murguía's new pavement will reach other streets

The cobblestone began to take over the historic center of Cambados decades ago.All urbanization and semi -atonization works that were executed in streets and squares responded to a homogeneous aesthetic that goes through paving the lane for the circulation of vehicles with cobblestones and sidewalks, with granite slab.Since the whole firm is at the same level and that the sidewalks are used many times as parking, this causes pedestrians, people with reduced mobility and wheelchairs and wheelchairs are forced to travel through the road, with discomfortwhich means doing it on an irregular platform.

In the City Council they want to end this "martyrdom" and this is collected by the Sosible Mobility Plan (PMS), so that all works that are executed from now on will win in accessibility.

This has already been done on Manuel Murguía Street (Fefiñáns) and will be done, shortly, in Bimbio and in the Calexón do Río.The conventional cobblestone was replaced by another of a smooth face, which facilitates traffic on wheels.And it will also help women who wear heel shoes, because although a minor theme seems like, the cobblestones are a serious problem.

The Councilor for Works and Servizos, Samuel Lago, acknowledges that he had never repaired it until he began receiving complaints from neighbors who have to balances when they walk through the historic center, exposing themselves to a fall and to get home with the tips of the tips of theshattered heels.

The new pavement model is more expensive, although, for now, the City Council has not meant an extra cost.In the urbanization of Manuel Murguía it has been assumed by the construction company, which offered it as an improvement in the process of tender for the work.In principle, only the pavement was going to be changed, "but as they could be able to be washed in the face of Rúa," explains councilman Samuel Lago, took advantage of the fact that the firm was raised to open ditches and install new pipelines for the supply of drinking waterand of sanitation.The budget is 57.000 euros and the works are about to conclude.
