La redacció del projecte de Carles Buïgas, a licitació
D’altra banda, el govern ja ha posat a licitació la contractació del servei de redacció del projecte bàsic i executiu de les obres de renovació integral del carrer Carles Buïgas i voltants. L'àmbit d'actuació compren la totalitat d’urbanització del carrer Carles Buïgas, entre el carrer Torremolinos i el carrer Saragossa, amb una longitud aproximada de 1.040 m. lineals i uns 16.880 m2 de superfície, i els trams dels carrers que hi conflueixen en aquest: els carrers Terol, Murillo, Pau Vila, Priorat, Fra Juniper Serra, Pompeu Fabra, Torremolinos, Vendrell, Ramon Llull, Valls, Amposta, Montblanc, Passatge Dr. Pigem i Bilbao. Aquests carrers suposen una superfície de 13.400 m2 que, sumats als 16.880 del carrer Carles Buïgas, comporten una superfície total aproximada a urbanitzar de 30.280 m2. El proper mes de gener s’obriran les ofertes per adjudicar la redacció del projecte, valorat en més de 3ME.
L’alcalde ha assenyalat que “convertirem aquest carrer en un passeig amb una renovació de tota la zona, amb una millora importantíssima i un valor afegit pel nostre comerç, les activitats i els veïns/es i visitants que el trepitgen”, deia. Aquest projecte es previst que es dugui a terme passat l’estiu del 2019.
En aquest sentit, cal recordar que el govern va portar a terme durant l’any 2017 una prova pilot de conversió en zona de vianants d’un tram del carrer Carles Buïgas, entre el carrer Murillo i el carrer Saragossa. Com diu el seu títol era una prova pilot pendent de redactar el projecte definitiu de reurbanització del carrer, una vegada analitzada l’actuació de prova i haver obtingut l’informació necessària per redactar una proposta de futur. La prova pilot ha comportat un bon grau de satisfacció pel que fa a la transformació en zona de vianants. A més de zona de vianants, és voluntat municipal implantar un model d’urbanització que aporti valors afegits a la zona, que millori la imatge urbana, que satisfaci les necessitats dels residents, que millori el seu atractiu en vistes als comerços, restaurants i altres activitats existents i que en definitiva faci a l’àmbit un dels referents de l’activitat turístic comercial del municipi.
