The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council has put out to tender the project ‘Accessibility Plaza El Boro. Tres Palmas’ with a budget of €641,271.68 to improve pedestrian mobility and safety around Block Nº2.

The action, financed by the Consorcio de Viviendas del Cabildo de Gran Canaria, aims to provide an accessible route to a building whose current accesses present difficulties for people with reduced mobility. The councilor for the area, Mauricio Roque, explained that the execution period for the works is five months.
Currently, access to Block Nº2 is via stairs, hindering the movement of people with reduced mobility and families with strollers. The intervention includes the construction of an accessible ramp and new stairs connecting the square to the building.
The works will require earthmoving, partial demolition of an existing wall, and the construction of new containment structures. The ramp and stairs will be built with a reinforced concrete slab with a non-slip finish and will incorporate safety railings and handrails adapted to current regulations.
The project also includes landscaping to adapt the level differences with rockery and native vegetation, transplanting existing vegetation, and incorporating succulents. It will be completed with the installation of new energy-efficient lighting to improve illumination and nighttime safety along the route.
