• Enhanced Accessibility: The inclusion of ramps at road level and special anti-slip materials ensures that pedestrian access is safe and convenient.
• Public Amenities: The addition of benches, waste‌ bins, and a children’s play area enhances ⁢the usability of the space.
• Improved Drainage: special porous concrete ‌in tree pits prevents trash ‍accumulation, ‌contributing to neighborhood ‌cleanliness.

The urban makeover of Avenida Caballero de Rodas from Calle Apolo to María Asunción Square involved a substantial cost of €998,720,inclusive of ⁣VAT. The project coincided with ⁢vital upgrades to the potable water network, ensuring both the infrastructure support and aesthetic enhancements were tackled concurrently.

Looking Ahead
