Seville City Council has already invested over 1.6 million euros in the area of Prado de San Sebastián. The network renewal works on Ciudad de Ronda street are progressing without cutting off supply to residents.
The works to renew the supply and sanitation networks on Ciudad de Ronda street, in Prado de San Sebastián, are advancing well. Seville City Council, through Emasesa, has allocated 597,094 euros to these works, which began on June 8 and have a four-month execution period.
Residents in the area have not experienced water cuts thanks to the installation of auxiliary networks. The delegate for Urbanism and Emasesa councillor, Juan de la Rosa, has highlighted that these works "represent a firm commitment to modernising infrastructure that has not been renewed for decades."
Two phases to minimise inconvenience
To reduce the impact on the daily lives of residents and businesses, the project has been divided into two phases. In the first phase, already underway, work is being carried out on Ciudad de Ronda street, which remains closed to traffic. However, Infante don Carlos de Borbón and Infanta Luisa de Orleans streets remain open.
In the second phase, the supply network will be installed on those two streets, which will be closed to traffic, while Ciudad de Ronda will be operational again. At all times, pedestrian walkways have been established to ensure access to homes and businesses.
Over 1.6 million in improvements in the area
These works are in addition to other initiatives promoted by José Luis Sanz's government in the past year in Prado de San Sebastián, with a total investment of 1,618,290 euros. The most notable is the City of Children, a new themed playground that has already completed its first phase.
With a budget of 921,196 euros, the park covers 1,164 square metres and is themed around the festive identity of Seville: the old Fair Walkway, the booths, and Holy Week. Its central element is a structure inspired by the historic Fair Walkway, which was the entrance to the April Fair between 1896 and 1921, measuring 34 by 34 metres and 15 metres in maximum height.
The space incorporates play areas at height, at ground level, accessible routes, and zones for different ages. Additionally, 16 hibiscus specimens have been planted to provide natural shade. The City of Children will have three more phases to complete the transformation of this children's area.
The pavements of Fernando Villalón and Antonio Cortés Lladó streets, key arteries between the Porvenir, Huerta de la Salud, and San Bernardo neighbourhoods, have also been renewed, with an investment of 100,000 euros. The pavements, which were decades old, had defects that made passage difficult, especially for the elderly and those with reduced mobility.
Furthermore, at the request of residents, the City Council incorporated new streets around Avenida de Portugal and Diego de Riaño into the regulated parking service (GES) in January, responding to a long-standing demand.
Juan de la Rosa emphasised that "the government of José Luis Sanz continues to work to ensure that the necessary works in the city are carried out with maximum guarantees and with the least possible impact on the daily lives of residents and businesses in the area."
The works on Ciudad de Ronda are expected to conclude in October, leaving modern infrastructure and a more pleasant environment for the people of Seville.
