Start improving the access to the natural environment of Cap de Salou

Salou. Costa Dorada. 20 February 2018. The rebuilding works of the green areas of the Cap de Salou, which include the improvement of the access passage and the public areas of this urban park, have been triggered. The works include an alternative path for people with disabilities in order to avoid the two existing stretches of scale with the intention of promoting their use.

Nowadays, there is already a public passage that consists of a concrete concrete floor and steps with stone and concrete, which was carried out over the 70s. Since that time, no more than small Arrangements and specific actions so that the state of it presented an image that had to be corrected.

The mayor of Salou, Pere Granados, together with Town Planning Councilor, Marc Montagut, and City Councilor for Maintenance, Maria José Rodríguez, visited the works that were started this past week to reorder the zone around the Oromar Passage and to Cala Vinya, as well as the recovery of the environmental heritage and the improvement of the public passage between Punta de Cavall and Cala Vinya street, as well as the design of a new step adapted to the adjacent municipal lands to the current step. Taking advantage of the improvement, there has also been an action in the existing playground in the area providing it with new games.

Granados, wanted to emphasize "the importance of ordering this area by extending the pavements, and providing the area with new children's facilities, while improving access to the coves in the area so that they are more accessible because the beaches and coves are one of our great attractions ". Therefore, on the right side, parking spaces will be eliminated and a wide walk will be created to promote the comfortable pedestrian crossing.

The works have a total budget of € 98,610.67, which is being used for the remodeling of the current stage with the formation of new sections of the stairs and the creation of a half-way landing in order to shorten the current single section. The construction of an alternative path adapted from the middle of the forested mass is also being carried out that takes place in two different sections; on the one hand, on the top stairs, a wooden bridge that saves the ravine will be placed and adapted to the ground between the threshold of the Oromar building and Cala Font street; and the second section will be developed between the park of the street Punta de Cavall and the street Cala Font, adapting also to the current terrain. In addition, a pedestrian crossing between the two stages of the current step has been adapted and work is being carried out on the extension of some sidewalks to facilitate the continuity and access to Cala Vinya and Cala Font.
