The Madrid City Council proposes to allocate around 400 spaces in the new Santiago Bernabéu parking to local residents at an affordable price. The project is currently halted by a court ruling.
The Madrid City Council offers residents around the Santiago Bernabéu stadium that part of the spaces in the new parking be reserved for residents at an affordable price. This was confirmed by the delegate for Urbanism, Environment and Mobility, Borja Carabante, from the A-5, according to information published by elespanol.com.
Carabante commented on the lack of parking in the area after the newspaper El Mundo reported a plan to convert the parking into a major mobility hub with 400 spaces for residents in the next term. The project is 40% complete.
The delegate explained that the City Council has spoken with residents about giving up the parking on Paseo de La Habana, which was their main concern due to the tunnel and access ramp.
It seems logical, I think everyone understands that there is a need for parking and in fact there is a waiting list among residents looking for a space.
According to the proposal, spaces that were reserved solely for visitor rotation could also be reserved for residents. The parking would also reduce the traffic impact on those attending events at the Bernabéu.
What we want is to do it in accordance with the residents, and for that we have offered that part of those spaces that were reserved solely for rotation could also be reserved for the residents, at an affordable price.
A court ruling has halted the parking. Carabante noted that the City Council must resolve the formal issues outlined in the ruling regarding urban compliance and work on a Special Plan that allows it to be enabled.
Regarding the undergrounding of the A-5, Carabante considered that there is "light at the end of the tunnel." The City Council is already carrying out the urbanization works for the future Suroeste Greenway, which will recover almost 100,000 square meters of surface area and eliminate the barrier posed by the motorway for residents of Lucero, Aluche, and Las Águilas in the Latina district.
On October 23, the bifurcation of the exit lanes of the motorway at the height of Illescas street will be modified, which will run on both sides of the future tunnel entrance. The change frees up space to replace a drinking water pipeline and construct the final surface road. The opening of the tunnel is expected for the end of this year or early next, which will reduce surface traffic by 90%.
