The Amorebieta-Etxano City Council will begin next Tuesday, October 13th, the renovation works on the section of Karmen street, between numbers 11 and 17. This action continues the Karmen 2.0 project, aiming to create a more accessible, sustainable, and pleasant space for citizens in the town center.
The main focuses of the new development will be widening sidewalks, creating more green areas, prioritizing pedestrian mobility, and reducing vehicle traffic. Through this, the municipal government seeks to recover and modernize Karmen street, one of the town's main arteries, and improve residents' quality of life.
The redevelopment will take place on another section of Karmen street, between numbers 11 and 17, specifically from the intersection with Konbenio street to the intersection with Larrabide street. This project has an estimated budget of 750,000 euros and an execution period of approximately six months.
The works will include widening sidewalks to enhance pedestrian comfort and safety. Additionally, vegetation will be increased with the planting of trees and shrubs, expanding green areas and improving air quality. To calm traffic, raised pedestrian crossings will be installed, and measures will be taken to reduce vehicle speed. Infrastructure networks, including the sanitation system, will also be renewed.
Finally, street furniture will be updated with new benches and bins consistent with the town's overall design, and public lighting will be improved to increase night-time safety and reduce light pollution.
“"The expansion of the Karmen 2.0 project is another example of our commitment to a more accessible, sustainable, and people-friendly town. We have designed this project to improve the well-being and quality of life of our residents, as well as to create a more dynamic and environmentally respectful urban center. Amorebieta-Etxano is constantly transforming, and this project is part of that path."
Mayor Ainhoa Salterain has emphasized the project's importance, expressing hope that it will advance the creation of a more livable town center by promoting active mobility and sustainability.
