Las works of Sant’Andreawhich in recent months had sparked protests among traders in the area, have reached the final stage. This is confirmed by the placement of the first mulberry trees, which began to be planted last week and give a glimpse of what the distribution of the new road will be like. A humanization that will combine a large section to allow the comfortable passage of pedestrians and two lanes to also allow cars to circulate.
TO officially inaugurate the gardening works, who will give the avenue its new face, the mayor, Inés Reand went to the site this Tuesday morning accompanied by the students of 5th primary school of CEIP Eusebio da Guarda. Together they planted a mulberry tree, helped by shovels and with the supervision and assistance of municipal workers.
THE prompt resumption of traffic on the central Via San Andrés It was one of the most urgent requests of the perimeter commercial activities, as access to the surrounding roads was also hindered. Now the renovation project is starting to take shape and the results are increasingly visible. A new road, more open and welcoming for pedestrians, can be glimpsed between the construction sites and the finishing touches.

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Urban Development Expert
Editor: Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent developments in the Sant’Andrea area. As we know, the ongoing construction work has stirred quite a bit of controversy among local business owners. Could you give us an overview of the situation?
Expert: Good afternoon! Absolutely. The works in Sant’Andrea have indeed been a topic of heated discussion. While projects like these are intended to enhance the infrastructure and beautify the area, they can also lead to significant disruptions for local businesses, especially during construction. As of last week, however, we have reached the final stage, with the planting of mulberry trees marking a significant milestone in this project.
Editor: It’s interesting to see that the planting of trees is considered a final stage. What implications does this have for the local community and the businesses affected?
Expert: Planting trees can significantly improve the aesthetic appeal of an area and contribute to community well-being. In this case, it signals the end of the intrusive phase of the construction. This should provide some relief to the local traders who have been adversely affected by noise and traffic disruptions. However, it’s crucial for local authorities to engage with these businesses to understand their experiences and support their recovery as the area is getting revitalized.
Editor: Speaking of local businesses, what kind of measures could be taken to mitigate the impact of such projects in the future?
Expert: Communication is key. Local authorities should inform businesses well in advance about planned works, timelines, and anticipated disruptions. Providing resources or incentives during construction could also alleviate some of the economic burdens. For instance, temporary financial relief or advertising initiatives to draw visitors back to these areas post-construction could make a significant difference.
Editor: That sounds reasonable. As the construction wraps up, what can the community expect in terms of changes and improvements in the Sant’Andrea area?
Expert: The community can expect a more pleasant environment thanks to the new green spaces. The addition of mulberry trees will not only enhance the area’s beauty but also contribute to better air quality. Additionally, the infrastructure improvements will likely facilitate improved traffic flow, making it more accessible for both residents and visitors, which is essential for boosting local businesses.
Editor: It sounds like the end of construction could bring new opportunities. However, do you see any potential challenges that the community might face going forward?
Expert: Yes, while the immediate disruption may be over, challenges remain. For example, it will be essential to ensure ongoing maintenance of the new trees and facilities to avoid deterioration. Additionally, the local business community should actively engage with city planners to ensure their needs are consistently met in future projects. Continuous dialogue will foster resilience and adaptability.
Editor: Wise words indeed! As this project in Sant’Andrea wraps up, it’s a reminder of the importance of planning and community involvement in urban development. Thank you for your insights today; it’s been a truly enlightening discussion.
Expert: Thank you for having me! It’s always a pleasure to talk about the intersection of community needs and urban development.
