The Shade Plan, which includes the installation of shade sails on public roadways, began this week on several of the primary shopping streets in the municipality’s historic centre, including Obispo Tormo Street, Hospital Street, Major del Pla Street, and Corredora Street.
Claudio Guilabert, the Councillor for Public Services, emphasised that “it is a very positive step— a commitment by this municipal government to provide shade, especially during the hottest months of the year, thereby creating greater climate comfort.”
Guilabert underscored that the primary goal of installing the shade sails is to “encourage activity, both for tourists and locals, with much more pleasant and enjoyable walks,” as well as to reduce the seasonality of the commercial offering with shaded areas.
The awnings, which will be designated as municipal property, are included in the €297,000 investment in the project. They will be installed in May and removed between September and October for a period of two years, contingent upon weather conditions and the requirements.
Additionally, the councillor for the region has verified that efforts are currently ongoing to ensure that “these shade sails” can be extended to other commercial streets in the municipality, such as the districts or neighbourhoods of Altabix, El Pla-Sector V, and Carrús, by the end of the year.
