Having discarded the location in Torrecremada as a flood zone, the City of Dénia is currently studying the possible locations for the Dénia Bus Station, one of the Trust Plan projects that should be completed before 31's December 2016.
One of those possibilities, which is the one that is gaining more weight, is that of its construction in the lot of Miguel Hernández Avenue that was going to be destined to the second health center that was never built. Next Friday, the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, And the councilor of territory, MªJosep Ripoll, will hold a meeting in Valencia with the Consellera to discuss the issue.
Meanwhile, the consistory is waiting for reports from the Local Police and urban planning. The first to know the feasibility of the project in terms of traffic in the area and the second to know the feasibility of such a construction in that area.
They will also hold a meeting with the Federation of Neighbors next week to hear their opinion on this new possibility.
If the change is accepted, the Trust Plan project would not change beyond the location, since it is not a large physical infrastructure. Grimalt recalled that this project is closely linked to the redevelopment of the Plaza Archiduque Carlos: until there is a definite location, the new station can not be built, and while it is not built, you can not move the buses of your Current site.
CEDMA continues to bet on the Maritime Station as an ideal location
Faced with this new possibility, the president of the Cercle d'Empresaris de la Marina Alta, Sonja Dietz, Said that "Wherever the station goes, intermediate stops will be necessary to communicate passengers throughout the city". Dietz explained that a study is currently being carried out to find out the final destination of the users of the bus lines that arrive in Denia and to know the actual needs of these passengers.
Even so, for the president of the CEDMA The best solution for the definitive location of the Bus Station is the Maritime station, Which already has the necessary infrastructure and would be very useful for people coming to Denia to take the boat to the Balearics.
I do not understand the closure of the current government team to install the bus station on the Miguel Hernández site. Mr. Grimalt, not only, as you stated, "some neighbors" would be against it, we are a good number of neighbors who live in this area and we suffer from the saturated traffic of the Avenue with all the inconvenience that it entails. On the other hand, the opinion that the maritime station would be a good place for the bus station is shared by another sector of Dianense society (it already has an infrastructure, ... etc. What is the problem of locating it there?).
Perhaps this effort is due to the rush to make profitable at all costs the “millionaire” that was supposed to buy this plot or to make us forget its standard-bearer health center, as the previous government team wanted to do, hastily building a ridiculous (and inactive) playground (By the way, the rubble from the works continues on the site for the greater enjoyment of the neighborhood). Sorry if I'm wrong, but as I said at the beginning, I don't quite understand ...
Miguel Hernandez street is two-way traffic Mercadona and the collapses easily. As the location for the bus station the choice can not be worse. The PSOE should reflect on the qualitative change involved the bus station from its previous project for a second health center in this plot. In its day the transformation of Miguel Hernandez area of semi-industrial to housing began, but the transformation has never finished and now houses coexist with industrial warehouses, aluminum frames, shops of all kinds, etc. The bus station can only further deteriorate the conditions to inhabit an area that was born with clear deficiencies and that no one has addressed afford. Hopefully the mayor of the PSOE think again.
Miguel Hernandez Avenue can today be considered the national road from Denia to Ibiza, through it circulate trucks of high tonnage as if it were a motorway. This type of traffic is unthinkable that circulates by the urban helmet of a modern city. As if this were not enough, the city of Denia is thinking of placing the bus station in the area. It is seen that they have not taken a walk in summer when the confluence of the traffic of Ibiza with the access to the parking of Mercadona completely collapse the traffic of the whole street.
NORTH ROUND YA!
BUS STATION OUTSIDE THE URBAN HULL !!
The new government starts well! Instead of decreasing urban traffic we will get worse. And pollution to top especially in summer. Buses outside the city!
The most appropriate location: next to the maritime station, already equipped with the necessary infrastructure and would not pollute the urban center with noise or emissions.
Let's think with some vision of the future!
The plot is small for both bus and the growth of the city that is intended.
The noise and pollution of every bus station would drown
The proposed location on Miguel Hernandez Street would add more traffic to the already collapsed crossing during the summer months through the Mercadona parking lot and the saturated street through which heavy vehicles enter and from the port. I can not imagine how they will turn the buses without collapsing the area.
