The Ibiza Town Hall has started improvement works in the streets of the historic neighborhood of Sa Penya, with an investment of 47,577.43 euros for the renovation of the pavement. The works include the installation of limestone in the most deteriorated roads, a step that, according to municipal authorities, responds to neighborhood demands and seeks to revitalize this emblematic area of the city.
Works focused on paving
The project includes the removal of deteriorated paving and the installation of gray limestone with bush-hammered finish. In some cases, the existing tiles will be reused after being restored, a measure that seeks to preserve the distinctive character of the neighborhood. The mayor of Ibiza, Rafael Triguero, explained that the works are designed to respect the regulations of the P.E.P.R.I. (Special Plan for Protection and Interior Reform) applicable to Sa Penya, La Marina and Eixample, and clarified that they do not involve modifications to the surface area or built volumes.
Modernization of the power grid
In parallel, the Consistory is working on the reception of a new electrical transformation center, which will improve the low and medium voltage installations in the neighborhood. The power lines on the facades are also being reviewed in order to evaluate possible measures for reorganization or removal of cables, in search of a cleaner image of the urban environment. In addition to the improvements in the infrastructure, an intensive cleaning has been carried out in the surroundings of Sa Pedrera, where 4,000 kilos of waste and 1,500 kilos of junk and scrap metal were removed, according to the City Council.
Housing rehabilitated under the Integral Plan
As part of the Comprehensive Housing Plan Eivissa, una ciutat per viure-hi, the City Council is rehabilitating 24 homes in the historic center, five of which will be delivered soon to house public employees of the general administration of the State.
