Nine days after the new and provisional Dénia bus station went into operation, the government team has responded to criticism for the size and functionality of this infrastructure carried out under the Plan Confianza.
The Mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, and the councilor of territory, Maria Josep Ripoll, they have recognized that these days they have been able to verify that «la estación funciona pero el resultado no es satisfactorio». That is why they have asked «disculpas públicas a los usuarios afectados» and they have announced a series of improvement works to make this station «la que merecen los ciudadanos».
Last Monday they had a meeting with the project editors, the municipal technicians and the transporters that operate in the station to know the different points of view. From this meeting, the need to expand the enclosure, both the entrance and the amplitude, was extracted. The plot has a size greater than the 2.000 square meters, so there is room to make that extension.
To face the expense of this improvement, which the mayor considers that «no será elevado», the City Council will resort to supramunicipal subsidies with the aim of not costing money to the municipal coffers. Now the efforts are focused on budgeting the works and looking for financing.
Pero además de esta ampliación, los primeros días de funcionamiento de la estación han servido para constatar que se hace necesario un reglamento de usos de la estación mediante el cual asignar andenes a las diferentes compañías que allí operan y distribuir de una forma clara el espacio disponible. Asimismo, desde el Ayuntamiento han confirmado que el «Andén 0», en el exterior de la estación, se mantendrá para las paradas rápidas de los autobuses a petición de los propios conductores.
In addition, a series of improvements will be carried out, already planned, such as the waiting windscreen, new banks and litter bins and tree replacement.
«Algunas críticas han faltado a la verdad»
El alcalde ha lamentado que se haya orquestado una «campaña política» a raíz de la puesta en marcha de la estación, y ha denunciado que «las críticas han faltado a la verdad en algunos casos». Aún así ha afirmado que «este equipo de gobierno tiene clara la hoja de ruta» y que «de aquí a siete meses la imagen de Dénia habrá cambiado radicalmente» con la finalización de todas las obras que actualmente están en marcha.
Grimalt has remarked on several occasions that they do not hide and that their intention is to «poner remedio con las medidas necesarias para mejorar la estación día a día».
It is better that the team that made this project does not touch any more. Where are the resignations? They should resign en bloc by inept. But that will never happen. The day that a public official can be fired for wasting public money in this way we will begin to evolve in this Country.
A whole group of people already announced that the works were not going well but they did not want to listen. Now reality explodes in their faces and they talk about asking for more subsidies ... for some things there is money and for others there is not. You have to be very inept not to see that the works did not follow the plan, to begin with, and that the result was not going to satisfy the correct circulation of the buses. So many technicians and others what are they for? What are they there for? They would have to be fired and replaced by professionals who can. Too many plugged in, climbing and living on public money cannot, by far, do a professional job. The only thing they can do is what they've done a total fowl. Like so many others. …. Remarking to finish, the loss of public money by these people, who have shown once again that they are light years away from being able to develop with dignity the public offices that they have managed to scratch, you know how.
Oh my God: Last week Compromís was the one that sentíTo much the disaster of the Bus Station (provisional) two days ago was Podemos today the Socialists, what a shame, but they do not resign and in the photos everyone continues to smile, how nice, they will think that others resign. Now more works, more expenses (or that is considered investment) are capable of everything. Useless, in a private company they would already be on the street. Of course, more expenses and perhaps more perks… who knows, who knows…. THEN EXPLAIN WHY THEY MADE THESE DECISIONS.
And be careful with what they are doing with the old market on the Paseo Marítimo, but why do they keep that old market? that it has no architectural interest ... what is it protected from ??? How could it not be to increase expenses…. We will be attentive, I don't trust a hair of this troop.
What there is is not a station because 3 containers can not be called a station. They would have to close the ticket office to put it in Archduke Charles which was where he was to remove the shame of the 3 containers and make a station as god mandates with cafeteria, larger toilets, a box office of eurolinies to be able to go abroad and not only the one of alsa and a large porch to protect from rain and heat
Cane is given to a party that does not send and the current city council and designers are not criticized. We cost money and who will pay?
Instead of severely criticizing the one who has done the project and those who accepted it, they try to give other parties a shot, what a disgust! This town hall has done badly and now ask for damages to the politicians and designers. You will see that nobody pays the waste.
This reminds me of G. Marx's phrase, These are my principles. If you do not like, I have others…
In any case, the corrections are welcome ...
Rectify is wise. Let's see if the PP and its acolytes of CITIZENS learn. But I do not think so, they have enough to accumulate fraudulent academic degrees and practice large-scale chorus.
Very good for the City Council and the opposition, that's what it is for, to oppose, but in Denia, he likes to make a fool of himself, and he does it very well.
