The Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, stressed this morning in Murcia the arrival of the AVE to the region as a major advance, and reiterated the underground network of high-speed Lorca step and recovery of the rail link with Almeria and Granada through Almendricos.
Francisco Jodar has been with the Director of Development, Francisco Barnabas, the Minister of Culture, Pedro Antonio Sánchez, and the Mayor of Murcia, Miguel Angel House, and accompanied by the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce of Lorca and CECLOR.
The event was also attended by representatives of society Murcia in the business, professional and social level where it has been informed of the processing status and the deadlines of the arrival of the AVE and the Mediterranean Corridor to the city of Murcia and the rest of the region, as is the case of Lorca.
Francisco Jodar has indicated that this act is very important since communications with the high-speed railway is an element of vital economic backbone for the city of Lorca and Valle del Guadalentín, as Lorca is the second largest municipality around the country, the third largest in the region of Murcia, a mandatory requirement for communication southeast peninsula and an area of ​​great economic importance to both agricultural, industrial and tourist city level bridge.
The mayor stressed that the high-speed communication with the Levant and the center of Spain is very important, but so is the possibility of recovering the railway connection with Andalusia we lost in 1985 due to the closure of the line iron with our surrounding community, which was to the city of Lorca and all around a clear regressive process.
Today, we have come to the point that if we travel to Andalusia from anywhere in the Region we have to go to Alcazar de San Juan and then down, which makes it unfeasible you can use the rail as a transport medium for the communication with Andalusia .
Jodar Alonso has said that now, in the XXI, with the advent of high-speed network to the city we see the opportunity to repair this debt we carry carrying for 30 years, as these infrastructures are essential for the economic role cultural , tourist and social which has Lorca.
Recall that we are the largest city between Murcia and Almeria, so AVE station in Lorca is very necessary for the needs of this railway.
Lorca Mayor explained that is why the citizens of Lorca is waiting for the date of the arrival of the High Speed ​​Murcia and definitely realized, so that from that moment, also Lorca citizens know for sure the date of the arrival of the AVE to Lorca and its passage by the city to communicate with Andalusia, first with Almeria and then to Granada.
It is therefore important to specify the date on the calendar that jeopardizes the arrival of the High Speed ​​Lorca, which also will be favored all other municipalities Guadalentín Valley.
Francisco Jodar said at this point also, of course, expectant hope the solution is given to the arrival of the high speed as it passes through the city;
if the solution may be, to the east, through the garden, or possibly to the west, the mountainous area of ​​Lorca.
Although the most sensible solution is to follow the same path that follows, at present, the commuter line linking Eagles with Murcia, which as we all know has its most important stop in Lorca.
The mayor has emphasized that in this case, the only solution would be the excavation of the routes, since the current route of the railway line in the center of the city is a problem, that with the arrival of the AVE, cause rupture City and countless drawbacks in road traffic caused by continuous cuts by train, and is also a safety issue for pedestrians, who have to live with the passage of the train daily.
I stress that the current path of the train, the only possible solution is the passage of high speed trains underground to form throughout the urban area of ​​the city.
By attending this event and their contributions in it, the Mayor of Lorca wanted to give voice to the members of the Platform Pro burial of the AVE in the city, by the fight and the interest from this group have to tell Lorca with a high-speed network and to take a further step in economic, tourism and social role of the municipality.
