The Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, together with the Councilors of Works and Commerce in the Municipal Consistory, Lali Ibarra and Juan Miguel Bayonas, respectively, have reported that the City Council and the Autonomous Community are going to proceed with the installation of a series of awnings In streets of the historic center in the months in which higher temperatures are reached with the aim of providing ample shaded areas to pedestrians and soften the torrid environment that is generated, especially in summer.
This is a measure designed to reduce the effects of heat waves by enabling shade zones, shaded corridors in particular areas of passage, or key routes within the city grid.
The First Edil explained that "this is an action that will comprise Calle Corredera from the Plaza de la Concordia to its confluence with Calle Álamo, as well as Calle Pío XII, from the junction with Corredera to Lope Gisbert street, Area to which is added the Alporchones street, also from Corredera to Lope Gisbert ".
Jódar Alonso has anticipated that "the project consists of realizing the tunneling of part of the pedestrian circuit of the historical center of Lorca that encompasses streets with great traffic of people, due to its commercial character, in order to reduce the high temperatures that are reached From late spring to the end of summer. "
The Mayor said that "according to plan, the sails or awnings will be made from tensed membranes, with rhomboidal base cover, with the four anchors at the same height. The membrane will be made in colored fabric to choose , Fire-resistant, with straight sides and perimetral reinforcing tape and loops every 15 cm along the entire perimeter and rings at all four corners.
The assembly will be done between facades, without intermediate masts.
Façades will be installed in the facades to support the continuous galvanized steel cable with tensioners at the required distances.
The canvases are attached to the facade cable with strings of high tenacity and at the same time joined together, maintaining a separation between them of at least 15 cm.
The First Edil stressed that "thanks to the collaboration of Ayuntamiento and Autonomous Community we will put into motion this shade that has been demanded by the merchants and which will mean an effective improvement for the commercial character of the city of Lorca."
