There are already reactions to the news that Cadena SER advanced yesterday: that the local government recognizes that it has not yet convened the ideas competition to give content to the Jesuits’ site. But it is also that the local government ensures that among its plans is to build, not the expansion of the Botànic, but a “transitional garden”, something that they criticize in Citizens where they also regret the few advances that have been made in this project.
Councilor Narciso Estellés regrets that the ideas contest has not been called after being announced two years ago. Not only that, since Compromís and PSPV arrived at the City Council in 2015 no progress has been made, despite the commitments of the mayor, Joan Ribó, and his government team with the University of Valencia to plan its development. Estellés has gone further and recalled that the Jesuits’ site is to expand the Jardí Botánic not to make urban gardens “nor plant tomatoes”, in reference to the definition of a garden made by the local government.
They also ask for advances in the Aragon site
The councilor explained that “regarding the other part of the swap, the site of the old Town Hall on Avenida de Aragón, this is still a site”, “The land was part of the change of land to obtain the site of Jesuits, but now it’s fenced and there is no view that there is going to be construction for the hotel. According to the response of the Urban Development delegation, until April 2019 the city council did not officially hand over the space to the businessman, free of illegal occupants and clean, after almost a mandate full of appeals and claims ”, he added.
Finally, Estellés has affirmed that “that environment of Aragón avenue we are very concerned; between the deadlines already expired for the actions of demolition of the old Mestalla, and again in limbo, and the adjoining lot with no action, this area is an urban ‘black point’ of the city ”.
