The Madrid’s community put out to tender on January 26th the contract for the drafting of the construction project of the future Metro station on line 9B that will serve the new developments in Ahijones and Los Berrocalesan infrastructure that could have consequences for the residents of Arganda who use this means of transportation.
As stated in the technical specifications, to which you have had access Arganda’s Diarythe project to be carried out “will contemplate the execution of the new station and all the necessary infrastructure associated with it”, with a design that allows “access from both developments (Ahijones and Los Berrocales)» and «have a vertical connection with the Gran Vía del Sureste overpass where the priority bus that will serve the developments in the southeast will circulate in the future and will stop at this point.»
Additionally, you must «allow the rupture of the operating service that is currently carried out at the Puerta de Arganda station“, that is, it must be designed to accommodate transshipment which is currently taking place in Puerta de Arganda.
The new station will therefore be located between Puerta de Arganda and Rivas Urbanizationsconfiguring itself as a “collective transport interchange for residential and tertiary areas of new developments”, although a priori and as established in the specifications It does not seem that the transfer made by Arganda users in Puerta de Arganda is going to disappear.
Thus, the document contemplates that “the planned location for the new Metro line 9B station has been included in the urban planning as a possible modal interchange area. despite being very far from the planned locations for the population and the use of new developments”, so “it must be projected with the priority objective of connecting with other modes”.
In this sense, the station “must be able to modify the operating system allowing the disruption of the service currently carried out at the Puerta de Argand stationa”, which could mean that The transfer that users currently make at Puerta de Arganda will now be carried out at the new Ahijones-Los Berrocales station.
Sources of the Department of Transport consulted by Arganda’s Diary have indicated that they are currently “studying which is the best option, which will have to be evaluated later to make a final decision.
The PSOE-M once again requests the suppression of transfers
From the PSOE-M, once the specifications were known, they recalled that the leader of the Madrid socialists, Juan Lobato, already requested the elimination of transshipment on Metro Line 9B.
In this sense, the Secretary of Sustainable Mobility and Urban Agenda of the PSOE-M, Isidro Barqueroshas questioned the project promoted by the Community of Madrid on social networks, since «Ayuso makes it a condition for the new Los Ahijones station to perpetuate this transfer“, which in his opinion means “dressing one saint to undress another.”
