The effects on the infrastructure and the choice of suitable materials have forced the urban planning management to delay the deadlines.
The remodeling announced by the mayor involved the recomposition of spaces, the new connection with adjacent streets, the relocation of street furniture or garden areas and the change in flooring. This is being one of the main difficulties that the Urban Planning Management has encountered, because they were looking for a marble that would not slip after a sentence to the Consistory of almost 230 thousand euros for the family of a man who hit his head after falling to the ground. and ended up dying. It so happens that the conviction was announced last October, already with José Luis Sanz in the government, although the events had occurred 5 years earlier.
Urban planning is looking for a resistant and durable material, and is encountering difficulties regarding availability on the market.
The project has not yet been completed, it has not been approved by the urban planning department and it has not been sent to the heritage commission. This, together with the execution period of 9 months, raises serious doubts about the fact that the work will be completed by Easter 2025.
