The Madrid City Council is about to complete the expansion of Bicimad with the installation of the last four stations of the 611 promised at the time, at a time when Madrid residents have 5,200 bicycles of the 7,500 that were announced.
The delegate of Urban Planning, Environment and Mobility, Borja Carabante, revealed this this Monday in the branch commission in response to a question about the status of the expansion posed by the socialist councilor Ignacio Benito.
Carabante has assured that 435 stations are operational throughout the capital, while the rest (172) are in the process of obtaining registration from the supply companies, apart from the four that have yet to be established.
In this regard, Benito has pointed out that the expansion of Bicimad has been possible thanks to the European funds obtained by the Government of Spain despite the fact that “(the mayor of Madrid, José Luis) Martínez-Almeida tried to boycott it” and has asked him to recognize that “Bicimad does not belong to him.”
The special plan for the historic buildings of Eloy Gonzalo will go to the November plenary session
Aside from this question, to another question from the PSOE-M about the Brewster Educational Center, located at numbers 3 and 5 Eloy Gonzalo Street, which is subject to an order to cease activity by the Madrid City Council for operating in two historic buildings with a responsible declaration that is not viable urban planning, the delegate has said that the municipal government has received 51 allegations to the special plan for the protection of these enclaves.
The project has the favorable opinion of the Heritage Commission and the local Historical Heritage Commission and will allow “regularizing” the actions carried out there, explained Carabante, who has advanced that the Government team plans to approve it definitively in the November municipal plenary session “so that the situation” of the Brewster school is regularized.
