Another project that begins with enthusiasm and ends up leaving a bitter aftertaste among the residents of this small town in Ibiza
Months and months of works to improve entry to People of Jesus, Santa Eulalia, and limit traffic have ended in disappointment by the neighbors of the area. Most of them expected very different results to those obtained after the completion of the work, so they are shown indignados to what they will have to contemplate on a daily basis.
True is that the Jesus Highway project is not over definitively since it is expected that for the end of 2016 or early 2017 a variant will be built, however, this stretch already generates controversy by itself.
If you had to point the finger the worst of the new road would undoubtedly be two facts that immediately appear (apparently for all but for those who projected the work).
The first failure is that the road, of double meaning, does not have a shoulder, a peculiarity that becomes the most dangerous especially when, in addition, the sidewalk curb has a size that no car could climb (second error).
The collapse that the entrance to the town tends to suffer when combined with these two aspects would cause in case of needing the help of any means of emergency, it was impossible for them to pass for that area. According to Vanesa, neighbor of the town,she is a mousetrap in which any ambulance would be trapped, there is only to see it ".
"To leave Jesus the road is always collapsed. You spend at least 20 minutes queuing. The neighbors thought they were going to unfold it and, after months of delays and extra costsWe came across this ”, she explains irritably. Marta, another resident of the town, comments that “when two trucks pass at the same time, just is narrower than the one we had before".
The most surprising thing is that, despite being so narrow, on both sides of the road a wide bike path and a pretty sidewalk that “they lead only to the roto“Where is butane found?”explains Vanesa. For her part, Marta assures that "enough accidents occur at that point to go through it by bike." Neither of them find the meaning of that long walk that, probably no one will think of walking or cycling, at least in the middle of summer, since it has not been thought of including some element that contributes something shadow. "Not even the vegetation they planted in the middle of June has survived," says Marta.
In short, the new road to Jesus, a project that was adopted with tremendous enthusiasm by the inhabitants, has become another headache for this small town that does not understand the reason for such a "botch".
