Ferran Casablancas street has been the first section where the works for the second phase of Terramar's rehabilitation have started in Sitges. The work has already begun to reveal damaged pavements and sidewalks that will be replaced with new construction. This action will improve pedestrian and vehicle mobility, as well as organize the lighting, water, and telecommunication networks.
With a total budget of €3,266,400.92 (VAT included), the work is expected to be completed in eight months. The area affected by Cristòfol Colom, Juan de la Cierva, Ramon Casas, Avinguda Navarra, and Jaume Arbós Tor streets will feature a new look next year. The second phase is being carried out in stages, ensuring several streets are finished earlier.
The Mayor of Sitges, Aurora Carbonell Abella, highlighted the importance of rehabilitating these damaged streets and sidewalks, considering Terramar an emblem of the city. The Councilor for Image and Public Way, Cristina Guiu, emphasized the care for Sitges' heritage to create a safe and friendly environment. This action follows the comprehensive renovation carried out in 2021 in an area bounded by Avinguda de Navarra, Escultor Clarassó street, Juan de la Cierva, and Ramon Casas.
The project includes the replacement of public lighting with LED technology, promoting energy efficiency and reducing consumption. Electrical low-voltage and telecommunication networks will also be undergrounded to increase safety and energy efficiency, minimizing weather-related incidents and improving supply quality.
The entire area will be repaved, creating accessible pedestrian crossings and structuring streets with a single carriageway (sidewalk and road at the same level) to calm traffic and improve residents' quality of life. These works are integrated into the mobility study of the Terramar Master Plan.
Regarding the environment, the proposed actions comply with current environmental quality regulations, using methods to reduce CO2 emissions, acoustic impact, and visual impact, ensuring a low environmental footprint.
Given the size of Terramar, new phases have been planned for the coming years to complete the integral rehabilitation of the entire area.
