Cable, telephone and data transmission companies not only have the municipality’s airspace saturated, but they delay Infrastructure works in the city.
It is enough to take a tour of the main boulevards of the city and you can see the rolls of cables hanging from the electricity poles.
But the lack of control is not only due to the saturation and danger they represent, but also the slowness and sometimes disobedience in removing cables in places where public and private works are built.
To know
SPS architects believe that the city should commit to a wiring relocation project not only for image, but also for safety.
For sampedranas like Olga Gomez It is unfortunate that there is no control, because many times cable companies leave large rolls of wire hanging on those poles, they fall and they are not even worthy of picking them up.
“You look up and you can’t even see the sky with so much cable hanging everywhere, he said. He considered that it is time to put order, especially when they are beginning to affect the development of the city.
Example
At this time it is being built on the north boulevard, in front of the fesitranh colony, a pedestrian bridge. The San Pedro Sula Siglo 21 consortium is in charge.
The National Electric Energy Company (Enee) relocated the cables that prevented progress on the bridge and that allowed the continuation, but the private telecommunications companies need to do so, which have already been notified to move their cables and be able to finish it.
“Many projects face these types of problems, since these companies are only dedicated to installing tremendous rolls of wire and without any plan; Furthermore, there is no supervision from anyone,” said civil engineer Osmín Bautista.
Invests L11 million in municipal nursery
With an investment of 11 million lempiras, the municipality of San Pedro Sula began the project to improve the Santa Ana Merendón municipal nursery, Mario Catarino Rivas Boulevard. The project will contribute to strengthening the environmental education of the city’s children and young people, reported Mayor Roberto Contreras. “The children are very excited because it is a new experience for them, something similar did not exist in the city, we did have nurseries, but not the didactic part, where we have to go. Now we are building the building and the children will come here to do their social service and promote love for the environment,” the mayor emphasized.
The work
The bridge that will be built on that site will be 48.14 meters long and 2.70 meters wide, with a 15-centimeter slab. It will have access ramps supported by circular columns, their respective railings, lighting and signage.
“The entire foundation of the access ramps has already been built, and 2 of the 3 access ramps were built on both sides; In addition, the pilaster in the center of the bridge was built,” said the director of the 21st century projectsMelina Martínez.
“Currently work is being done on the formwork, columns and prefabricated beams,” said the engineer.
The pedestrian bridge in front of the Fesitranh neighborhood is the second one built San Pedro Sula 21st Centurythe first was the pedestrian bridge in front of Social Security, through which between 1,500 to 1,700 people pass daily, allowing pedestrian circulation in a safe manner and avoiding accidents.
The municipality has made several calls to companies to remove the cables, but they have not responded to the call made on several occasions.
