2.5. Millions of dollars are
being invested this year in the stabilization of stopping the erosion channels
that some are presented by the very consequences of nature, of which $1 million
dollars come from the State Grants to complement the project.
To do this, they are using
plastic cells located on the canal bank and depending on elevation in some
cases filled with stones or earth. This is to prevent and avoid erosion;
maintain the capacity of its water and protect property in some cases close to
both private and public areas, which are the city streets.
It is important to mention, these
works respond to a study conducted in which all the canals were analyzed and in
accordance with the results and severity of erosion, the Canal Bank
Stabilization Program emerged.
Currently, Program 4 is on
development. The previous programs also included the restoration of channels
and installation of shared bike/pedestrian path.
This year the restoration of the
channels is complemented by the “Bikeway Master Plan” which is to build Bike
Path 10 feet wide, which in addition to the use for cyclists and pedestrians
also allows access for maintenance of the canal.
We're talking about five miles of
Bike Path and about 10 miles stabilization canals. Currently, work is being
conducted in 97 ave. between 42 St. and 49 between Terrace and 102 ave. and 104
ave. which could be completed by June. In addition, stabilization works have
completed between 25 St. and 107 and 117 ave.
We need to highlight that the
amount of investment for the stabilization of the canals is $12.9 million
dollars and have been developed by stages or programs. This year, we’re in
stage 4 while we are designing stages for five six next two years.
