The Area of Works and Equipment of the Madrid City Council has commenced improvement works at the intersection of Condesa de Venadito and Martínez Villergas streets, in the Ciudad Lineal district. The project, with an investment of 1.1 million euros and expected to conclude in the spring of 2027, aims to optimize accessibility and road safety, renew paving and urban furniture, and promote the renaturalization of the environment.
The intervention will cover a total area of 14,000 m², also encompassing Torrelaguna street. The project prioritizes the reorganization of space to give greater prominence to pedestrians and green infrastructure, reducing the area dedicated to vehicular traffic and expanding pedestrian zones and green spaces.
Regarding mobility, parking will be reorganized, 204 meters of bus lane will be rehabilitated, and horizontal and vertical signage will be updated to adapt to the new road configuration and improve urban legibility.
The action will also enhance overall accessibility, including the adaptation of spaces for people with reduced mobility, pedestrian crossings, and vehicle access points. Lighting points will be relocated, and 757 meters of new channeling for public lighting will be installed.
Special attention will be given to the area surrounding the VeoVeo Children's Education School, expanding waiting and resting spaces to ensure safer and more comfortable routes for students.
The renovation plans include a significant increase in the environmental capacity of the public space. Permeable surface area will grow from 39 to 886 m², and the garden area will expand from 39 to 308 m². The number of trees will more than triple, increasing from 26 to 89 specimens, contributing to shade generation and runoff reduction.
The project involves renewing urban furniture with the installation of 29 benches, six concrete benches, two children's play structures, and a drinking water fountain. Unnecessary or redundant elements will be removed to standardize and modernize the urban equipment.
In terms of paving, sustainable and permeable solutions such as draining pavers and concrete slabs will be used, combined with more resistant pavements in areas of vehicular traffic.
