new pedestrian walkway between PP and Pollenca

[lollipop]

The work that was done last year on the water links went straight along the main road and my understanding was that was to be the route for the footpath,they have definitely levelled the ground on the lower section of the road today.

Just a quick update on the footpath. It is definitely taking shape and is going alongside the main road from Airplane roundabout(caprabo) to the old town. They have started at the port end ,which makes a nice change. Even saw people walking on the part laid area this morning.

That is good news - we stayed in a villa on the edge of siller and that walk along the hard shoulder into town was horrid.

Could someone 'on the ground' in PP give us an update on the progress of the footpath please

Hi GG, the footpath is coming along! its about 1/3rd of the way but is not open on the completed bits yet. They seem to be spending quite a while flattening and rolling .

 

[Gommar Goffer]

Thanks lollipop - I had hoped that the section between the seaplane and Habitat might be finished before the family come out in mid july, Just to make it safer getting to and from the port - hey ho!

[lollipop]

GG , I think it may well be open by then ,well that section at least. I'll keep you posted.

 

[lollipop]

The footpath section from Aeroplane roundabout to beyond Habitat appears to be finished. There is certainly no work being done on this and apart from the barrier at Habitat end all are to one side. Easy to access even with barrier. People are walking on it although some still walking on road. Should make life easier for the summer for those who walk into the port.

Thanks for the update lollipop - have they installed street lighting? It will be a shame for more light pollution to be added to the area but good from a safety point.

[lollipop]

No extra lights as yet,but I'm not sure its completely finished. Waiting to see if they restart on the next stretch!!

The whole project seems to have stalled waiting for funding, there was supposed to be seating, lighting and trees planted en route. the 10 week completion date has been passed some time ago!!!

 

[lollipop]

The barriers are down!!!!!! people using the pathway so hopefully a safer summer for folks.

 

[Gommar Goffer]

Thanks for the update lollipop - that is good news, just in time for the wife/daughter/friends arrivimg next week. far safer for them to stumble along after a night in chivas - mind you it will probably be light by then

The new footpath along the main road in from the Habitat looks great, but still some people were walking along the road They seem to have started it in the town as well coming down to the port, just around the roundabouts and stretch by the school

That's great news about the walk way. I havn't been to PP for a good couple of years, but all this could change in May!!

I've been trying to search where it is and only have vague memories of locations of roundabouts etc. I can't seem to find a decent map location for Habitat apartments, so can anyone shed any light on the actual location of the walkway in simple terms?!

Also, how long is it taking to walk it?

Thanks

It runs from the Habitat roundabout( opposite White rose ) down as far as the aeroplane roundabout (by the Old Caprabo now Eroski) if that helps, and also runs from the same place towards Pollenca as far as La Villa.

 

[Gommar Goffer]

I guess calling it a walkway could be misleading - pavement would probably be more apt and descriptive would it not? (or have I got the wrong end of the stick again?)

GG

 

[lollipop]

I guess its more a pathway as not been tiled or slabbed.

 

[jiggggy]

Isnt it a sidewalk?

 

[sws97sdg]

Jiggy you are just being silly now, of cause its not a sidewalk, it is not in the US you know, its a footpath
