At a press conference yesterday, the Centro Historico Project Association presented architectural plans to renovate the Plazuela Machado and the salt water pool Carpa Olivera in Olas Altas.
Architects responsible for the remodeling, Erik Pérez and Javier Hidalgo, pointed out that in previous municipal administrations updates had been sporadic and isolated without a (comprehensive) strategy. With global modern urban development strategies, renovations can no longer be planned by zone when considering embellishing or beautifying public spaces, the architects said.
The Plazuela Machado revitalization project will begin within the next few days. The first stage consists of redesigning parks and benches in the public square, repositioning and illuminating the garden, installing an irrigation system and installing underground electric cables for cultural events.
With respect to the public saltwater pool, la Carpa Olivera, the project involves a modern design to use the adjacent sea water and the construction of a viewing platform, a fountain, installation of palm trees, good quality bathrooms, showers and a water slide utilizing salt water.
The architects explained the idea is to give a concession to an individual or business that will offer drinks and snacks at the pool. The owner will be in charge of safeguarding and maintaining the pool in exchange for the concession.
