He Zaragoza City Council This week has approved to submit to the public information process, by advertisement in the Official Gazette of Aragon, for the period of fifteen days, the project of works of the comprehensive reform of Pedro Cerbuna Street, drafted by the technical office of the public road, whose budget amounts to 3,099,766.49 euros (VAT included) and with a planned execution period of nine months.
The project, which was presented by the mayor of Zaragoza, Natalia Chueca, has had a previous informative and participatory process of the social and neighborhood entities of the area, and will involve the transformation of this road axis in all its layout, from Hungarian Violante Street to the Crown of Aragon, which involves 570 meters in length and an area of 8,550 square meters.
In this way, in addition to an improvement in pedestrian mobility, there will be new plantations and green areas, the use and coexistence of bicycles and personal mobility vehicles will be enhanced, it will be gained in visual comfort with the new public lighting, and the subsoil networks will be renewed. Some works that, after overcoming the processes of public information administrators, tender and award, can probably begin at the beginning of 2026.
The street of Pedro Cerbuna Linda with the University City of Zaragoza and has a large amount of activity by the educational community, causing numerous bars and other establishments in it. The great influx in the area, and more specifically to the terraces of the bars, causes in many occasions problems for pedestrian traffic in one of its sidewalks. Therefore, the modification in the street section with wider sidewalks and a more pleasant environment in it will improve the pedestrian traffic of this street.
It is the object of this project, therefore, define the road and mobility improvement of Pedro Cerbuna Street, as well as the renewal of its services, modifying its cross section. To improve mobility and create a friendlier urban space for the pedestrian, the sidewalks will be expanded and the planting of new trees will be made as well as the construction of landscaped bands in different sections. The street will also be provided with new furniture to create stagnant areas that serve to favor the interpersonal relationships of users.
Specifically, a single circulation lane (such as the current one), 3.50 meters wide and sidewalks to different levels of approximately 6 meters wide with parking areas next to the sidewalk of the even numbers, although eliminating part of the squares to gain space for the pedestrian is proposed. Likewise, part of the supply and water sanitation networks will be renewed removing existing conduits.
As for the public lighting installation, 6 -meter -high columns with luminaires with LED technology will be installed for its greater light and energy efficiency.
The project will affect the entire street of Pedro Cerbuna, as well as intersections with the streets Violante de Hungary, Domingo Miral, Andrés Giménez, Menéndez Pelayo, Corona de Aragón and the Plaza San Francisco. Throughout the layout, the project adapts to its dimensions and elements, so three different sections are drawn in its route.
