At the same time, waste collection and recycling points will be “improved, through the installation of more modern, hygienic and aesthetically attractive buried islands. The work will be completed with the installation of renewed urban furniture, such as waste bins and bicycle racks».
Once the work is completed, «the entire area will benefit from a renewed image, with new sidewalks and pavements, in addition to improved safety and mobility for vehicles and pedestrians, including elderly people and those with reduced mobility. As part of this work, the first phase of the cycle path to be built on Rua António Aleixo will also begin».

The municipality acquired a total of 250 covers, for the value of 138.450,00 euros, with a view to replacing the covers that are damaged on all the municipality's communication routes, which as they currently are can pose a danger to circulation and damage the vehicles", concluded the municipality.
