The Móstoles City Council has initiated the 'Special Lighting Plan. Phase I' with 148 LED streetlights on Constitución and Dos de Mayo avenues, an investment of €550,000 aimed at improving energy efficiency and road safety.
Work has already begun in Móstoles. The City Council, through the Department of Urban Planning, Housing, Heritage and City Maintenance, has launched the first phase of a plan that will renew 148 streetlights with LED technology on two of the city's main arteries: Constitución Avenue and Dos de Mayo Avenue. The budget amounts to €550,000 and the execution period is three months.
More light and less consumption in the commercial axis
The action focuses on the commercial axis of Constitución Avenue, from the Cuatro Caminos roundabout to the intersection with Portugal Avenue, and also includes Dos de Mayo Avenue. The aim is to enhance visibility and safety in a high pedestrian and commercial traffic area, a community demand that, according to the City Council, will promote local commerce. The residents of Móstoles will notice a more uniform and efficient lighting, which reduces energy consumption and improves quality of life.
Taller poles to avoid tree shadows
New supports with longer arms will be installed on Velázquez, Salcillo, Gran Capitán, Salvador Dalí, Alonso Cano, and Juan de Juanes streets. This measure will shift the luminaires towards the roadway, avoiding interference from trees and ensuring a uniform light projection. The City Council has explained that the CURV model poles removed from Velázquez street, which are still in good condition, will be reused on Sorolla and Paseo de Goya streets, where they will replace obsolete supports and unify the area's aesthetics.
Commitment to sustainability and urban image
The plan aims not only for energy efficiency but also to modernise the urban image of Móstoles. LED technology allows for significant savings in electricity consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. The City Council emphasizes that this investment is part of its commitment to maintaining public spaces. The works, which have already begun, will be completed within three months, so residents will see the results before the end of autumn. Móstoles thus follows the lead of other municipalities in the Community of Madrid that have opted for LED lighting to save costs and improve safety.
