REPRESENTATIVES MEETING KING JUAN CARLOS UNIVERSITY 
Yesterday afternoon we had a cordial meeting with representatives of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, with the primary aim of resolving the limitations of the existing access has crosswalk on the campus of our neighborhood. This meeting since the university representatives told us that there is a lack of municipal involvement regarding this step. On the one hand we find, not without some surprise that the implementation material of this step (new door step construction, lighting and maintenance) and correspond fully corresponded to the university. We have always been broadcast from the municipality an absolute role, when he apparently is in a supporting role. However, we must not marginalize the role of momentum that the City had to step outside this reality, and we acknowledge this publicly, but we must not forget the role, crucially, on the other hand, the university, which we now discover and equal value.
The position of university representatives to this step is not particularly pleasant, and informing us that it is a source of insecurity for its premises, with unfortunate incidents of vandalism and robbery they attributed to this new step. We thought the situation somewhat exaggerated, but in any case accept this reading of the facts. Also tell us that sometimes, this step has been converted into a vertex bottles entry to the grounds of campus. That is why this special restrictions on Friday afternoon. So negative is the reading of this passage that told us they were seriously considering closing all access.
From the University informs us of his discomfort at the lack of compliance by the City Council's commitment to collaborate in monitoring and maintaining the pace. In this regard we fully sympathize with managers campus and we will make a formal request to the Municipal Security Council in the framework of the local police patrols to develop rounds, on foot or by bike, by this step. Also be encouraged especially for a follow-up of bottles in this area to avoid their presence, both in the Park West in general and the campus in particular. If the bottles were given in the campus through this step access is cut off completely.
But in any case, the position of university heads to our requests, even though they did not share some of our positions is open, possibility, and revised upwards. This has ensured that if the municipality confirms that this step is monitored by local police, as it does with the rest of the village road (anything you undertook in the agreement signed to this effect), the transition will be open from Monday to Friday from 7: 30 to 21:30, between the school months, ie from September to July. On weekends, both Saturday and Sunday, the passage will be open from 7:30 to 15:30.
regard to the passage of bicycles, the situation is more complex. The campus was closed because it was detected as in many instances the campus internal roads have been used for many young people to practice acrobatic cycling, downhill skateboarding and other practices incompatible with the activity of the campus. Scarce human resources of the campus security difficult to regulate this, which has been banned in a generic manner. As an intermediate system has ensured that you can create a specific bike path through the interior of campus under the plan, bike lanes running the council. If the council considers this possibility would not oppose the university and cede the land required for the construction of this road cyclist in which if allowed would bicycle traffic.
In any case, it was a cordial meeting, necessary, and that opened doors to review these measures and increase opportunities if you see that everything flows smoothly. Moreover, it was proposed and future health studies students can develop some practices in the activities undertaken by the association. Also some complaints were forwarded by the poor condition of parks perimeter of the university, but the university tells us that outside the fence they have no competition whatsoever, that this would correspond well to the City or to the conservation agency West Park commercial area in their assigned sections.
hope that this spirit of understanding to continue in the future and that soon we can see the first fruits of this meeting, we hope also not be the last.
