Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) is proceeding in these days to the installation of new street lighting along the Levante dock at the port of Maó, with the aim of improving the street lighting and pedestrian and to reduce power consumption and light pollution in the area.

 

 

With an operating budget of one million euros, are putting a total of 72 street lights along the nearly mile away you have the performance area. This project has enjoyed the cooperation of the Consell de Menorca, through the Consortium of Waste Urbans i energy, to adapt to new regulations for energy saving.

 

 

Each lamp has two lamps that illuminate both the road and the promenade and feature modern energy saving systems and light pollution mitigation. Work began about a month and is expected for completion before the Easter holiday.

 

 

Changing trees

 

 

This performance, conducted by Indra Sistemas, a company awarded the contract, also includes the redevelopment of part of the woodland walk. In cases where trees currently planted match the location of the new streetlights, are affected by plant pests or are difficult to treat dead will be replaced.

 

The new specimens of species planted will be more adaptable in size and shape to the port area, require less maintenance and by its diversity, will provide an obstacle to the easy spread of pests.
