As the renovation of the Jardim do Largo da República (outside the secondary school and pre-primaria) in Silves at last re-opens the council are alerting motorists "to the traffic rules created for the site", a Coexistence Zone with a speed limit is 20 km/h, where pedestrians have top priority, and there is no 'physical separations' between the pedestrian and vehicular areas.
However, the municipality explains that "for reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences for the functioning of the economy, namely the difficulty of companies in providing services, executing orders and fulfilling contracts, and due to the heavy and indescribable bureaucratic web that occurs in the process of certification and licensing of installations, despite the enormous daily efforts developed by the municipality, the important and structuring work for the Requalification of Jardim do Largo da República is not yet completely finished".
The placement of the benches remains to be carried out, plus the construction of two shading structures, the operation of the water feature with nebulizers, the replanting of shrubs, the connection of the decorative lighting. In addition, work has just started on the Bar-Cafeteria and terrace.
