In late July 2026, the Santa Cruz de Tenerife city council launched a short‑term neighbourhood cleaning operation, deploying dozens of municipal workers and vehicles to clear streets in the El Draguillo and El Rosarito districts. The initiative was paired with a council motion urging the Spanish State to release funding for a €2.2 million beach‑stabilisation project at Benijo, citing delays from a national coastal authority report.

After three years of work, La Rosa street in the El Toscal neighbourhood reopened on a €6 million budget, partly financed by EU Next Generation funds. The overhaul added 650 m of widened sidewalks, 40 new trees, electric‑vehicle charging points, smart pedestrian crossings, a fire‑hydrant network, upgraded water, sewage and telecom infrastructure, and a dedicated electric‑bus line 914.

Simultaneously, the municipality began a short‑term resurfacing of Lope de Vega street, scheduled 3–7 August with a budget of €83,179. Following this, the council announced an asphalt renewal project on Islas Canarias Avenue, set to begin on 10 August and run until 31 August at a cost of approximately €269,111. The project will be executed in seven phases, targeting uphill lanes near the tram platform. These works will involve full traffic closures, parking prohibitions, and diversions via Avenida de La Asunción and Avenida de Bélgica. Public transport, specifically TITSA's Line 904, will also face route changes and stop cancellations during the initial phases.

Mayor José Manuel Bermúdez has presented these ongoing infrastructure projects as part of the "Impulso Urbano" plan, emphasizing a commitment to safer, more sustainable streets for residents and businesses.
