Representatives from the business community of the Paterna Technology Park and residents of Mas Camarena recently held a working meeting at the Government Sub-delegation in Valencia to discuss access and mobility issues in the area.

The meeting, held at the Government Sub-delegation, highlighted existing concerns over daily traffic congestion in this strategic area. The situation is expected to worsen in the coming years due to planned residential and industrial growth. Attendees included business representatives such as Rafael del Castillo and Francisco Izquierdo, the manager of EGM Parc Tecnològic Paterna, Manuela Pedraza, the president of the Mas Camarena Property Owners Association, José Antonio Hernández, the head of the State Road Demarcation in the Valencian Community, Guillermo Llopis, and the Government Sub-delegate in Valencia, José Rodríguez.
Participants agreed that the high reliance on private vehicles, saturation of the CV-35 and bypass access roads, along with the need to strengthen public transport alternatives, require coordinated action among relevant administrations. The impact of ongoing bypass works and the status of overpasses and road connections near the Technology Park were analyzed, emphasizing the importance of leveraging planned improvements for capacity and connectivity to better distribute traffic flows.
Both business and resident groups called for greater institutional coordination, access to updated technical information, and joint planning to anticipate mobility problems arising from the area's urban and economic growth. The Sub-delegation was informed of other proposed solutions, with a positive assessment of developing a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system, using high-capacity electric buses connected to the Metrovalencia network, as a viable and faster alternative to other rail infrastructure. Additional measures include mobility hubs, park-and-ride facilities, and car-sharing systems.
It was concluded that the issues surrounding the Technology Park and Mas Camarena cannot be resolved by isolated actions but require a joint strategy combining new infrastructure, efficient public transport, urban planning, and inter-administrative cooperation. Finally, it was agreed to continue gathering technical information and communicating the identified needs and concerns to the involved administrations.
