The mayor clarified that the bidding for the recovery works would be accelerated "as much as possible" and that in its first phase, the budget would be dedicated to the Retiro pond , the element that needs urgent intervention. It incorporated into this first stage (the idea is to recover the park in successive phases) a revision of the Gruta pond and other actions that cannot be postponed related to safety, such as the removal of roots, water leaks and various structural problems. The idea is to have this initial work done over the next year and make the Hobby a safe place. «María Barral commented that we were facing extremely complex jobsbecause of the difficult network of structures that are still an engineering mystery to this day.
