The main positive impacts are the following: . Improve access road in poor areas. The rehabilitation of roads will benefit directly to the population in the surrounding areas. These interventions are expected to provide improved and clean access for residents between their properties and schools, work or business, shops and other activities, while increasing transportation mode options. Additionally, the construction of complementary works as cycle-paths, side-walks and house access will improve the security and circulation of people; Improve drainage system in flooding areas. This will increase porous areas, reducing runoff, and will enhance living conditions and improve of the City, citizens’ perception reducing littering and related maintenance needs; Quality of the urban space. The incorporation of the complementary works as part of the road subprojects, green areas, will improve the community quality of life; and Reduce the negative impacts in vulnerable areas. The construction and rehabilitation of the drainage system proposed in vulnerable areas will reduce the negative impacts that affect to most of the population who lives in these areas. Additionally will reduce vulnerability to flooding and improving sanitary conditions. Negative environmental and social impacts In relation with the environmental and social negative impacts, following is present a list of the potential negative impacts in the stage of the subprojects and for each type of subprojects that the FMIP will finance: Drainage: Table Nº 3 Negative environmental and social impacts in drainage subprojects Negative Impacts in the Stage Negative Impacts in the Social aspects Biophysical aspects Traffic congestion, creation of hazardous driving conditions, and temporary obstruction of access to Increase of risk of accidents in the public community services and routes and discomfort in the pedestrian residential and commercial areas; and motorized transit.
