MALLORCA TODAY - Tendering for Puerto Pollensa's pedestrianisation this autumn

The regional government will take responsibility for tendering for the project to semi-pedestrianise the coast road in Puerto Pollensa, while Pollensa town hall will take responsibility for its design, which is set to include a cycle lane as well as the keeping of the road for one-way traffic. The town hall is to commit to spending more than had initially been budgeted, but there are concerns as to this commitment because of limited financial resources.

MALLORCA TODAY - Puerto Pollensa's pedestrianisation planned

Some years after the debacle of the pedestrianisation of Puerto Pollensa's coast road, a project that was abandoned because it was ill-conceived and largely unsupported, a new plan is being considered. It would involve a semi-pedestrianisation of the frontline by which traffic coming from Alcúdia could still use the road, so making the road one way. This plan isn't really that new as it has been spoken about for some while. It requires the Council of Mallorca ceding responsibility for the road to Pollensa town hall and mayor Tomeu Cifre, unlike his predecessor, is making assurances that there will be consultation over a project that, were it to happen, would be in place by the start of the 2014 tourism season.
