Overview
- The municipal commission gave initial approval to the sewer collector and surface reurbanization between Verdaguer and Avinguda de Sarrià, the prerequisite works for the tram connection.
- PSC, BComú and ERC backed both files, PP opposed, and Junts and Vox supported the collector but voted against the reurbanization.
- The city has not set a start date as the projects now enter public exposure and claims, with final approvals, budget deals and six contract tenders still required.
- Financing pairs €115 million from the city for the collector and reurbanization with €80 million from the ATM/Generalitat for tracks and catenaries.
- Official documents estimate roughly 40 months of works plus testing, BComú presses for a faster calendar tied to 2026 budgets, and ERC supports the link while urging shorter timelines and future public management.
