Overview

• The three-year redevelopment will be officially opened on June 29 with a traffic-free celebration featuring family activities, music and workshops from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• The overhaul widens sidewalks to more than four meters, calms surrounding plazas and installs a continuous shared lane for buses and bicycles on the downhill route
• Private vehicle circulation has been cut by 20–30%, while uphill traffic is channelled into a single reserved lane for bus 47 and authorized local vehicles
• Taula Mou-te per Barcelona and Barnacentre praise the boost in pedestrian safety but caution that the loss of two-way traffic may spark congestion
• Several pending administrative appeals allege procedural irregularities in the project’s approval, and one court has already ruled against the city council
