Overview
- The starter package totals €15 million, with €12 million from the city and €3 million from the Generalitat, to launch works across the Samontà area starting in 2026.
- Officials will channel the program through a revamped Consorci for the Gran Via and Samontà rather than the Pla de Barris mechanism to speed coordination and funding.
- Priority works include redesigning the Pubilla Cases metro environs, creating a green corridor along Avinguda de Catalunya to link Les Planes and La Torrassa, expanding La Torrassa park by 7,000 m² and adding new green space.
- Of the total, €6 million is earmarked for Samontà-specific actions and €9 million in municipal funds will upgrade the Collblanc market, expand the La Florida library and improve accessibility on key streets.
- The push follows a protest of about 3,000 residents over insecurity, with the mayor seeking a meeting with Justice Minister Félix Bolaños as the city cites Mossos shortfalls, a Guardia Urbana labor dispute and continues block-by-block housing inspections that could lead to rehabilitations or demolitions.
