Strategic planning
The mayor, Jaime Martínez Llabrés, stressed that “the Municipal Parking Plan is the result of strategic planning, based on technical criteria and taking into account the demands and needs of residents, for which surveys have been carried out and a detailed study of the existing needs in different neighbourhoods of Palma has been carried out, also taking into account the data contemplated in the PMUS, resulting in a medium and long-term plan”.
Martínez pointed out that Palma has a deficit of approximately 15,000 parking spaces, as specified in the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PMUS) in the year 2022, a situation that has worsened in recent years with the removal of 1,500 spaces in the Passeig Marítim and the pedestrianisation of streets such as Nuredduna.
