The Balearic Islands' Port Authority (APB) launches the "Conditioning of roads and pedestrian zones" project, which will provide la Savina port with infrastructure more adapted to the port's current needs making the infrastructure more convenient for its users.
This improvement project, which is being drawn up and will begin in the next few months, consists, on the one hand, of the reorganisation, improvement and adaptation of the car park area located at the north side of la Savina Port, and, on the other hand, the conditioning of the port's roads and pedestrian areas.
The completion of the works at the new Formentera Maritime Station in 2006 and all these years of use have highlighted that the progressive increase of users requires action to optimise the flow of passengers and vehicles that access this station on a daily basis.
In order to meet these needs, it is intended, firstly, to condition the car park area located at the north side of la Savina Port, creating two car park strips (cars and trucks) at the same level and rearranging internal traffic inside the car park. The investment made by the APB for this first phase is €600,000.
On the other hand, and in order to enhance pedestrian areas, it is intended to homogenise the whole area and provide Formentera's residents with an area for their enjoyment in the port area, the Beautification Plan includes the conditioning of roads and pedestrian access areas.
More than ten companies have been put forward for the preliminary project phase. The investment for this second phase amounts to €6 million and will run between 2018 and 2019.
