The Balearic Islands' Port Authority (APB), in collaboration with Palma's city council, is carrying out several improvement works in the bike lane of Palma's Port.
On one hand, the route of the bike lane has been modified on its way to Moll Vell Street and the intersection with Adolfo Suarez Avenue. These works aim at improving the safety conditions of pedestrians and cyclists, who until now had to share a limited space during the wait at traffic lights, with the resulting risk for both groups.
Specifically, the surface of the platform for waiting at traffic lights has been enlarged; the existing flower beds have been expanded; a new green area has been created; and the crosswalks on Adolfo Suarez Avenue have been broadened in order to create a wide crossing lane for pedestrians.
The parking lot in front of the old office building of the APB has also been paved in order to highlight the facade.
On the other hand, the bike lane on Palma's Port is being painted again with the aim of remodelling and improving it. A total of 3.7 km will be painted in red of the total 4.7 km of surface, and the marks, symbols and numberings will be painted in reflective white paint. The APB has awarded these works to the company AGLOMSA for a total of 58.000€. The works will have an estimate duration of one or two weeks.
