Palma: new solution for less traffic in the city centre
A new and free of charge car park away from the city centre with 350 spaces has been opened next to the Son Moix Municipal Sports Centre in Palma.
Mayor of Palma José Hila highlighted the importance of a network of out-of-centre car parks near to the Via Cintura and access points for the city. The car park is right by bus stops for EMT lines 6 and 8. Mayor Hila said: “People can park their cars for free and go into the centre by public transport, bike or scooter without worrying about paying for parking or looking for somewhere to park”.
The Son Moix car park is the fourth of the out-of-centre car parks. Three others, which contain approximately 1,000 spaces, are in Son Sardina, Son Fuster and Son Gibert. A fifth car park is planned for the Llevant area.
Mobility councillor Francesc Dalmau said the town hall is working with the Council of Mallorca, which itself is preparing a plan for car parks away from main urban centres both in Palma and in other municipalities, reports Majorcadailybulletin.
The new car park will be open from 8am to 10pm Mondays to Saturdays and 8am to 3pm on Sundays. It will also be open when sports events are taking place that don’t fall within these hours. Photo Majorcadailybulletin
