"Barcelona's proposal to extend the tramway along Diagonal, connecting Verdaguer and Francesc Macià, is gaining momentum. First Deputy Mayor Laia Bonet confirmed that two essential proposals will be put to a vote to enable the extension: the construction of the new water collector and the redevelopment of Diagonal. Securing enough support from city council members remains a fundamental requirement before any works can proceed."
"The mayor will require the support of opposition groups for this project to advance. He has expressed particular confidence in the backing of ERC and Comuns, however Junts has taken a critical position, and both PP and Vox have positioned themselves against it. Budget planning dominates discussions. The City Council has earmarked €115 million for both the new water system and Diagonal improvements, while the Generalitat's share-€80 million-targets the tram infrastructure."
Plans propose extending the tram along Diagonal to connect Verdaguer and Francesc Macià, requiring construction of a new water collector and Diagonal redevelopment. Progress depends on securing sufficient city council support, with confidence in backing from ERC and Comuns, while Junts is critical and PP and Vox oppose the project. The City Council has allocated €115 million for the water system and Diagonal works, and the Generalitat plans €80 million for tram infrastructure. The proposal aims to unify Trambaix and Trambesòs and will be voted on in the Urban Planning Commission on October 21st.
