Tomeu Mas, president of the local restaurants association, says that "we do not disagree with the plan and the measures, but we ask that no decision is made so long as there is no alternative for parking".
The town hall has ruled out expanding the Passeig Mallorca underground car park, so there is only one option - a car park under the area that the petrol station on Plaça Progrés currently occupies. This, however, would take some time. The petrol station remains open for now, despite the licence having expired and town hall notification that it must close.
Mas adds that the town hall has stated that it will look for agreement with businesses and residents before traffic measures are implemented, but experience elsewhere - C. Unió and C. Bonaire - makes the restaurant owners fear for the worst.

Or, or...here's a crazy idea...even better, stop drinking and driving. Leave the cars home, come with public transport or taxi, get drunk, sit back into the taxi and go home, don't drive drunk. And this way you'll also make the residents happy, that they come home from work and they have parking place and are not forced to park on the yellow and get fined (because police doesn't look if you are resident and have ora, nor if you barely walk but drive your car or scooter)...I know, it's a crazy idea...
