Work on altering the Paseo Marítimo in Palma will begin within a month, the contract for the work having been signed on Monday. The budget is 37,598,985 euros plus IVA (VAT); the work will take twenty months. Antoni Verger, head of planning and infrastructure at the Balearic Ports Authority, says that there will not be any cuts to traffic but that there will be detours.
Work on Palma's new Paseo Marítimo will start within four weeks
Changing an urban highway into more of a promenade
A project conceived during the period of the first Palma town hall PSOE-Més-Podemos administration from 2015, a principal intention is to convert the road from what at present is essentially an urban highway into a promenade that can coexist with traffic, giving priority to pedestrians and to cyclists.

Building the Railway through to Arta and beyond would be a better use of the money to be spent on the Promenade.
I wonder if it will include any tracks for the new tram. :-)
