From June 2022 to November 2023.

C/ Pi i Margall will be transformed into a green corridor where plants prevail and which prioritises pedestrians, bicycles and public transport. Not only that, it will become a new green corridor connecting Parc de la Ciutadella with the Collserola range.

One of the notable aspects of the remodelling is the elimination of asphalt and reduction of space allocated to traffic. In fact, 70% of the whole area will be for pedestrians and greenery, resting areas will be created and pavements widened, to 12 metres at some points.

As for mobility, priority will be given to local vehicle and bus travel, with speeds limited to 30 km/hr. There will be an uphill lane for buses and local traffic, as well as a new segregated bike lane, and a shared downhill lane for buses, local traffic and bicycles.
