Plaça del Mercat: New paving, old questions – how Palma's center can really be modernized

Answer

Could traffic be pushed into neighbouring streets during the Plaça del Mercat works?

That is one of the main concerns. If access is not well managed, traffic and delivery vehicles could spill into nearby streets such as Carrer de Sant Miquel and Plaça Mayor, creating extra pressure there.
