This move was intended to clear Via Roma and Piazza Cavallotti to improve traffic flow and connectivity near essential services like schools and the post office. Initially, the relocation faced formal opposition from Anva Confesercenti Provincia di Pisa. Mirco Sbrolli, the provincial president, argued the new location was unsuitable due to issues with accessibility, visibility, and pedestrian flow, stating the choice failed to account for the needs of market operators. ~~However,~~ Following experimental phases and public consultations involving citizens, local merchants, and street vendor associations, the administration proceeded with the ~~relocation, which followed experimental phases~~ plan.
