Infrastructure and population management in Garrotxa

Overview

The Garrotxa County Council (CCG) has identified significant strain on regional infrastructure due to rapid population growth. President Albert Danés reported that public services designed for 40,000 residents are currently serving approximately 60,000, leading to an acute housing shortage and potential overcrowding. The council has urged the Generalitat to implement management tools to regulate growth and align it with service capacity.

In response to regional needs, the CCG has requested the Generalitat to establish a new bus line to improve connectivity. Building on the success of the existing Rumbus line, the proposed expansion would connect Olot with Argelaguer and several other municipalities. The plan includes creating connection nodes with bus stops, parking lots, and bicycle facilities to promote sustainable mobility and reduce reliance on private vehicles.
