In Palma, the City Council has initiated the relocation of the Blanquerna bicycle lane to 31 de Desembre Street. This decision follows a mobility audit that designated the Blanquerna route as a “major conflict point” regarding safety and the coexistence of cyclists, pedestrians, and outdoor terraces.

Initial work involves installing signage and road markings, including parking prohibitions, to establish a provisional route along the even-numbered side of 31 de Desembre Street through Abu Yahyay Square and Francesc Suau Street. This temporary path is expected to be operational by early December, after which the existing Blanquerna lane will be removed. The city intends to implement a permanent lane on the opposite side of 31 de Desembre Street following a formal design and bidding process.
