Construction work on Pere Llobet street in the El Coll neighborhood of Barcelona, with scaffolding and orange safety barriers.

Transformation works on Pere Llobet street, in Barcelona's El Coll neighborhood, start this Monday with the aim of improving accessibility and expanding pedestrian space.

The transformation works on Pere Llobet street, in the El Coll neighborhood of the Gràcia district, between Portell street and Plaça de la Laguna de Lanao, begin this Monday. The project is expected to last approximately five months.
The main objective is to increase pedestrian space and improve accessibility. To achieve this, the existing row of parking spaces will be partially removed to widen the sidewalks. Additionally, the sewage system and lighting will be renovated, telephone wiring will be buried, and new vegetation and street furniture will be installed.
These works will completely transform the street, located in an area with steep slopes between Turó del Carmel and Creueta del Coll.
The rehabilitation of Pere Llobet street is part of five transformation projects planned for the Gràcia district during this term, under the 'Pla Endreça'. Other initiatives include improving access to the neighborhood from Carmel and the renovation of Plaça de Flandes, which is nearing completion. In the Vila de Gràcia neighborhood, the transformation of the Jardinets de Gràcia stands out.
These actions are part of the municipal strategy for public space rehabilitation and complement the comprehensive maintenance tasks carried out in all city districts to enhance the quality of streets and squares.
