The sight of raised sidewalks, broken tiles, and steep unevenness is common in many streets of Badalona, a problem that has persisted for years without comprehensive improvement actions being taken.

This situation is not merely an aesthetic or urban maintenance issue; it has become a serious safety hazard. Pedestrian falls are frequent, and complaints regarding public road accidents are among the most received by the Badalona City Council.

The most affected groups include the elderly, families with strollers, and residents with reduced mobility. Despite the high number of claims, most complaints filed by citizens who have suffered a fall do not result in a favorable resolution, causing frustration.

Residents point out that tree roots lifting the pavement and poorly finished works contribute to the feeling of abandonment. Citizens are now demanding a comprehensive sidewalk maintenance and renovation plan to ensure accessibility and quality of life in Badalona.
