The project, led by the municipal company Egarvia, saw ERC voting against it, while PSC and PP opted for abstention. Critics highlighted concerns over a potential lawsuit from the BiTer association and questioned the lack of a mandatory environmental impact study for the city center's pedestrian zone.
“"Since 2019, the Council has thrown thousands of euros down a hole for maintenance; the parking lot is the most viable and efficient option."
Deputy Mayor Xavier Cardona defended the 10.9 million euro investment, stating that Egarvia will be debt-free by 2026 and capable of managing the new loan. The government argues that the facility will provide over 200 parking spots, meeting a high demand from residents and visitors in Terrassa.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with surface urbanization following in 2029. The local administration confirmed that the project will move forward despite legal threats, emphasizing that the ZBE (Low Emission Zone) regulations do not prohibit non-polluting vehicles from entering the center.
