Barcelona City Council stopped work on the stairs intended to save the rails at the junction of the tram lines along Diagonal Avenue at Castillejos Street. On this side of the Fort Pienc neighborhood they are already known as the stairs of shame.
A few days ago, La Vanguardia echoed the discomfort of many neighbors who understand that the planned steps will be too steep, that people with mobility problems or who are pushing a baby stroller or shopping cart will not be able to overcome them, that the The City Council should put in a lighter staircase and also a ramp.
“In response to neighborhood demands – municipal sources underline – a rethinking of that area of ??the work is being studied to have a more satisfactory final development that improves safety, crossing and pedestrian routes.” Neighbors are eager to find out about these changes as soon as possible. Some already hung a few protest banners, but they didn’t turn out well and what they wrote was not understood from the street. Now they are making more elaborate ones with some templates. And these days members of Junts, BComú, ERC and the PP passed by there.
“We assume that the City Council will present the project modifications to us before the Eixample district plenary session on the 7th – there are many in the Fort Pienc neighborhood association – because otherwise they will have a big mess with the opposition.
