Connected Tramway

This alternative starts at the final stop of the Trambaix line located in Plaça de Francesc Macià, from where it turns towards C/ Comte d’Urgell, where it continues until it turns along C/ Provença, which it travels along up to Diagonal. From this point on it coincides with alternative 1. 

Main features:

• Connecting the Urgell stop between Còrsega - Rosselló to metro Line 5 and the future FGC line 8 to the Hospital Clínic stop, as well as the Girona - Bailèn stop’s interchange with metro line 5 at the Verdaguer stop. 
• Establishing the tramway along C/ Urgell and C/ Provença involves partially remodelling the urbanisation of the first section between Francesc Macià and Provença, and completing the second between Urgell and Diagonal, respectively. 
• The street is seen as a single-platform, calmed-traffic thoroughfare for trams, motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians all sharing the same space, thereby limiting the tramway's speed to 10-12 km/h and significantly reducing commercial speeds 
• This section involves removing the existing trees and later relocating them to the edge of the new pavement. 
• As for private-vehicle traffic, C/ Provença will, for practical purposes, disappear from the city’s road network.
