Other elements included in the project are creating more vegetation zones, the rehabilitation of the parapet of the beach, placing new street furniture or remodelling the space port at the beginning of the esplanade. With these interventions 'are confident that the esplanade reaches the level of quality to which we had committed ourselves to the front line and overcome its shortcomings.' The project will be implemented by the City Council, but report that is being negotiated the return of part of the investment by the Department of Roads of the Consell because the swap to be held between the first line and the ring road (now still municipally owned after eight years of implementation). In the specification 'determinations to ensure the solvency of the construction company to avoid situations like those created this last winter, and a lead time to run between November and Easter will.' According to point from the Consistory the project has already been discussed with the opposition parties and tourist and residents of Port de Pollença associations and 'in the coming weeks will show the general public.
