Rubio also stressed ‘the good harmony and maximum collaboration between the Consell de Mallorca and Cort, in order to make this agreement possible, which we have been trying to finalise for years, as well as to promote different initiatives in the area of mobility, which we are working on with Palma City Hall’.

For his part, the Deputy Mayor for Mobility and Industrial Estates, Toni Deudero, explained that with this agreement between the Consell and Cort, which he described as ‘historic’, Palma City Hall ‘assumes the maintenance and conservation of the traffic control installations on the roads of the Consell de Mallorca, which includes the management of the eleven traffic light intersections that until now were controlled by the island’s institution. With the signing of this agreement, Cort will now manage 270, that is, all the traffic light installations in the municipality.
