The Superilles program in Sant Antoni, the transformation under way
In the last quarter of 2017, the Superilles program in San Antonio goes one step ahead with the first actions of urbanization of the public space around the market and continues to work with the concretion of improvements in other streets in the area.

Consensus proposals in the participatory process
The works begin after a process of debate with the neighbors, traders and entities of the environment that began in February 2017, with the constitution of the driving group.
This group, made up of people and entities representing the neighborhood, has been working from the beginning jointly with the City Council of Barcelona, ​​with the aim of configuring the proposal of the Superilles model in this space .
In this participatory process, the AFA and district, neighborhood and group traders also participated, who have intervened in the analysis and design of the interventions and have collaborated to adapt the model to the characteristics of the area and the specific needs of the neighborhood.
As a result of this process, several short and long-term intervention proposals have been made that will coincide with the entry into operation of the Sant Antoni Market. The consensus proposal, with 2019 horizon, includes urbanization with gains of public space for pedestrians and improvements to public spaces.

Improvement of market environments
The main action consists in the pacification of the streets of Tamarit and Count Borrell, which is carried out in two phases. The first phase affects the sections of the streets of Count Borrell (between the streets of Floridablanca and Manso) and of Tamarit (between the streets of Viladomat and Urgell), which form part of the perimeter of the Sant Antoni Market.
They are actions that fuse the space of the streets with that of the new places recovered from the market and that formerly were inner courtyards without a public use. This is, therefore, the recovery of a total of 10,196 square meters of public spaces.
As for the vegetation, the Eixample's own landscaping is maintained and bush species are planted in different groups of different species. On the street of Tamarit, between the streets of the Comte d'Urgell and Comte Borrell, the space that is wins on the sidewalk is destined for the pergolas of the new Sunday market.
The planned intervention in the public thoroughfare also includes the creation of a large public square at the junction of the streets of Tamarit and Comte Borrell. The urbanization of this space with regard to mobility does not allow motor vehicles to cross the square (with the exception of emergency vehicles). In this area, traffic that has its origin or destination in the buildings of the surroundings, at low speed and in coexistence with the bicycles, circulates there. Pedestrians have all the priority, and in fact it is a space designed so that it can host citizen acts and meetings.
