Madrid Will Ban Cars From Its Main Street
Gran Vía should be car-free within three years.
Visit Madrid’s Gran Vía in five years’ time and you won’t find a car in sight.
That’s the promise coming from the Mayor Manuela Carmena this week, following a lengthy debate over the future of the city’s main street. Talking on radio network Cadena Ser on Thursday, Carmena confirmed that Madrid’s central avenue will only allow access to bikes, buses, and taxis before her term ends in May 2019.
