SFM has not published an analysis of a plot to Cala Ratjada years after receiving análisi SFM hired for 350,000 euros in April 2009
Alternative to Rail Association calls on SFM (Ferroviaris Serveis de Mallorca), CTM (Consortium of Transports de Mallorca) and the Department of Transportation to publish studies of alternative routes and mode of the line Arta - Cala Ratjada the cost and feasibility analysis. The contract for this study was published in the BOIB 52 of 09.04.2009 an amount of 350.00 Euros. According to the BOIB the contractor had to deliver the results of studies in six months, ie a maximum in late October 2009. For almost a year that this analysis should be made public.
The results of this study condition the railway construction project Manacor to Arta, because in the Railway Transport Plan Balearic this line was referred to Cala Millor Cala Ratjada through. If there are pieces of track where the form is poor because there are railway transport modes more efficient public, as the bus, the construction of the line to Arta is not economically or environmentally viable and socially and would have to stop the execution of the work.
De Arta Cala Ratjada provides public transportation by train, you have to build a new road layout, and this has important environmental costs. Therefore we request the release of the results of the analysis of the path and mode of the line Arta - Cala Ratjada.
The Association covers the application on the grounds that the provisions of Act 27/2006 of 18 July, which regulates the rights of access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental matters. The route to Cala Ratjada is a vital issue for the environment and if you build a new railway line will have very serious effects on the environment. The public must be informed of the process and must be able to participate. Remember that the path from Manacor to Arta also has a permanent and irretrievable environmental impact and that this train is destroying the rural environment Llevant de Mallorca.
The tram train to Manacor Arta is not justified
From Alternative to Rail Association - Network of Llevant Mobilitat, we recall that the train from Manacor to Arta is not justified because it is built without any basis to suggest that is the best mode of transport for the region, and have not been carried out the analysis on the different modes of public transport (train or bus).
In other areas, such as the Camp de Tarragona, there dissertations that militate against the implementation of railway and tramway for its high impact on the area, the low flexibility of travel, low population density and the spread of this and because there are other modes of public transport more cost effective.
In early September, the association asked CTM, SFM and the general direction of mobility, the new studies of mobility Antoni Verger, general director of mobility, announced that they had made a interview with members of the association. This information has not been submitted to the association. You have to take into account, however, that these studies, if any, were made after the tender for the execution of Arta train, so this project is being implemented without any basis justifies it.
