Formentera City Council on a proposal of the party Gent Formentera, has approved a motion to request the competent authorities to reconsider the direct connection of the island with Dénia due to the negative impact and the collapse of vehicles generated during the high season on the island. And, despite the fact that the ships do not transport merchandise, they transport the private vehicles of the travelers, which end up generating an important collapse.
For several years, the shipping company Baleària It offers the only direct connection that connects the island with the peninsula, a route that 2015 used 75.000 people and that every year expands its services. In 2015 he made daily trips and, for the high season of 2016, which starts the next 29 in April, the company has scheduled daily connections that will double in the months of July and August.
This important flow of people to the small island has made the model of sustainable island and sure government seeks the lowest pitiusa, so the talks will focus on improving the connection to prevent such collapses totter.
The insular councilor of Mobility, Rafael González, recalled during the plenary session in which this proposal was approved that Formentera is the only port that does not have the declaration of a line of general interest that connects with the Peninsula.
