The biggest initiative will be a €80 million overhaul of the Playa de Palma promenade covering 80,000 m2.
Improvements are also pencilled in for the Avenida and Plaza de las Meravelles,
Martinez- hosting a news conference in the plaza- said the projects were not ‘set in stone’ and changes could be made after consulting residents and local associations.
Other plans include increasing the number of BiciPalma stations to 13- offering bicycle hires and shares.
The council also wants to set up park-and-ride areas next to the motorway.
There will also be a move to modernise accommodation as well as eliminating illegal tourist lets.
Other sectors for investments include sustainability, mobility, sports, and cultural events.
