Three Property Owners Block Cable Car Project Over Pont Tibetà
Despite approvals from six of nine affected landowners, opposition from the holdouts halts construction in Canillo, with mayor citing principled disagreement over technical issues.
Key Points
- Three of nine property owners refuse overflight rights, blocking cable car project over Pont Tibetà.
- Six owners have approved; full consent required for Canillo commune to proceed.
- Mayor Jordi Alcobé calls opposition principled, not technical.
- Project enhances connectivity but faces uncertain future without resolution.
Three property owners affected by the proposed cable car route over Pont Tibetà continue to oppose the project, preventing its construction despite agreements from others.
The Canillo commune requires overflight rights from all affected landowners to proceed with the cable car, which is planned as the most direct route impacting the fewest private interests. While six of the nine affected property owners have granted approval, the remaining three refuse to cede those rights, according to reports from local media. If their opposition persists, the project cannot move forward.
Canillo's mayor, Jordi Alcobé, acknowledged the impasse, stating that full consent from all owners is essential. He described the disagreement as more a matter of principle than technical concerns, suggesting the holdouts oppose the cable car itself rather than specific details.
The initiative has faced ongoing challenges in negotiations, with the commune seeking ways to resolve the deadlock. No alternative routes have been publicly discussed, as the current path minimises private land disruptions.
Authorities have not provided a timeline for resolution, leaving the project's future uncertain. The cable car aims to link areas across the Tibetà bridge area in the parish, enhancing local connectivity.
