As of tomorrow, Friday, July 30, the first renovated parking area of the former Feira Field in Vila Nova de Famalicão will be available. There will be 75 spaces open to free public use next to Avenida José Manuel Marques, between the roundabouts of Rotários and D. Sancho I.
The new parking space is part of a wider intervention of urban rehabilitation that is being executed in the city of Vila Nova de Famalicão under the motto "A New Centre. A New City".
Under this intervention a rather degraded area of the city is being requalified with sustainable solutions, from more spaces for pedestrians, for social fruition and for soft modes of transport, in one of the largest public investments ever in the requalification of a public space in the city of Vila Nova de Famalicão.
After the conclusion of the works, parking in Famalicão's centre will remain the same as before the intervention, with two parks located in the centre, in Praça D. Maria II, with 107 parking spaces and Mouzinho de Albuquerque, with 184 free parking spaces. Besides these, the citizens of Famalicão currently have, except on Wednesdays, 800 free parking spaces in the Campo da Feira Park, which is approximately 300 metres from the city's central square.
Due to the progress of the works, the provisional access between Rua José Azevedo Menezes and Rua do Ferrador will be closed. Similarly, Rua D. Pedro V will be closed to traffic as of 2 August for an estimated period of 90 days. Loading and unloading to Pichelaria Mouzinho will be safeguarded.
