In June, the city of Florence will resurface 2,500 square metres of city streets, continuing its pledge to improve the condition of roads following a winter campaign that identified approximately 3,000 “holes”.
Work is expected to begin in early June in piazza Indipendenza (road surface only), piazza della Libertà, viale Matteotti, via La Marmora, via degli Orti Oricellari, via Toselli (footpaths too), via Maragliano, viale del Galoppo and via del Visarno, via Valfonda and viale Strozzi, piazzale Donatello, via Marsilio Ficino, viale Lavagnini, via Leone X and viale Lorenzo il Magnifico.

The city administration has also announced its intention to improve street surfaces, to the tune of 300,000 euro in Quartiere 1 (via Ridolfi, via dei Gori and via Guicciardini); while 550,000 euro will be spent on improvements in Quartieri 2 and 3 (including via Aretina Nuova, viale Fanti, viale Milton, viadotto Marco Polo, via Chiantigiana, piazza Francia, via delle Lame, via Coluccio Salutati and via Giovanni delle Bande Nere); and the same amount in Quartiere 4 and 5.
The autumn is expected to bring improvements to piazza della Repubblica, piazza San Marco and piazza dei Nerli.
