after the elections, the mayor will continue being Ada Colau, despite ending in second place this time. the whole situation is much more complicated than that, but there's a clear majority by left-wing parties, so the plan will most likely continue

I would say the plan is unlikely to continue unless Ada really really really wants it and she's ok dropping something else instead (I was going to cheekily say she might drop her righteous crusade against CIEs, but she dropped it as soon as she won 4 years ago, sadly)

Right-wing parties, such as C's, that she needs to pass on anything, are against superblocks. Her left-wing rivals on the indy side would probably be against it too just for the sake of leverage.
