The new infrastructure is seen as the opportunity to provide this major axis with a new quality.

Public spaces are created according to several sequences and procure inhabitants of the different neighborhoods with large pedestrian-friendly public spaces. The project particularly focuses on creating a network of cyclist connections and reducing the ratio of hard surfaces in one of the most dense metropolis in the world.
