The project aims to redesign the public space of the Avenida da Boavista, improving its accessibility and qualifying the urban environment. The overall program for the intervention contemplates the two lanes of the avenue with different directions, the central separator, parking bands, landscape and pedestrian circulation. The solution also proposes creating a cycle lane along the street and an underground parking garage located under the avenue between Guerra Junqueiro Street and the intersection with Pedro Hispano Street.
