Proposal Pedestrian and Cycling Map

Avenida Brasil at the moment it is rather unattractive in every aspect. It is a major physical barrier for people wanting to cross it. There are too many transport lanes, which are not being used effectively, and almost no space for people. Thus, the main goal of the proposal is to turn Avenida Brasil into a backbone of the local neighborhoods, by reducing the traffic, implying an effective system of public transportation, and dedicating at least a half of its width for people.
