Via Laietana is to become an avenue where pedestrians and sustainable mobility take priority: a greener street, with more commerce and more space to stroll in.

Pavements are to be widened to 4 metres along the whole avenue. Two bus and taxi lanes will be kept in both directions and the avenue will become a cyclable street: a bike lane will be created in the upward direction, separated from the traffic lane, with a shared bus and bike lane in the downward direction.

Improvements will also be made to connections with the Gòtic and Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighbourhoods, with more pedestrian crossings. Four large public spaces will be developed along the street: one at the junction between Via Laietana and Carrer de Jonqueres (which will be traffic-calmed), one in Plaça d’Antoni Maura (joining up the Cathedral and the Mercat de Santa Caterina), one in Plaça de l’Àngel, and a new square, Plaça d’Idrissa Diallo.

Born in Havana, studied music, electronic and later photography. I confess myself in love with Cuba, its people and the nature around, is magic, is colourful and contagious. The further I learn about light, the more deep I go into our essence. This is my homage to this sincere island in the Caribbean.
