This street was converted into a pedestrian priority and calm transit zone area in 2014, meaning that it is intended to be a mixed-use street that caters to the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. A reduced area for vehicular traffic and a reduced speed limit for cars creates safe space for cyclists and pedestrians to take back the street. Additional changes that leveled the street and sidewalk and created more space on either side of the traffic lane for landscaping and amenities enabled more and better public life to take place on Avenida 16 de Septiembre.
