The Municipal Assembly of Lisbon (AML) approved on Tuesday the Pedestrian Accessibility Plan, an initiative that provides for 100 measures, by 2017, to facilitate mobility in the capital. Some of these measures involve the creation of more pedestrian crossings, cycle tracks and the downgrade of some tours. <span title=”Mas há outra que está a suscitar muita polémica.

“>For the Defense Association of Heritage Lisbon, “this measure is unacceptable” and therefore, according to the broadcaster, have announced they will hold a petition to prevent the traditional pavement is removed.

In the TSF, the councilman of social rights, João Afonso, said that the withdrawal of that floor will only be done in places that it constitutes a danger.

I would hate to see them do this. It would somehow diminish the beauty of the city. We will see, I guess.
