“Cali has a public space deficit. For this reason, 25th Street must become a space for athletes or pedestrians. The approval of this popular action is a triumph for the city because we must bet on a green Cali, without places invaded by abandoned vehicles,” said councilor Juan Martín Bravo.
According to the judge’s order, within a period of one year the place must be free of vehicles, bodies and abandoned vehicles, rubble, garbage and any other element that obstructs the passage.
