The Moura City Council will invest around €2 million in the requalification of an avenue.

The municipal council of Moura, in the district of Beja, will redevelop one of the city's entrances, in an investment exceeding 2 million euros, to improve “urban quality and mobility”.

According to the municipality of Alentejo, the redevelopment project for Avenida dos Bombeiros Voluntários, approved last week at a municipal executive meeting, is planned within the scope of the Integrated Territorial Investment of Baixo Alentejo 2021-2027.

The work will focus essentially on the stretch between Largo da Latôa and the beginning of Avenida dos Bombeiros Voluntários, with “the creation of a continuous pedestrian structure” planned, the municipality explained in a statement.

The road will have “circulation channels made of safer and more comfortable materials, promoting better accessibility and safety conditions for all users,” it indicated.

“The introduction of vegetation along the avenue is also a central component of the intervention,” the municipality continued, explaining that this option “aims to regulate pedestrian flows between both sides of the road.”

This option also makes it possible to “create protective barriers associated with the circulation of children and the elderly and to provide the street with shaded areas, contributing to the mitigation of the high temperatures felt during the hottest periods of the year,” it reads.

The city council recalled that Avenida dos Bombeiros Voluntários “is a reference urban axis in Moura, also serving as one of the main gateways' to the city.”
