Members of the Urban Planning Council (CPU) yesterday called for the construction of two footbridges connecting the planned new Catholic Centre in the city centre so that it will be easier for pedestrians to cross the busy junction.
The Catholic Centre, located at the junction of Rua do Campo and Avenida da Praia Grande, has been vacant for over two decades.
Yesterday’s regular council meeting, held at the Transport Bureau (DSAT), included a discussion about the proposed legal development conditions for the redevelopment of the plot.
