2) On our following point we'll get to experience one of the city's innovated "ELECTRIC ESCALATORS". One of the primary goals of these projects was to improve accessibility for residents living in the city's marginalized communities, they help connect these areas to the main public transportation network, making it easier for residents to access jobs, education, and healthcare facilities. We'll have a short and leisurely walk around the iconic ROAD-DUCT that interconnects all the neighborhoods on the superior side, which were in constant conflict with each other just a few years ago, and it has become a symbol of Comuna 13's remarkable metamorphosis, from a place controlled by violence and crime to a thriving and inspiring community.
