Colombia is the country famous for having public mechanical stairs in more mountainous urban areas . Now Vigo’s mayor, Abel Caballero, has started to copy this idea for the notoriously hilly city he governs.
I had no clue what the public works in Gran Via were, but apparently is one huge set of magic carpets to go all the way from Urzais to Nicaragua. That’s 43m of elevation over 500m.
There’s also a new bicycle path on Venezuela... Which was actually used a lot. Mayor Caballero is the president of the Spanish association for municipalities, a professor of economics, and in general sort of like a more moderate Spanish Bernie Sanders. He’s 76, and a former member of the Spanish Communist Party. Now he governs one of the largest cities of the overall conservative province of galicia.

The obvious solution is to put planters with trees ON the moving sidewalk for shade on the go!

I wonder what long term maintenance costs will be like. Or how they handle wheelchair access.

Given the number of stairs, just as screwed. Wheelchair access seems to be very hit or miss with most older areas unsuited for ramps etc

I wonder if they would be able to use those combination stairs and ramps, where the ramp runs left/right across the stairs.
Mostly just thinking out loud here.

I’ve read (anecdotally on reddit, of course), that accessibility abroad isn’t near what it is in America.

I wouldn't doubt that. I guess we all have to start somewhere.
