The plan includes the creation of a large waterfront plaza, the pedestrianization of Sirena Street, and an underground car park to replace the traffic-filled areas and the dry marina. A surface car park exclusively for residents will also be created, with the aim of reducing the pressure generated by the coexistence of leisure, tourism, and neighborhood life.
