Which nation is turning one of its busy roads into a haven for pedestrians and bicyclists?

Answer: Mexico

A busy road in Mexico City, Mexico — Avenida Chapultepec — will be reclaimed by pedestrians and bikes after a redesign blocks vehicles from entry. The proposed design features a lush elevated park and crisscrossing pathways for bike and foot traffic. Vehicle traffic would be pushed aside to make more room for the promenade.

Fernando Romero Enterprise, the firm that made the new design, said it will "transform the context by recovering its history" and make the space a place where people can meet and enjoy.

Construction is scheduled for completion by 2017.
