What the square lacks mostly is shade - trees, more exactly. Secondly, a better balance between accessible and inaccessible areas and the flows between them. Defined by the street grid and the several objects/artworks dotted along its axis, the square's sections remain broadly the same under the proposed layout, flanked and unified, however, by double rows of trees, set along the main walking and transit routes.

The proposal also envisages measures to prevent illegal parking, traffic calming measures on secondary streets and harmonization of paving and pedestrian solutions with those in the square areas.
