    The action consisted of improving the accessibility of the street giving priority to pedestrians by extending the existing sidewalks, but maintaining the roadway at a different level with two directions of traffic, a street of significant influx of vehicles because it gives access to Tibidabo. The accesses to the funicular station were executed as passing sidewalks, i.e. the height of the pedestrian crossings with respect to the projected sidewalk is the same. The pedestrian crossing from Pep Ventura Square is the extension of the sidewalk to the station with concrete pieces, because the cars that want to join Alberes Street from Queralt Street will circulate. The overpass that perpendicularly crosses Alberes Street is made of agglomerate to give continuity to the road surface and resistance to the continuous passage of vehicles. This type of overpass is run again up to 5 times along the entire street. The first section includes from the intersection with the street Queralt to the street of Algarver; it is executed by the south side a sidewalk of 1,30 m of width the most critical point with the endowment of lighting and burying of the aerial line of low tension, telephony and lighting. The north side sidewalk has a total width of 1.50 m and a constant carriageway of 5.30 m and an overhang curve of 6.00 m up to the intersection with calle Queralt. In the curve galvanized steel handrails were placed on the north sidewalk to ensure pedestrian safety. In the second section, two sidewalks with a minimum width of 2.00 m on each side and a constant carriageway of 5.50 m were built. The interceptions with the streets of Gabriel Ferrater and Can Basseda are solved with 8 cm thick panot passageways and prefabricated fords in 0.57 m T3 type pavements.
