The Science City Boulevard became the initial public investment for the implementation of a direct vehicular, pedestrian and bicycling connection between Science City and Centro Médico through the Cancer Center site, transforming a series of fragmented and discontinued properties into a cohesive urban fabric linked to Centro Médico and to Tren Urbano mass transit system. This Boulevard was designed to become the first green infrastructure project on-island, duly integrating stormwater management principles in its design with landscape initiatives to provide a sensitive tropical environment for all users. The project was awarded first place at the Bienal of the Colegio de Arquitectos in 2013.
