The rehabilitation of the Dr. Galvez Bus Stop (La Palma) began in 2016. Its objective is to restore the existing public space, creating a dignified space for the area. This would not only benefit the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods but also a large portion of the population who use it to travel from that point, as it is an important communication hub between two of the most important avenues in the southern part of Mexico City.
The goal is also to increase the security of the area, as the site is, in a sense, unsafe due to the lack of lighting and limited security.
The project also aims to rehabilitate a historic space that was gradually taken over by street vendors. It is worth mentioning that the Convent of Carmen is located on the adjacent block. The proposal includes the reorganization of public transportation routes (buses on different routes), rearranging sidewalks to increase user safety when taking buses on different routes, and improving sidewalks to prevent street vendors. The plan is to level the land for proper drainage and replace the pavements with materials that require lower maintenance costs. It also includes improving pedestrian crossings and redesigning green areas, preserving the trees and palm trees currently on the site.
The landscaping was completed in 2022, with the aim of visually integrating the entire bus stop. The proposal was based on the natural curves that define the site. Sidewalk lines are proposed in reference to the current curvature.
The pavement design is intended to provide an image of integrity throughout the bus stop. With the principle of providing safety and environmental quality to the user, the lighting project prioritizes the pedestrian level, without neglecting the primary use of the site. The lighting project includes a single type of luminaire, which has been used in other urban rehabilitation projects and meets the needs of the site. This luminaire for sidewalk lighting is spot-on, yet sufficient, and placed at a distance so as not to leave unlit areas and dazzle users.
The vehicular lighting was replaced with more appropriate lighting, including pedestrian arms to illuminate the periphery of the bus stop and the sidewalks at a pedestrian level.
The lighting project's main objective is to create a safe environment and visual permeability during daylight hours when natural light is lacking. Light intensity, as well as its photometric graph, is very important to provide adequate illumination without creating shadows or poorly lit areas. Therefore, a fifty-centimeter diameter open-optic luminaire is proposed for a 90W metal-additive lamp, placed six meters above the finished floor level.
