A few years ago, António Santos was at a Conference when he heard a foreign speaker say that I missed the April 25 bridge, albeit extraordinary, he didn't have a bike path or walkway.

The idea never left António's head, to the point, several years later, the Portuguese be on Genesis of AlmaLisboa, an initiative that aims to create a bike path and pedestrian passage in one of the most incredible infrastructure of Portugal, the bridge 25 April.

At the outset, it is a simple idea. It is not necessary to the coming of a foreign speaker, certainly, to realize the potential of the bridge to soft modes. But the truth is that, sometimes, a different look puts issues, so obvious, we would remember.

According to António Santos, the idea would make Lisbon in a city more modern and appealing â€" for its locals and tourists â€" in addition to contributing to environmental sustainability and transport.

The bike path and pedestrian passage could use the train's Board, without harming any movement: automobile or train. "It's a sin not to take advantage of the available space. It serves to people travelling and increase mobility in the soft modes. And serves to the very structure of maintenance and upkeep of the bridge using the two ways to carry out their work, "explained the charge to green economy.

Although the idea is far from being achieved, the truth is that in the genesis of this was a conference where someone saw, unselfishly, beyond. See what you can learn at confere nces that take place every day in Portugal?
