Figurative patterns from the historical roots of Izmir were worked on the elevated pedestrian crossing. Considering the access of disabled and elderly citizens, the roads and pavements were brought to the same level. Thus, while the area gained the appearance of a mini square, it was also possible for pedestrians to cross the street without going up and down the sidewalks.
