Visible information: It is a cross between two streets, and it is concurred because it has a light. There are only business in the area: car repairs, fish shop, dental office, copy shop, printer. There are electricity cables over the area. The sidewalk does not continue when it crosses the street. There are no signs painted on the street. Every building in one level high. Invisible information: Although is a concurred street with business, there is no public transportation or any bus station on the street, what means that there are no routes going there. The fact that there are only day-light businesses in the area, means that in the afternoon and during the night, there is no activity in the street, and that can be traduced as insecurity. The information about the lack of night activity can be used to improve this area of the city. If we increase the density of the zone, growing these buildings by two or three more levels, we can bring housing and convert them into multi-usage buildings. These will also bring people and movement all the time.
