A section of Avenida de Mayo, stretching from 9 de Julio to Luis Sáenz Peña, is reportedly deteriorating with numerous businesses closing and prominent buildings falling into disrepair. The Asociación Amigos de la Avenida (Friends of the Avenue Association) has voiced concerns about the street’s declining state. They have submitted a proposal to the city government aimed at revitalizing the area and attracting visitors. The proposal seeks to address the visible signs of neglect and reverse the trend of business closures. The association hopes to restore the avenue to its former glory as a vibrant and important part of Buenos Aires. The initiative highlights the challenges of preserving historic urban spaces facing economic hardship. The city’s response to the proposal is currently unknown.
