A coalition led by Medellín's Sociedad de Mejoras Públicas (SMP), the Bellas Artes Foundation and over 20 allied institutions launched the La Serpiente project to transform Avenida La Playa into a major open-air consumption and culture corridor, El Colombiano reports.

The project seeks to restore the avenue's role as a social and economic axis of Medellín through open-air consumption and encounter spaces, according to Semana.

The read here is that La Serpiente marks a coordinated push by civic and cultural institutions to reclaim a historic artery, though the facts do not describe the avenue's current condition or how long the project will take.
