 Highlights include the extensions of the avenues Mayor-16 of September and Juárez, which were no longer sufficient for the growing number of cars that, day by day, circulated through the city center.Thus, to enlarge the avenues it was necessary to break down buildings and match the street stroke.These demolitions have not ceased to generate controversy, because, although efforts to modernize and expedite the center of Guadalajara are not regrettable, the irreparable loss of many old buildings with architectural and historical value is unfortunate.
