Brazilian navy installs grids and prevents access to Olympic legacy

At various points there are signs indicating that the Olympic Boulevard is a military area in Rio de Janerio, Brazil on December 21, 2016. The bars, besides limiting the access to the place, leave the tourist area of the City Center less pleasant to the visitors. The Brazilian Navy, which before the Olympics had ceded part of the seafront in the downtown area of the city to install the Olympic Boulevard, installed grills blocking the population's access to various areas that had been renovated and built with public funds Taxes of residents and businessmen of Rio de Janeiro). Even the ocean view was limited with the bars. The unpopular measure of the Navy caused great repercussion of the local press and now the Navy studies to release a part of which it had transformed in private parking for its vehicles.
