Paseo Boricua, which stretches along Division Street from Western Avenue to Mozart, represents a microcoosm of the Puerto Rican historical and cultural experience. The 50 light poles adorned with laser-etched wrought iron banners, representing images of the three cultural experiences that define the Puerto Rican people (the Taino, Spanish and West African,) the 16 placitas along the walkway; and the variety of businesses with a Puerto Rican accent, all testify to this reality.
