"Buscando la continuidad con la actuación de residencias del sector vecino... evitando las visiones cruzadas y poco amables con la biblioteca que no benefician ninguno de los dos programas". Part of a proposal for reforming the old centre of a town. Because it mentions the "two programmes", perhaps "cruzadas" means contrasting rather than crossed or exchanged?

conflicting views/approaches/perspectives
Sounds to me like it's talking about avoiding con conflicting approaches which will be detrimental to other elements.
Example sentence:
And we will thereby avoid conflicting approaches which will benefit neither programme.

How about 'crossed words and conflicting opinions' - along the lines of eski's suggestion? - just another option - because on reflection 'crossed swords' is perhaps not the best translation of this - cheers L :)
