Coyoacán Removes 70 Tons of Obstructions in Latest Public Space Recovery Operation

The operation used heavy machinery to remove obstructions from public thoroughfares as part of an ongoing effort to uphold collective urban rights.

Overview

  • Over a two-day campaign in Ajusco and Los Culhuacanes, municipal teams removed 70 tons of objects, including stones, planters, metal structures and concrete-filled drums, from sidewalks and vehicle lanes.
  • Authorities issued 26 warnings to owners of abandoned vehicles, towed two cars and notified four households for storing personal items on public spaces.
  • Legal Affairs, Public Works and Urban Services divisions, supported by the Secretariat of Citizen Security, deployed heavy machinery such as traxcavos to lift and haul away large obstructions.
  • A parallel outreach drive emphasized that frontages of private homes are part of the public way, urging residents to keep personal belongings indoors.
  • Led by Aurora Monserrat Cruz Ramírez under the Escudo Coyoacán program, the operation reaffirms the borough’s permanent policy to reclaim and preserve collective urban rights.
