Overview

• Officials said the bays are non-exclusive public access points for boarding buses, taxis and ride-hail services, not designated sex-work zones.
• The designated areas will remove jardineras at marked spots to preserve curb access so sex workers can continue operating without blocking the bike lanes.
• Seven consultation meetings were held with sex-worker representatives and agencies for diversity, human rights and public works, and the agreed locations have been identified for preservation.
• The plan is part of the La Gran Tenochtitlán corridor along Calzada de Tlalpan and San Antonio Abad, where the broader design includes protected lanes separated by jardineras.
• Authorities are finalizing a security protocol with the city’s police, the women’s ministry, private sector and international organizations to prevent gender-based violence and tourism-related exploitation ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
