Overview
- State authorities replanned the Morebús alignment after the governor ordered a halt to tree cutting in Tres Puentes, cutting the number of trees slated for transplant in that segment from 49 to 27 to be moved by specialists.
- Officials say the project identified 613 plant specimens in the route’s zone of influence and that many are smaller plants or shrubs rather than large trees.
- The government launched a compensation package that includes planting 32,000 trees and reported spending 1.3 million pesos on environmental remediation to support recovery and new green space.
- A federal district court resolution did not order a suspension of the works, and the state says construction will proceed under environmental lineamientos with technical replanting and protections for existing medians.
- Neighbors and environmental groups have organized guardias ciudadanas, tree‑hugging and protests to stop removals, expressing distrust of officials and warning that reforestation takes decades and may not replace mature urban canopy quickly.
