Overview
- A federal three-judge panel ordered a provisional stop to building the Puebla Cablebús until a complete environmental impact or mitigation study is filed.
- The pause stems from amparo case 362/2026 brought by the Colectivo Hermanos Serdán and residents, who say the state withheld information and shut out meaningful public input.
- The tribunal said the petitioners have not yet proven concrete damage and clarified the ruling does not mean trees were already cut, calling the measure preventive.
- Puebla’s government said it will deliver the final “cinemática” report on March 31 to define any tree impact and pledged to transplant affected trees, estimating about 116 would move.
- The order replaces an earlier denial by a lower court and now stands as a temporary safeguard, with any definitive halt to be decided after the studies are on file.
