Overview

• The measure, signed on Oct. 6 and slated for publication on Oct. 7, authorizes auctions or concessions of select streets and public lots across the city.
• Mayor Ricardo Nunes vetoed four of eight council amendments, including a 20-year grant of a 642 m² South Zone lot to an association led by Councilor Silvinho Leite’s mother, calling the decision technical as both deny wrongdoing.
• The package includes the Travessa Engenheiro Antônio de Souza Barros Júnior in Jardins, where the city estimates R$ 25 million from that passage and a nearby access way, with a private developer seen as the likely bidder.
• If the Jardins sale goes through, the passage would no longer be open to pedestrians, though the state has declared nearby properties of public utility for the planned Line 16‑Violeta Nove de Julho station, creating overlap with municipal plans.
• Nunes said any metro interest would require acquisition at market value, and the law also covers sites in the East Zone and Pirituba for social and sports uses, plus a lot at Faria Lima and Juscelino Kubitschek without a defined project.
