Overview
- A provincial administrative court deemed the plan reasonable and proportional under a local security emergency declared in 2023.
- The pilot will install 15 gates in Pan de Azúcar and Lomas Sur, closing select secondary streets from 22:00 to 06:00 under municipal staff control.
- The municipality plans procurement and design work in January and February with priority for local suppliers, ahead of the February–March rollout.
- The broader security program includes 300 public cameras and eight additional patrol vehicles to establish safer corridors.
- Opposition groups and residents argue the closures restrict free movement and lack proven efficacy, and they will appeal as the city assesses whether to expand the measure based on pilot results.
