Local infrastructure and environmental management updates in Brazil

In Marília, the Municipal Secretariat of Environment and Public Services conducted tree pruning and adjustment works along Radial Leste avenue. The action aimed to clear bike lanes obstructed by thorny vegetation and improve the visibility of overhead traffic signs, including those warning of wildlife crossings near the Cascata Dam.

In Mandaguari, environmental inspectors halted earthmoving activities by Viapar on the Terra Roxa Road, a route used as a toll alternative between Mandaguari and Marialva. Although the work was intended to comply with a court order regarding private land following the end of a highway concession, officials determined the intervention lacked the necessary environmental license. The municipality of Marialva is cooperating with Mandaguari to find solutions that prevent the permanent closure of the access point, which serves approximately 300 local residents.
