The Secretariat of Infrastructure (Seinfra) deployed crews to 34 neighborhoods for pothole repairs, drainage cleaning and public‑lighting upkeep, tackling streets such as Jardim Cidade Universitária, Cabo Branco, Mangabeira and Rangel. Simultaneously, the Special Municipal Urban Cleaning Agency (Emlur) carried out capination, mowing, curb painting and sweeping in districts including Cabo Branco, Valentina, Mangabeira and Parque Parahyba II.
