Initially, the ‘Corredores de Excelência’ program launched intensive operations in the Catete neighborhood, specifically targeting Rua Silveira Martins. This effort involved coordinated work from multiple agencies, including Comlurb, Rioluz, and the Municipal Guard, to provide street cleaning, drain clearing, tree pruning, and lighting maintenance. The maintenance efforts subsequently expanded to include Rua Hilário de Gouveia in Copacabana under the same ‘Corredores de Excelência’ framework. Additionally, the ‘Comunidade de Responsa’ program was deployed to the Pavão Pavãozinho and Cantagalo communities. This secondary operation utilized over 100 workers to perform specialized sanitation tasks, such as using rappelling techniques for debris removal in narrow alleys and slopes, as well as hydraulic cleaning of roads. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Rio de Janeiro launches integrated urban maintenance in South Zone Rio de Janeiro authorities have launched integrated maintenance operations in Copacabana and the Pavão Pavãozinho and Cantagalo communities to improve urban cleaning and infrastructure. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rio-de-janeiro-launches-integrated-urban-maintenance-in-south-zone ### 2026-08-13: Rio de Janeiro launches urban maintenance program in Catete Rio de Janeiro has launched the ‘Corredores de Excelência’ program in Catete, deploying integrated municipal teams to perform intensive urban maintenance on Rua Silveira Martins. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rio-de-janeiro-launches-urban-maintenance-program-in-catete --- Cite as: Rio de Janeiro urban maintenance programs.
