On Monday, June 22, 2026, the Puebla state government addressed concerns about the environmental impact of the upcoming Cablebús project by revealing that the physical footprint on four municipal properties will be minimal—just 1.61% of the total land area involved.

During a press conference led by Governor Alejandro Armenta, the Secretary of Sustainable Development detailed the land use for stations and related infrastructure, aiming to clear up recent debates over the project’s effect on public parks and green spaces.

Here’s the breakdown of the four sites under a comodato agreement approved by Puebla’s City Council with a 17-0 vote:

– **Parque Juárez:** 45,109 m² total, with 3,009 m² (6.67%) affected
– **Parque Biblioteca:** 25,090 m² total, with 6,721 m² (26.79%) affected
– **Cerro de Amalucan:** 747,178 m² total, with only 2,999 m² (0.40%) affected
– **Mayorazgo:** 1,101 m² total, with 448 m² (40.72%) affected

The Cerro de Amalucan stands out for preserving over 99% of its area, underscoring the project’s careful approach to environmental stewardship. Meanwhile, the Mayorazgo site will host one of the new stations, expanding the Cablebús line to a total length of 14.58 kilometers.

This expansion positions the Cablebús as one of Puebla’s most ambitious mobility projects, promising to enhance urban transit while respecting green spaces. The government emphasized that more than 98% of the land involved will remain untouched, with construction focused on specific zones for stations and access points.

For migrants and urban dwellers alike, this means improved connectivity with minimal disruption to the city’s cherished parks—an example of how infrastructure can advance inclusively and sustainably.
