The Puebla government reaffirmed on Thursday, July 2, 2026, that the Cableb\u00fas urban cable car system is progressing with openness, dialogue, and coordination with local communities. This statement came after Mexico City\u2019s President Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted the importance of listening to citizens in infrastructure projects during her morning press conference. <\/p>\n
Sheinbaum, who was asked about the Cableb\u00fas initiative led by Puebla Governor Alejandro Armenta, emphasized that maintaining communication with all involved sectors is the responsibility of the state government. She recalled her own experience coordinating the construction of Mexico City\u2019s Second Level Perif\u00e9rico highway under President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador\u2019s administration, where she personally participated in around 400 community assemblies to address concerns and foster dialogue. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the cable car was built here, there were also various problems that were addressed little by little. The important thing is dialogue,\u201d Sheinbaum said, underscoring the value of citizen participation in shaping public works. <\/p>\n
Later on Thursday, Jos\u00e9 Luis Garc\u00eda Parra, Puebla\u2019s Chief of Staff, echoed the president\u2019s remarks on his X account, stressing that the Cableb\u00fas project continues with responsibility and community engagement. \u201cAs President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed, listening to citizens is fundamental in these types of projects. In Puebla, with Alejandro Armenta, we keep working with openness and coordination so this work meets families\u2019 needs,\u201d he wrote. <\/p>\n
This declaration comes amid ongoing socialization efforts and preliminary studies before construction begins. The state government has positioned the Cableb\u00fas as a flagship mobility project, promising a safer, more sustainable, and efficient transport option for thousands of Puebla residents. <\/p>\n
For migrants and urban dwellers alike, the Cableb\u00fas represents more than just infrastructure\u2014it\u2019s a step toward inclusive, accessible public transit that responds to community voices and environmental concerns. As Puebla moves forward, the emphasis on dialogue and citizen involvement could serve as a model for equitable urban development in Mexico.<\/p>\n
