City Hall defines mobility measures for the 'Corre de Terça' event in Cidade da Esperança

Among the measures is the adoption of an open circuit, with the aim of maintaining traffic fluidity and reducing impacts on vehicle circulation. The City Hall also defined the maintenance of access to the region's Emergency Care Unit (UPA) and a specific route for emergency vehicles.

The measures were discussed on Thursday (10) in a meeting between the Municipal Secretariat for Urban Mobility (STTU) and the Municipal Secretariat for Environment and Urbanism (Semurb).

According to STTU, a deviation considered viable and already known by the population will also be used. According to Jódia Melo, head of STTU, the growth of the event requires planning to reconcile sporting activity with the routine of residents and the provision of essential services.

“Defining the route and mobility measures allows the event to take place with the least possible impact on the community”, he highlighted.

“Corre de Terça” takes place weekly in Cidade da Esperança, with a gathering in front of Pascoal de Lima, on Avenida Paraíba. The main route is approximately 5 kilometers long and can be done running or walking.

The activity gained repercussion on social media since the beginning of August and went from around 400 participants in the first edition to thousands of people in subsequent editions. In addition to training, the meeting includes warm-ups, music and socializing among participants.
