The deadline to submit contributions to the Public Consultation for the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project of Metro Line 16-Violeta ends this Friday (7). The initiative, which will connect the eastern and western zones of São Paulo, is in its final week for the public to send suggestions aimed at improving the project.
With an estimated investment of R$ 37.5 billion, the first stage of construction for the new line includes 19 kilometers of track and 16 stations: Teodoro Sampaio, Oscar Freire, Nove de Julho, Jardim Paulista, Parque Ibirapuera, Dante Pazzanese, Ana Rosa, Parque Aclimação, Parque Independência, São Carlos, Paes de Barros, Vila Bertioga, Álvaro Ramos, Regente Feijó, Anália Franco, and Abel Ferreira. This section is expected to carry an average of 475,000 passengers per day by 2040.
During the consultation, the public can submit suggestions to improve the project. Contributions must be sent in writing exclusively via email to ppplinha16@sp.gov.br
, using the official form available on the project’s page on the SPI website (under the “Public Hearings and Consultation” tab). Only submissions sent within the deadline and with all required information properly filled out will be considered. The consultation regulations are also available on the SPI website.
Line 16-Violeta will include eight transfer connections:
Line 1-Blue, at Ana Rosa Station;
Line 2-Green, at Ana Rosa and Anália Franco stations;
Line 4-Yellow, at Oscar Freire Station;
Line 6-Orange, at São Carlos Station;
Line 10-Turquoise, at São Carlos Station;
and future connections with Line 19-Celeste (at Jardim Paulista Station), Line 20-Pink (at Teodoro Sampaio Station), and Line 22-Brown (also at Teodoro Sampaio Station).
Public Hearings
In addition to the public consultation, two public hearings were held in October to present the project and address questions from the public. The sessions were broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of the Government of São Paulo.
