Neighbors and merchants from Communes 7, 9 and 10 of Buenos Aires will hold a protest on Friday in rejection of the Metrobús work announced by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires on Alberdi and Directorio avenues, considering the project “unconsulted, useless and harmful” for the area.
The mobilization will take place at 1:00 p.m. at the intersection of Alberdi and Mariano Acosta avenues -on the border of the Floresta, Liniers and Parque Avellaneda neighborhoods- against the exclusive lane for public transport that will have an extension of 5.8 kilometers .
“Alberdi has no problems and if they take away our parking, they harm businesses and the neighborhood,” said the groups that organized the activity, referring to the fact that the work foresees a prohibition to leave cars on both sidewalks of the avenues through which it will circulate. the Metrobus.
