The ProjectThe Project’s objective is to assist the Borrower in enhancing the economic productivity and the quality of life in the Borrower’s municipal territory by improving mobility and accessibility for its population, especially in the peri-urban poor neighborhoods, through the establishment of an efficient, reliable, cleaner and safer mass transit system. The RequestThe Requesters allege particularly that citizen consultations were not carried out, and that the environmental assessment (EA) was neither rigorously conducted nor approved by the competent authority, the Minister of Transportation. Among others, the requesters claim that direct and indirect impacts of Project works have affected the lifestyle of Barranco residents, "disarticulating" the urban and socio-cultural dynamics that historically characterize this district, and have caused “irreparable” harm to the architectural patrimony of the area.
