The Government of the State of Nuevo León announces the development and implementation of the Metropolitan Green Corridors, an urban infrastructure strategy aimed at improving pedestrian mobility, strengthening connectivity, and enhancing the quality of life in the Monterrey metropolitan area.
This project is part of the Comprehensive Plan for Sustainable Urban Mobility and responds to the need to build safer, more accessible, and inclusive environments for all people.
What are the Green Corridors?
The Green Corridors are urban spaces designed under sustainability criteria that integrate green areas, bike lanes, pedestrian walkways, and nature-based solutions, such as gardens and permeable surfaces.
Their objective is to prioritize pedestrians and promote non-motorized forms of transport, like cycling, while ensuring better coexistence with public transportation.
Every day our state becomes greener, and the urban landscape is gradually changing with the massive tree-planting program.
From the Y Griega station to the Talleres park, more than ONE THOUSAND trees have already been planted under and around Line 1.
Furthermore, they are designed under the principles of universal accessibility, allowing use by people with disabilities, the elderly, and children.
Among its main components are the widening of sidewalks with urban furniture and vegetation, afforestation with native species to improve the environment, and the implementation of shared lanes with priority for cyclists, promoting active and safe mobility.
The creation of these spaces addresses a historical lag in the urban development of Monterrey, where for decades the use of the automobile was prioritized, generating limited infrastructure for pedestrians.
With this initiative, the state government, in coordination with metropolitan municipalities, seeks to reverse this trend, reduce pollution, decrease vehicular congestion, and move towards a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable city.
These corridors function as axes of inter-municipal connectivity, linking with mass transit systems and facilitating more efficient transfers.
