The life-size figures, known as Encuentro, sat on a bench in Tabacalera until the Cuauhtémoc mayor removed them last July, a removal officials later deemed illegal.
The 40-billion-peso co-investment replaces 40-year-old trains and rebuilds worn tracks; no stations will close this year and fare won’t rise, Brugada said.
The fifth Utopía complex brings free health, culture, and care services to Iztapalapa, part of Brugada’s push to put Mexico City’s neglected peripheries first.
Built for about 928,000 pesos each—three to five times cheaper than Mexico City market rates—the units advance Brugada’s goal of 200,000 homes this term.
