Mongaguá, SP, formalizes request for transfer of use of railway areas to the Union
The city of Mongaguá in São Paulo has made a formal request to the Federal Secretariat of Patrimony for the transfer or donation of railway areas to enhance local public interest and development.
The municipality of Mongaguá, located on the coast of São Paulo, has officially submitted a request for technical cooperation to the Federal Secretariat of Patrimony (SPU) to secure the transfer or donation of railway areas that run through the city. This formal request was sent by the city's Attorney General following a recent institutional meeting with SPU representatives, building on discussions that initially began in October 2025 when the mayor met with officials from the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT) in the capital.
The primary aim of this initiative is to ensure that the railway areas are utilized for the local public interest and to promote the development of the city. The local government, backed by federal deputy Fernando Marangoni, identifies key priorities for these railway areas, such as creating a central parking lot and enhancing the Agenor Train Station. The request represents a strategy to revitalize these regions and improve accessibility for residents and visitors alike.
Furthermore, the move highlights the local government's proactive approach to negotiating with federal entities for the benefit of the community. By successfully obtaining these areas, Mongaguá could see increased traffic and tourism, subsequently helping to stimulate its economy and improve public services, marking a significant step towards urban improvement and community engagement.
