At the beginning of March, the Curitiba City Hall launched the first phase of Fala Curitiba 2026. The annual public consultation asks the city’s population where the capital’s public resources should be allocated. In its 10th edition, the program has already recorded around 382 thousand participations since its beginning in 2017 and selected 703 priorities. Plural analyzed the priorities chosen since 2017 and found that 98 requests have not yet been completed.
Of those, 86 are awaiting completion, 11 have not yet been started, and only 1 was considered unfeasible to execute. The only regional area that had a request denied was Boa Vista, which requested increasing the stormwater flow capacity at the intersection at Brigadeiro Arthur Carlos Peralta.
According to City Hall, the priority cannot be executed due to technical impossibility, since “buildings occupy the bank of the tributary of the Bacacheri River, constricting the flow cross-section. For the work to be carried out, expropriation of approximately 350 meters would be necessary, between Rua Santo Celestino Coleto and Rua dos Alfeneiros,” City Hall reported. Among the 86 demands awaiting completion is the paving of Rua Renato Linhares, in Butiatuvinha, chosen as a priority by the Santa Felicidade regional in 2024. That regional area, in addition to that project, has another 15 demands not yet completed, making it the one with the most pending items.
Next come the Tatuquara, Portão and Bairro Novo regionals, each with 12 open priorities. Then come Boa Vista (10), Cajuru (9), Pinheirinho (8), Boqueirão (7), Matriz (7) and, finally, CIC (4).
According to City Hall, the paving of Rua Renato Linhares had become eligible for execution after the completion of the designs and would be included in a bidding process in June 2025. However, in December of the same year, the project was rescheduled for June 2026.
The same is true for the Portão regional, which in 2023 chose to open Rua Niepce da Silva up to the expressway, toward Pinheirinho. According to City Hall, this demand is included in the Inter 2 Line project, lot 1, under construction by the Municipal Department of Public Works (SMOP), with completion scheduled for the first half of 2026. The data refer to the Fala Curitiba monitoring carried out up to December 10, 2025 and released by City Hall. It is possible to check the status of each of the priorities chosen on the Fala Curitiba website (here).
Fala Curitiba 2026
In the first stage of the program, which this year runs until March 31 via Fala Móvel and online, the municipal administration gathers information to guide the drafting of the Budget Guidelines Law (LDO).
On April 1, the second phase of Fala Curitiba 2026 begins, which will support the drafting of the Annual Budget Law (LOA). In this stage, City Hall collects suggestions from participants to detail the use of the municipal budget in each thematic area. The process runs until June 3, including in-person prioritization meetings between May 25 and June 12, with 29 meetings in the ten Regional Administrations.
The program ends in August, with final in-person meetings in each regional area, between the 3rd and 7th.
In the final stage, the 100 requests chosen by the city’s residents are defined, which become part of the 2027 LOA.
