Metro of Bogota First Line - First Tranch — Request II

Country: Colombia

Reception date: September, 7 2021

Current Status: Closed

Requesters:

Miller Pomar, resident of the city of Bogotá, Colombia

Summary of the Request

The Request describes a potential damage to the Requester’s living conditions and property, derived from the expropriation of his commercial property (automotive service station) for the construction of the Project.

The Requester alleges that an alleged incorrect appraisal of his property would have been made, since the fair price would be lower than the market price, in addition to not considering the loss of profits due to the closing of the business, which would also have an impact on more than 20 people who work there.

Finally, the Request cites a potential breach of the Project's General Resettlement Plan, which it is alleged that does not adhere to OP-710 Policy on Involuntary Resettlement.

Recent actions

On September 9th, 2021, the Request was not registered to allow the Requester to establish an initial contact with the Project Team (Management). The Requester was notified of the possibility of resubmitting the Request to the MICI if their concerns have not been addressed within a reasonable period. The Parties were notified and the MICI process was concluded.

It is important to note that the Notification of Non-Registration is not an assessment of the merits of the Request, or the issues presented in it. Nor is it a determination of compliance or non-compliance by the IDB with respect to its Pertinent Operational Policies.
