[1] <\/strong>Introducion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Dears Vasca\u00ednos friends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     I come, through this article, to bring technical and detailed material to Vasca\u00ednos fans, which serves as a beacon and understanding, for the maturation of the Expansion\/Modernization, of the S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio Stadium, belonging to our beloved Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama (CRVG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     This matter is returning to Vasca\u00ednos fans, since the parties (CRVG and the Public Power, say City Hall of the City of Rio de Janeiro and Government of the State of RJ), have recently expressed their intention to carry out this purpose, concomitantly, in what belongs to each of the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     As for the CRVG, it would be the Project and the work itself, and to the Public Power, Public Actions that enable and update the SJ Surroundings, such as: Acessibility and Urban Mobility, as well as other services arising from it (Work Licenses, Habitat, Logistics Interventions, Relative Taxes, etc …), to serve, as a prerequisite, for the realization of this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[2] <\/strong>Going back a few years ago:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     <\/strong>As is know in Vasca\u00ednos fans, I, Marcelo Paiva, am part of this Volunteer Group fos the Revitalization of the Surroundings of S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio (GVRESJ), togheter with Andr\u00e9 Pedro, Marcus Simonini, Raimundo Almeida, Maur\u00edcio Mendes and Phillipi Labanca, where from the year 2011, we created this voluntary group, whose purpose is to, through our expertise, serve as a Voluntary Advisory Service between the CRVG and the Government, as a \u201cconnection bridge\u201d for both, so that this Noble Purpose can be made viable, whose lines of Actions so far have already yielded some results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/strong>We all know that, for some years now, there has been a chronic problem of Accessibility and Public Flow, in Vasco da Gama games, in their Stadium, since its neighborhood are narrow and the place NEEDS PUBLIC WORKS, in that REGION FORGOTTEN BY THE SAME for over 70 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     If such interventions are SEEN, by the Public Power itself, as URGENT DEMANDS to be carried out, that is where the prerequisite for the Expansion\/Modernization of S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio comes in, in the segments of Accessibility, Urban Mobility, Housing (New Buildings), Education (New Schools, Daycare Centers and Renovations of the existing ones), Health (New Health Centers and Renovation of the existing ones), Security, Transport, Public Lighting, Garbage Collection, Leisure, etc …, wich Will GENERATE THE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL IN THAT NEEDED REGION, for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      All Residents of the Region will win, the CRVG, the passersby, the City of Rio de Janeiro itself with a Revitalized Sports Equipment, serving as na \u201cAnchor\u201d for these Transformations, as well as the S\u00e3o Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o District, wich h\u00e1s the Historic and Cultural Appeal for having the nickname of \u201cImperial Neighborhood\u201d, where the Brazilian Empire was estabilished in this Region!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[3] <\/strong>Some necessary information, to enter the purpose:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

     <\/strong>Two \u201csaddled horses\u201d passed through the door of the CRVG, so that this Expansion\/Modernization, as a Line of Action, could have been carried out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     The first took place when the CRVG was sought out by the City of Rio de Janeiro, so that the S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio Stadium could serve as an Olimpic Stadium for the 2007 Pan American Games and that the parties did not reach a \u201ccommon denominator\u201d! This fact proves why the Nilton Santos Stadium exists today, belonging to the City Hall (leased by Botafogo FR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The second took place on the occasion that the CRVG was chosen by the COB, with the signing of a Letter of Intent (July 2010), in the Club itself between the parties, on the occasion of the Rio 2016 Olympics, to host the Rugby and that after some time, there was no understading between the aforementioned parties, for the realization of this Olympic Sport, which would require the Revitalization of the Surroundings (Municipal Housing Program \u201cMorar Carioca\u201d) and the Modernization of the S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     <\/strong>Even with the loss of Rugby Rio 2016 in SJ, the \u201cMorar Carioca\u201d Program remained active and the Revitalization of the Surroundings of S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio Stadium was again spoken by the Mayor of the City of Rio de Janeiro, in July 2014, as in the following Link: (http:\/\/www.rio.rj.gov.br\/web\/guest\/exibeconteudo?id=4822086<\/a> – this Link is no longer available on the Internet, but we have its content Printed in Archive, the wich guarantees the veracity of the information), including the amount foreseen in the amount of BRL 31,000,000.00 (Thirty-One Million Reais, a small amount for such improvements) for Accessibility Works, Housing, Land Regularization, Sanitation, Lighting, Leisure, etc …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Regardless of the loss of Rugby Rio 2016, in SJ, the Surrounding Revitalization is in \u201chold measure\u201d, in its Macro Mode, although a few interventions are being made so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It is worth mentioning that the \u201cVasco da Gama Station\u201d, of the BRT Transbrasil Consortium, is being built on Av Brasil, about 800 meters from the SJ Stadium. For those Who don\u2019t know what the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is, it is na Express Bus Corridor, which Will connect the Deodoro neighborhood to Santos Dumont Airport, in downtown Rio de Janeiro. This Station has the \u201cModal\u201d Function, wich will allow connections with other Transport segments in the City, such as the BRT, VLT, Metro, Trains, Buses, Taxis, Ferries, etc …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      THE INITIAL PROJECT WAS FINANCED at BRL 100,000,000.00 (One Hundred Million Reais), by the IDB, planned for that Region, when the CRVG had a Letter of Intent signed to host the Rugby Rio 2016 Olympic Event, as seen above (VIEW BY CLICKING HERE<\/strong> \u2013 (https:\/\/vejario.abril.com.br\/cidade\/avenida-brasil-tera-novo-acesso-a-sao-cristovao\/<\/a>) or (https:\/\/oglobo.globo.com\/rio\/r-100-milhoes-em-obras-na-barreira-do-vasco-no-caju-7753797)<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In September 2011, I and my friend, colleague on purpose and colleague by profession, Civil Engineer Raimundo Almeida, were at CAU-RJ (Centre for Architecture and Urbanism of the City of Rio de Janeiro) in a MEETING with the Urban Planning Coordinator Municipal, Dr Helena Rego, at the request of the Municipal Secretary, at the time, Dr S\u00e9rgio Dias, in order to present SUGGESTIONS and JOINT IDEAS, for that region forgotten for decades, as we had ACCESS to the aforementioned MUNICIPAL PROJECT, for that Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One of our recommendations, which the City Hall project KEPT LIKE with our suggestions, was the planned street accessing Av Brasil to Rua General Alm\u00e9rio de Moura, site of the SJ Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We left this Meeting with a good reception from the Urban Planning Coordinator and WE REPRODUCE IN THE IMAGE BELOW, in a simplistic and artisanal way, the ACCESSIBILITY QUESTION provided for in that project and which is still in \u201cwaiting step\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We state to Vasco da Gama fans that this is a punctual and necessary Action Line for the surroundings of the SJ, as it will benefit CRVG, as well as all Residents, Workers, Merchants and the Population of the City of Rio de Janeiro, which will gain new gateways to the S\u00e3o Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o Region and surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This purpose has the support of residents, merchants, entrepreneurs in the region and authorities of the Imperial Neighborhood of S\u00e3o Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o and surroundings, as this initiative will leverage the INVESTMENT POTENTIAL in that Neighborhood, revitalizing it, opening the possibility of new Housing Properties. , Commercial, Industrial, Cultural, such as: Malls, Stores, Cinemas, Leisure Areas, Medical Centers, among others, which will move from a current \u201cSTAGNANT AND DECAYING REGION\u201d, to the condition of \u201cINVESTMENTS POTENTIAL REGION\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As we can see, by the Relevant Icons close to S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio and by its excellent geographical location, in the City of Rio de Janeiro, the S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio Stadium and its surroundings, DESERVE the OBSERVATION of the Public Power, so that an URBANISTIC TRANSFORMATION, be done to satisfaction and that it will come out of the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[5] Eletronic <\/strong>Undersigned (10,313 Signatures) claiming SJ Surroundings Revitalization:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In October 2012, the Voluntary Group for the Revitalization of the Surroundings of S\u00e3o Janu\u00e1rio (GVRESJ) filed an Electronic Petition with 10,313 Signatures at the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro (Petition + Name Notebook, with Surnames and reference e-mails), demanding that the Stadium Surroundings be Revitalized, since at that time the CRVG was scheduled to host Rugby Rio 2016, as previously reported and which ended up not happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The fact is that this Line of Action was disseminated in Vasco da Gama Fans and in the Sports Media, in general, and until today the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro, HAS NOT GAVE ANY ANSWER.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
