Public Beach Facilities Construction Underway PVNN
| Workers began removing the weeds and trash on the path that leads from Francisco Medina Ascencio to the beach on Tuesday. | Puerto Vallarta - In response to the beach vendors' demonstration at City Hall last week, the Municipal Government and the Department of Public Works began cleaning up the Los Tules beach area to prepare for the construction of one of the promised public beach accesses.
Under the direction of Remberto Quintero Gutiérrez of Public Works, personnel and machinery began removing the weeds and trash on the path that leads from Francisco Medina Ascencio to the beach on Tuesday. Upon completion of the clean-up, materials will be laid to make the path more accessible to not only beach vendors, but also citizens and visitors.
According to one municipal employee, this route to the beach lies along a natural channel, so workers will also have to remove the standing water and accumulated garbage that is currently along the pathway in order to improve the area's ambiance and appeal.
Public Works director Quintero Gutiérrez said that the Puerto Vallarta Public Works Department has already starting analyzing another location for a public access way in the Hotel NH Krystal zone, where a pathway could easily be opened in an area that would also facilitate the construction of public rest rooms installations within the next two months.
He added that inside the same time frame another public restroom facility will be built at the access to the beach near Las Glorias in the hotel zone, behind Calle Febronio Uribe, where they are also contemplating the construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Santa Maria vein to provide easy access from the street to the beach.
Remberto Quintero added that in the meeting scheduled for Thursday, a model of the public restroom facilities will be presented/displayed, and that additional locations for public beach accesses will be analyzed to bring about the gradual opening of the 25 public beach accesses that Mayor Gustavo González Villaseñor committed himself to when addressing the group of beach vendors and tourist service providers on the steps of City Hall last Monday. |
