Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – During an extraordinary session of the Puerto Vallarta City Council on Wednesday, councilors approved Mayor Luis Michel’s proposal that the municipality sign an agreement with the ‘Cobbled for the Economic Reactivation of Municipalities’ program, through which up to 11 streets in the city could be paved with cobblestones.
This agreement represents a saving of 70% on the cost of cobblestones, since the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) provides this resource and the municipalities must only contribute the remaining 30%.
The streets proposed for improvement are as follows:
• Ecuador, from the neighborhood Lázaro Cárdenas and 5 de Diciembre
• Danube River, in the López Mateos neighborhood
• Belize, Lázaro Cárdenas neighborhood
• Benemérito de las Américas, in the Valentín Gómez Farías neighborhood
• Playa de Oro, in the lower part of Colonia Santa María
• Circuito de la Montaña in the Campo Verde subdivision
• 8 de Mayo, in the Lomas del Coapinole neighborhood
• 20 de Noviembre, in Las Juntas
• Candido Aguilar, in Las Juntas
• Flamingo, in the Los Tamarindos neighborhood
• Michoacán, in Colonia 24 de Febrero
However, since the municipality would have to invest close to 30 million pesos, corresponding to its 30% of the total cost of the project, all eleven roads are not necessarily going to be approved.
Which streets will be part of the program, and when they would begin to be rehabilitated, will be announced in the coming weeks.
