**No Guarantee Malecon Repairs Will Be Completed Before Tianguis Turístico: Mayor Burgueño**

Tijuana, Mexico – The Mayor of Tijuana, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, has expressed uncertainty about the completion of repairs to the Malecon in Playas de Tijuana before April, when the Tianguis Turístico — an important tourism fair — is set to take place in the city. The project remains under review, and officials have not provided a definitive timeline for resuming work after the State Government’s previous shutdown of the site.

According to Mayor Burgueño, the delay is due to the need to address why the project was halted and ensure all necessary permits and requirements are in place. Additionally, there is still an ongoing assessment to determine if sufficient resources are available to continue the construction.

Local residents have voiced their frustration over the suspension, expressing concerns about the impacts on their community. The Mayor emphasized the importance of creating the right conditions to move forward with the project and assured that these issues are being addressed.

**Further Developments on the Malecon Situation**

In related news, tension is rising among Playas residents who are displeased with the prolonged halt in construction. The disruption has not only delayed anticipated improvements but also left many business owners near the Malecon in limbo as they await the project’s restart.

Elsewhere, a separate incident in the area saw a family seeking compensation following injuries sustained when a commercial structure collapsed at the beaches. This highlights an urgent need for rigorous safety evaluations in all construction activities around the city.

Meanwhile, Tijuana faces various challenges beyond infrastructure. Recent reports indicate that retirees are calling for enhancements in emergency services at the IMSS Clinic 20. Additionally, a warning was issued about the adverse effects of improper bra use on breast health, urging women to choose comfortable and supportive garments.

For those living in Tijuana, an emergent water cut is scheduled, affecting 110 neighborhoods due to a leak in the Otay-Airport aqueduct starting Friday, October 4. Residents are advised to check whether their locality will be affected.

Looking ahead, starting January 2025, the Mexican government will begin distributing a bimonthly pension of 3,000 pesos to women aged 60 to 64, aiming to improve the financial welfare of older women in the country.
