**Improving Security and Commerce: Goals of the New Delegates**

The challenges of security and infrastructure are the primary concerns that need urgent attention in the Presa Este delegation of Tijuana, according to the new delegate, Oscar Valenzuela. He assumed his duties during a council session on October 7, 2024, marking the early days of Mayor Ismael Burgueño’s administration.

Valenzuela, previously a delegate of Sánchez Taboada in 2019, noted that both delegations face similar issues, with high crime rates affecting several neighborhoods. “Due to its vast area, many communities within the delegation grapple with security, irregular settlements, and the need for recreational spaces. Our aim is to develop a comprehensive plan,” Valenzuela stated.

Although specific action plans are yet to be detailed for each delegation, the overarching directive for Tijuana’s nine delegates is clear: to reclaim public spaces for community use and work in concert with institutions to address these issues.

In addition to Valenzuela’s assignment to Presa Este, other newly appointed delegates are: José Luis Portillo Reyes in Centro, Bianca Najar Soto in Mesa, Teresa García Bañuelos in Sánchez Taboada, Adriana Guadalupe Barrera Hernández in La Presa Abelardo L. Rodríguez, Alejandro Roberto Ibarra Moreno in Playas de Tijuana, Guadalupe Javier Notario in San Antonio de los Buenos, Claudia Casas Valdez in Otay Centenario, and Rosy Margarita García Zamarripa in Cerro Colorado.

In recent news, Tijuana continues to grapple with significant issues in its urban planning and public safety, particularly in the eastern areas. As authorities like Mayor Burgueño and the new local delegates emphasize development efforts, these sectors remain under scrutiny.

In light of these developments, security strategies are being strengthened, with increased coordination between state forces and community groups to alleviate crime rates. Moreover, efforts to improve city infrastructure are underway, with community leaders advocating for better roadways and public transport systems to connect the isolated communities in Tijuana’s vast eastern reach.

These initiatives underscore a crucial agenda to transform Tijuana’s urban landscape into a more secure and interconnected city, focused on long-term growth and community well-being.
