### Calls for Speeding Up the Construction of the Macroplaza Pedestrian Bridge
Residents near the Macroplaza are urging local authorities to accelerate the construction of a pedestrian bridge intended to connect the commercial center with surrounding areas. This project, initiated during the previous administration, aims to resolve safety concerns for those navigating the busy Boulevard Manuel Jesús Clouthier.
The construction was initially set to be completed under the leadership of former mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez. Citizens like Michelle Rodríguez, a local student, rely on the pathway for their daily commutes to public transportation, expressing frustration with the current need to risk crossing the busy boulevard. The bridge, once completed, would offer a safer alternative for many, including parents with children.
Current mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz stated that efforts are underway in collaboration with the Urban and Environmental Development Secretariat to progress the construction. Despite setbacks caused by electrical cabling, city officials assure that mobility improvement plans are actively being developed.
### Additional Updates on Tijuana’s Infrastructure
In related developments, several infrastructure projects in Tijuana may remain incomplete by the end of the current municipal administration, according to reports. The city has faced challenges with various projects due to financial and logistical hurdles, which has resulted in delays across multiple sites, including the Macroplaza pedestrian bridge.
As local authorities continue to focus on enhancing urban mobility, the community is also anticipating potential changes in migrant policies with the recent U.S. political climate shifts. Border states, including Baja California, are closely monitoring these developments as they have significant implications for regional dynamics.
Furthermore, the city remains proactive in cultural engagement, with events like the 6th edition of “Norte 32°,” which will bring together a diverse array of literary personalities to enrich the local cultural landscape.
