**Tijuana Promotes Well-being in Infonavit Lomas del Porvenir**
This weekend, the local government held its eighth wellness event in the community of Infonavit Lomas del Porvenir, Tijuana. The event saw the distribution of financial assistance to outstanding students and wheelchairs to individuals with disabilities. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the city to support its residents and improve their quality of life.
In attendance was the Mayor of Tijuana, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, who took the opportunity to address the residents of the Playas de Tijuana delegation. He emphasized the importance of investing in infrastructure, including roads, paving, and street maintenance. “The next year, we plan to invest in construction, paving, and patching like never before. We’re committed to these streets and fixing the potholes,” he stated.
In addition to infrastructure improvements, Burgueño highlighted plans to enhance public lighting, aiming to make Tijuana one of the best-lit cities in Mexico. Security remains a top priority, with the Mayor mentioning collaboration with state and national authorities on security measures, including checkpoints at border crossings to ensure the safety of those traveling.
Burgueño also pledged transparency in government spending, noting the significant budget allocated for security, which allows the city to implement cutting-edge technology for crime prevention. “Every peso we use will be transparent. We have the largest budget in Tijuana’s history, and we’ve doubled the security budget to ensure top-level technology and crime prevention strategies,” he assured.
As part of the wellness event, students received tablets and equipped backpacks as recognition for their academic achievements. Furthermore, the government ensured the availability of various municipal services, from health to culture, education, and community support.
The Secretary of Welfare, Erik Morales Elvira, reported that over 10,000 individuals have benefited from these wellness events, with efforts ongoing to reach more communities. “Today’s event is our eighth, benefitting over 10,000 people across six communities, including two macro events serving over 4,000 each,” he shared.
