### Tijuana City Council Undertakes Road Repair Projects in Various Neighborhoods
In an effort to minimize disruptions during the upcoming rainy season, Tijuana’s mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, has directed a series of infrastructure improvements in unpaved areas that often become difficult to navigate due to rain. Key roadworks are being carried out by the Secretariat of Territorial, Urban, and Environmental Development (SDTUA) to enhance accessibility and ensure safety for residents.
Notably, the street Arroyo Grande in the Altiplano neighborhood received attention, benefiting around 350 people. Additional road smoothing and reshaping activities were performed at key access points to the Paseos del Vergel neighborhood, positively impacting the lives of approximately 10,000 commuters.
Efforts have also been extended to clean and clear 600 square meters around the Tijuana-Tecate highway, near boulevard 2000, aiding around 10,000 residents. Improvements in the Altiplano area include resurfacing the Apolonio Romero street, covering 1,800 square meters of road, significantly benefiting the local community.
Elsewhere, in Ejido Maclovio Rojas, 2,700 square meters of roadway have been improved, enhancing daily commute for over 2,800 residents. The colony of Sánchez Taboada saw 2,400 square meters of roads rehabilitated, improving accessibility for approximately 3,000 individuals.
The Municipal Directorate of Urban Works and Infrastructure (DOIUM) has also made enhancements in the Arts and Crafts neighborhood’s Siglo V street in San Antonio de los Buenos Delegation. In the Johnson Canyon area, 10,541 square meters have been resurfaced, aiding more than 16,000 residents in the Central Delegation.
The city’s Public Services Department continues to implement stages of the “Road Resurfacing Program” in La Ciénega, Lomas del Matamoros, and along San Martín Boulevard, aiming to improve road conditions before rainy weather hits.
