### New Landmark on Avenida Revolución Funded by Private Sector, Costs Approximately 600,000 Pesos
In a recent announcement, Tijuana’s mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, revealed that the new gateway structure on Avenida Revolución was financed entirely by the private sector and cost around 600,000 pesos. During a press conference, the mayor emphasized the collaborative effort between the local government and private businesses to enhance the cityscape. The modern threshold, unveiled on October 30, features the foundation year of Tijuana, 1889, and serves as an entry point to the city’s historic center.
The unveiling event was attended by Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda, the Governor of Baja California, highlighting the importance of this project for the community. Mayor Burgueño Ruiz noted that the private sector’s involvement was motivated by a shared interest in providing recreational spaces and improving the quality of life for Tijuana’s residents. He also clarified that the initiative behind both the gateway and a carousel installation on the same avenue lacked any hidden motives, reinforcing that these were acts of community service.
