### Setback in Road Infrastructure During Montserrat Caballero’s Administration
The road infrastructure in Tijuana has faced a significant decline during the administration of Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, according to Gina Arana, President of the Urban Mobility Commission. Despite some improvements in pavement and the rehabilitation of certain boulevards, Arana believes the issue remains urgent and must be addressed by the newly elected mayor, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz.
Arana emphasized the need for increased investment in road reconstruction and signage to enhance vehicular mobility across the city. “I don’t think there has been progress. In fact, I believe there has been a setback. I say this with great respect because it’s not just the main boulevards but the streets in the neighborhoods that are falling apart,” she said.
José Luis Macedo, a resident of the Infonavit Cachanillas neighborhood, reported that the streets in his area have not seen significant reconstruction in over thirty years and are in severely poor condition due to a lack of maintenance. “We can’t drive comfortably because we have to be careful where we go due to large potholes that can damage the cars. It’s always the same here,” he affirmed.
The effort to maintain streets in local neighborhoods has largely been unsuccessful, as residents noted that only partial street repair efforts have been undertaken. “They came to patch a part of the main street two months ago, but it was only a small section near the red school. We want the entire road fixed from the Jauja gas station up to the top; it’s impossible to drive on this street,” Macedo expressed.
