Tijuana Struggles With Overhaul

**Tijuana’s Three-Year Struggle** Three years proved inadequate for solving Tijuana’s infrastructure woes, a pressing issue as municipal priorities lag behind, impacting road repairs and urban planning, with a demand for better outcomes.

### Three Years Insufficient for Tijuana’s Infrastructure Overhaul

In Tijuana, three years of municipal government is deemed insufficient to tackle the extensive infrastructure challenges facing the city, according to Juan Carlos Montejo Muñoz, President of Tijuana’s Association of Architects. Montejo Muñoz highlighted that the pressing issues, such as road repairs and urban planning, have not been adequately prioritized in recent administrations, leading to subpar results.

“The pace of urban development is slow; three years for an administration is very little time,” Montejo Muñoz stated. The local government has attempted to address road repairs, among other issues, but results have often been less than satisfactory. “They tried to fill potholes, but the impact was negligible,” he added.

Additionally, there is a noted lack of follow-through on projects and a call for greater civic responsibility. While street cleaning initiatives were implemented, their effectiveness quickly waned, leaving little long-term improvement.
