Within the framework of the 1000 Blocks of Curb and Gutter Plan, Mayor Enrique Cresto, together with the Secretary of Urban Development Mireya López Bernis, toured the works currently underway on Doctor Florenza Street.
In this context, curb and gutter works are being carried out which, in addition to organizing the road network, contribute to improving the quality of life of the residents.
“This is one of the curb and gutter fronts we are working on. We are doing it with different programs simultaneously. We are carrying this one out with a private company that won the tender; we are also doing it through work cooperatives with the Potencial program and, of course, with the municipal areas,” noted Mayor Enrique Cresto.
Next, the Secretary of Urban Development Mireya López Bernis indicated “that the curb and gutter is a work carried out within the framework of a policy, not only of urbanization and inclusion but also of connectivity, and it is a hydraulic work. Always keeping in mind that the curb and gutter channels water and what it does is maintain the dirt street”.
“We know that Concordia has many dirt streets and sometimes permanent maintenance is very difficult due to the unevenness of the city, and also the gravel street has the problem that every time it rains it has to be gone over again. So, for us, it is an important work and we are going to give it continuity as a permanent urbanization policy,” affirmed López Bernis.
“Thanks to the administration, after 30 years we have curb and gutter”
“We are very grateful to Mayor Enrique Cresto. The truth is that we have been inhabitants of the neighborhood for a long time and, thanks to his administration, after 30 years the residents are seeing the progress of this very important work, which is the curb and gutter that will improve our quality of life,” stated Gladys González, a resident and neighborhood representative.
Finally, she mentioned that during the visit “they announced that they are going to do two more blocks, so we are very grateful for that. It is a help for the neighborhood. They also told us that this work will come with improvements in lighting and connectivity for the area. We are happy.”
