Guadalajara city hall has launched a program to rid the municipality of “apartalugares,” people who illegally place buckets and other objects to “reserve” free parking spaces on streets and then charge motorists for the privilege of using them.
The main zones officials will target are the city center, and the Santa Tere, Providencia, Lafayette and Americana neighborhoods.
Operations to enforce this city ordinance will be carried out strictly according to the law and with the rights of street workers guaranteed, Guadalajara Mayor Ismael del Toro said.
