Chapala urban planning chief reveals conditions for Lake City permit

As predicted in the article on the hotly-debated Lake City project published in the Guadalajara Reporter’s April 11 edition, a technical finding issued last year by Chapala’s Department of Urban Development (DDU) is loaded with caveats and conditions the developers must adhere to in order to obtain final approval and a building license from the city government.

Plan for high-rise senior city whips up controversy

Picture this. The untouched hillside set at the western outskirts of Chapala transformed into a self-contained burgh comprising 3,045 condo apartments – incorporated into five high-rise towers built above a multi-level, full service commercial plaza – plus 426 townhouse villas, all geared to accommodate a rising wave of baby boomer retirees. 

Safer wheeling through La Floresta

Cyclists pedaling along the treacherous stretch of the Ciclopista running through La Floresta have enjoyed safer travel during the Easter holiday period thanks to eight large metal drums strategically placed to keep speeding motorists from invading the unprotected trail.  Half of the green trash barrels were covered with large warning signs labeled with the legend “por el respeto al ciclista.” The biker safety initiative was implemented by La Floresta homeowner association President Fernando Plata Salaman, under approval by the local traffic office. While the temporary barriers will be removed next Monday, the possibility of putting them up on future weekends is now under consideration.
