Chapala progresses on public works projects
Chapala’s urban planning department has issued progress reports on the major public works now under way.
The Chapala plaza remodeling project funded by the state government is essentially done, with only the installation of new street lamps and illuminated posts lining the perimeter along Calle López Cotilla still pending.
The municipality will cover costs for patching and repainting the face of the city market to upgrade the appearance of the surrounding area.
Rehabilitation of Ajijic’s central Calle Colón is also entering the final stages. Work should be completed within approximately one week, although the street will remain closed until the new cobblestone surface has time to firm up and settle.
The project that still has a long way to go is the renovation of the southern leg of Avenida Cristiania-González Gallo. The installation of water and sewage mains beneath the southbound lane is due for completion before Carnaval festivities crank up on February 6.
