The civic group Guadalajara 2020 says at least 5,000 people used to cycle from Guadalajara to Chapala each Sunday but that number has diminished to less than half over recent years due to the lack of road safety along the busy highway.
The group submitted a proposal to city hall three years ago with the aim of creating a secure cycling corridor between the two locations. That plan was rejected but Guadalajara 2020 never lost its enthusiasm for the project.
“Our dream is still to connect Chapala-Ixtlahuacan-Tlajomulco-El Salto-Tlaquepaque and Guadalajara,” says Rocío Herrera.
