Police Commissioner Raúl Quintero Barrón reports a plan to reposition street directions in the Old Port went into effect just before last week’s Semana Santa vacation to assist traffic flow while working to reduce accidents. He detailed the effort was done in coordination with area residents and businesses, and that access to the Malecon was made easier by having two lanes going in as opposed to only one in previous years, minimizing “bottlenecks”.
Municipal Transit Chief Salvador Negrete Ríos asked for the community’s patience and understanding, detailing the new traffic plan is well overdue in order to speed up traffic and ensure greater safety.
