The municipal government of Playa del Carmen has called on public and private companies to join forces in improving the city’s urban infrastructure.
In an effort to strengthen the city’s identity and protect the environment, a working meeting was held with service providers and social enterprises to discuss restructuring, replacement, repair, and maintenance actions for damaged manhole covers and walls throughout the city.
According to Fourth Councilman Uri Carmona, president of the Urban Development Commission, the city council is committed to beautifying public spaces and guaranteeing the well-being and safety of residents and visitors.
To achieve this goal, the municipality is engaging in ongoing dialogue with companies such as Gas Natural, Teléfonos de México (Telmex), and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).
Dorys Aké Sierra, Secretary of Infrastructure and Public Works, reported that a collaborative effort has been made to address infrastructure concerns. She highlighted outreach efforts with various companies, including those responsible for maintaining the city’s drainage and drinking water networks.
Julieta Martín Azueta, Secretary of Public Services, presented a geolocation map documenting 144 reports attributed to the CFE, Telmex, and Aguakan for repair.
According to the municipal report, the CFE has been assigned 82 reports for repair, while Telmex has reported the repair of five manholes. The concessionaire responsible for maintaining the city’s drainage system reported that all 82 assigned reports were followed up on.
Coordinated work is also underway with Gas Natural and the CFE to address infrastructure concerns. An agreement was reached with Gas Natural to conduct a verification tour of the federal highway, and the CFE has initiated a bidding process for the purchase of 130 cover systems.
The municipal government requested that companies consider the need for suitable covers that can withstand heavy traffic, including on sidewalks. Additionally, the CFE was asked to address the repair of utility poles, while telecommunications companies were asked to clean their fiber optic cables.
Representatives from various companies attended the meeting, including Manuel Barrero, president of the Riviera Maya College of Architects A.C.; Mario Moguel, president of the College of Civil Engineers; and Óscar Martínez, vice president of the Quintana Roo delegation of the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry.
