The governor’s visit prompted unusually quick action to fix maintenance problems
Dirt, sticks and stones left by the October mudslides were finally removed from the bike path by city hall personnel during the Governor’s visit to supervise public works.
Staff.– Let him come more often! Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, visited the lakeside area on Friday, March 25th to supervise the local government. His visit not only mobilized extra security, but many municipal employees gave their best effort to make the streets and roads look impeccable. The streets of the Chapala and Jocotepec municipalities looked especially well-maintained. In one day municipal employees performed all the maintenance that had not been done since the administration took over in October.The administration made a clear effort to paint a very rosy picture of the lakeside area for the governor. In Chapala there were no garbage piles to obstruct the governor’s inquisitive eye. The intersection at the junction of the Ajijic highway and bypass had traffic personnel, which is rare even on the busiest weekends. Chapala’s boardwalk, in addition to not having a single piece of garbage, had its green areas watered, and the walkways were washed very early in the morning.
In San Juan Cosalá, Alfaro cycled along the bike path with the presidents of Chapala, (Alejandro de Jesús Aguirre Curiel) and Jocotepec (José Miguel Gómez López). For this occasion, the bike path was finally cleared of sticks, stones, and dirt left by the October landslides.
State workers even replaced the entrance sign welcoming visitors to Jocotepec (from the border with Chapala). Faded road signs were re-painted. If only the governor would come more often so that street maintenance and public services would work this way all the time.
