The municipal delegate stressed the importance of improving the road section mentioned due to difficulties arising in times of rain for the educational community at the campus. He said the request also includes the section that surrounds the West side and the municipal public park that will be fully covered with pavement. During the rainy season, he noted, the entrance to the school is flooded, making it very difficult for students and teachers to enter, "so we have asked this problem is addressed and finished".
On the work of electrification, Retamoza García said there is a pending request dating back several years and that it is impossible to realize the detriment to the quality of life of its inhabitants. He explained the requests are now before the Council of Municipal Development (CDM) so they should be approved, because it is not possible for landowners to continue living without this basic service.
