Overview
- The government has launched an 89 million peso overhaul of Cuemanco, with Mayor Clara Brugada supervising early works and detailing the plan’s technical and environmental features.
- The project rebuilds 74 commercial stalls, reinforces foundations with 62 piles driven 12 meters deep, and upgrades roughly 700 meters of camellones and access areas using certified wood and new utilities.
- Ecotechnologies include rainwater capture, on-site treatment and reuse, a hydrobotanical tower to process black and gray water, and permeable paving to reduce runoff and polluted discharges to canals.
- Operations will continue during construction; the embarcadero currently runs 216 trajineras and draws about 250,000 visitors annually, a number officials expect to increase during the World Cup.
- Conservation and community measures include a proposed axolotl sanctuary, commitments to avoid displacing traditional merchants, and benefits cited by local representatives for more than two thousand families.
