And, Now there are 6

PlayadelSoul · 05-05-2006

This probably belongs in the News and Gossip section, but I only have Jimmy Olson powers. Maybe "Clark Kent" Mindbender can move it :p (not too bitter, am I?

).

There is now a new entrance into Playa from the Highway. The police have put in a light at Calle 34 (next to Boxito) and construction workers have knocked out the median. Should be open this weekend, by the looks of things. The good news is that this will take some of the pressure off of Constituyentes and allow people who live in the northern part of town, easier access. The bad news is that, what was once a two-stoplight stretch of highway, now boasts six. My commuting time has doubled from 5 to 10 minutes

.

Say what you want about politicians, but it seems that the mayor of Playa is keeping to his word regarding the paving of streets and like activities. I have recently seen some of Colosio go from dust to nice, black tarmac. You can actually drive on these streets without having to worry about your car disappearing in a sink hole.

I would move it (when I've figured out how) but my powers seem to have been limited to just seeing the special tool icons in the news section itself.

By the way: Juarez is also progressing with its road and pavement facelift - including snazzy new street lights. Some property owners are also tarting up their shop fronts with a dab of paint.

Amongst others, 10th Avenue has had a fresh layer of the black stuff too and the church's new walls are looking fine and dandy. Their development sign also boasts the addition of new towers stretching nearer to the almighty.

There's a brand new stop light at the corner of 10th & 46th. Yeah! Since there is no street sign it sure helps as a marker for those looking for CocoBay.

You can't stop the blistering pace of progress!

The church in Colosio is also starting to look a lot nicer. It has been under construction for quite a while. I think they build it as the money comes in. The hurricanes last year blew the stained glass windows out, which set them back a pretty peso.

I thought it was the other way 'round?

I can see the special tools again now! Also I was listed as visitor and a mod at the same time. Mmm, technology.

I love this turn of phrase.

Wait, it's a compliment, right?

I was impressed by the speed and quality of the repaving I've seen in Playa. They did our street (15th) at the end of March and completed several blocks in about a week. That's equal to or better than what you'd find in the states. Jaurez is a bigger problem because of the rerouting/improvement with the underground utilities.
