Today is the inauguration of the teleferico:
The Santo Domingo Cable Car is inaugurated today
Santo Domingo
It will be today at 4:00 in the afternoon when the authorities will leave in operation the Cable Car of Santo Domingo, work that has been developed among the displeasure of dozens of families that they say have been affected by the construction of the transportation system and have not been relocated.
The event will be held at the Charles de Gaulle station, located at the intersection of President Jacobo Majluta Avenue and La Victoria Highway, in Sabana Perdida, Santo Domingo Norte.
Many of the negotiations with the residents of the areas where the different cable car stations were built have not yet been carried out, a situation that has created great discontent among the residents.
The stations that make up the cable car are Gualey, Los Tres Brazos, Sabana Perdida and Charles de Gaulle, and despite the fact that for today all should be in operation, until yesterday the Gualey, was late.
On February 23 President Danilo Medina tested the Santo Domingo Cable Car, and during the tour highlighted that the work will provide economic relief for thousands of Dominican families, who in the future will only have to pay a fare to travel to study centers and of job.
Medina said that people who previously paid for up to three concho cars will now only have to do it for one, since the Santo Domingo Cableway will connect with the Santo Domingo Metro, and both services will be offered only for a price of RD $ 20 per trip. .
Complaints from community
The president of the Dominican Foundation Love for the Elderly and Children, Franklin Tamayo, reported last week that in the case of Los Tres Brazos, they promised the relocation of the merchants who were evicted to make way for the Cable Car station , the improvement of the houses impacted by this passenger transport system, the construction of a communal center and the extension of President Hugo Chávez avenue, former Venezuela, among others.
On the situation, the authorities said that only 3 houses in Gualey and other problems detected with the mayors of the municipalities are pending, but they never promised those works to those neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Milkeya Burgos asked for the termination of her home, since a month ago they evicted her to improve her and even she and her family are on the street, without a roof to live on.
The Cable Car will impact some 400,000 residents of the neighborhoods of Gualey, Los Tres Brazos and Sabana Perdida. For two weeks now, Public Works has been fixing the streets near the construction site.
