SINDICO WALTER MUSA ANUNCIA CONSTRUCCION CALLE ACCESO A COSTAMBAR

The mayor is at pains to point out that this won't happen overnight because the drainage needs to be fixed first so that the same old same old doesn't keep happening to the road. But..........put the flags out: Ayuntamiento has said it will shoulder the responsibility of the road AND it will look into drainage system first :).

other good news

The Sec. of Tourism has been designated as the lead for the PLD campaign for region norte......so maybe some money will flow; ala: Felucho with his "sand projects" for Long Beach", Cabarete, etc. We'll see, as usual.
Under the new Constitution they're no longer called Secretaries? Are they Ministers now or what? Still Cabinet guys however. and why are there never women invited to the party? I know it;s come up lately........but....what? Aren't there more women here than men? Don't know the exact demographics actually......I'm sure someone has that at their fingertips.

Give Walter his due, I think he has a thing for asphalting roads when you look at his track record around Puerto Plata. There are other things which haven't been done but asphalting is de rigeur, almost like someone in the family owns the creosote company......;) Plus, he tends not to declare something quite so emphatically if there is no intention of doing it. But......on the other hand I'm very aware that we're in the run up to municipal elections in May.......If Water gets re-elected, I'm guessing this could get done. But with 3.5 months to go to the elections I don't see it being done before May, because it's going to take all of that for the drainage study. On the other hand, if he is worried by a Ramon Ortiz resurgence .........who knows?

As you say Lambada, it may not happen overnight but I'm sure it will happen and when it does it will be great for the area.

That must be frustrating in Costambar, to see the roads paved in Cafemba right up to people's homes, but the main entrance staying a disaster in Costambar.

does it mean we are not gonna get rid of the planta after the lease expires? i guess so...
on a lighter note, main street to costambar is now closed because of road works. up until last night there was a big metal sign in purple and yellow (walter's colours) saying "puerto plata asfaltando" or something to that effect. when we were coming home i saw a motoconcho dude stealing the sign, his passenger had it perched on his back and they both drove into the nigh...
