Opposition to Malecon Libre
Several Santo Domingo PRD city council members have criticized Mayor Roberto Salcedo for going ahead with plans to launch the ?Malecon Libre? this Sunday, instead of concentrating on cleaning up the capital, which according to the councilors should be the mayor's only priority. Parts of Santo Domingo are still suffering the unpleasant effects of the recent stoppage of refuse collection. Rolfi Rojas of the PRD also claimed that the Malecon Libre plans had not been submitted for approval by the councilors. On Sunday at noon, the Malecon?s seafront avenue will be closed to traffic between Av. M?ximo G?mez and the Obelisk. The public is being encouraged to use the promenade for pedestrian recreation, roller-skating and cycling.
