City Mayor David Collado in his election campaign had promised to bring back the splendor of Santo Domingo’s sea bordering boulevard that combines the Paseo Padre Billini, the Av. George Washington and the Autopista 30 de Mayo, more than 14 kilometers.
Now Mayor David Collado proudly announces that by 9 August, the contractors will have completed works on the 1.5 km stretch from the Ministry of Foreign Relations (near Av. Abraham Lincoln) to the Av. Máximo Gómez. Lighting of the avenue and spotlights looking out to the sea are being installed.
