Mayor David Collado was at Mirador del Sur Park for the formal inauguration of renovations that have included better lighting, sidewalk reconstruction, ramps, bathrooms and gardening improvements. Collado said that 27,750 square meters of sidewalks were built. Security has been enhanced with better-equipped 50 municipal police agents in motorcycle and bicycle patrols. Gardening brigades will work on the constant upkeep of the park. The investment was reported at RD$49 million.
The area’s northern side is known as Avenida de la Salud and is closed to vehicular traffic from Monday to Friday from 5am to 9am, and in the evening from 5pm to 10pm and all day on weekends and holidays. The avenue is popular with runners, and is used for walks and bicycle strolls.
Collado thanked several private companies that contributed RD$15 million to install led lighting along the Avenida de la Salud from Av. Winston Churchill to Av. Luperón. These included Orange, Propagas, Gatorade, ARS Humano, Café Santo Domingo and United Capital.
“We need a more human city, where we can enjoy its green areas, its sidewalks,” he said.
