A Santo Domingo court has extended the timescale to allow the Ministry of Public Works to submit the social and environmental impact studies for the site of the proposed bus station in Mirador East Park following a request by the lawyers for the neighborhood groups in the area.
The court, presided over by Carmen Canaán and includes Franklin Concepción and Claudia Peña, has set the hearing for 1 October 2018 to decide whether the construction should be stopped or allowed to proceed.
Local councilors from the municipality of Santo Domingo East have complained that the construction is illegal as they did not agree with the file and it does not have the necessary approvals as laid down by law.
Meanwhile, a report in Diario Libre looks into the pros for the construction on the site of the parking area of the Mirador del Este Sports Park.
