Cancun, QR. Business chambers asked the governor of Quintana Roo, Carlos Joaquín González, to be the intermediaries of both the Private Initiative and the unions of taxi drivers, dump trucks and other sectors that will be affected if the current layout of the Mayan Train tracks continues in its I pass through Playa del Carmen.
“Keeping the project as it is will cause a greater chaos than the existing one, caused by the initial soil mechanics works that are currently being carried out. The business sector concludes that it will not be viable, convenient and much less practical than the Playa del Carmen del Maya Trend is next to Federal Highway 307, ”the businessmen and union leaders jointly stated in a meeting called by the governor himself.
The position of the businessmen is supported by colleges of architects and engineers of the Riviera Maya, regarding the mobility problems that will be generated.
Lenin Amaro Betancourt, president of the Business Coordinating Council of the Riviera Maya (CCERM) He commented “what we propose is that both the Playa del Carmen station and the road be located on the periphery of the city, a project designed and approved more than 10 years ago, but which is waiting to be developed” .
The council leader assured that his proposal coincides with the concept of public policies of the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in the sense that the magnificent works carried out by the federal government do not benefit a single sector, but society as a whole. , because “if the train is going to run parallel to the Peripheral Ring, it would be to the west of the city, where Villas del Sol is located, benefiting the people by giving more mobility and less expense to our collaborators in the tourist industry.”
On the contrary, in the original outline of the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), it is thought that under the overpass there will be commercial premises, “which collides with reality and chaos, because it is an oversaturated area and does not support everything that develops around a station of the Maya TrendFurthermore, there are currently many properties that run parallel to the federal highway, which would have to be expropriated or their sale negotiated, which would entail protection lawsuits for the property of the disputed properties, ”added the business leader.
Interviewed in this regard, Rogelio Jiménez Pons, director of the Fonatur commented that he had a previous meeting with the businessmen and union sectors of Solidaridad and Tulum in which it was agreed to have a monthly meeting to expose them the permanent changes that the line of the road is having, since it is a living project that will listen to the proposals of the businessmen and all those affected by the works.
He considered it “difficult” to modify the layout at the height of Playa del Carmen, as requested by the hoteliers, but promised that the proposal will be taken to President López Obrador.
