Introduction to Clara Brugada and Her Role
Clara Brugada Molina, the Jefa de Gobierno (Mayor) of Mexico City, has demonstrated her commitment to addressing the needs of local communities. In response to requests from residents of San Miguel Ajusco during the “Casa por Casa” program, Brugada initiated the “Obras son Amores para la Transformación” project.
Program Details and Community Benefits
The new program aims to improve the quality of life for San Miguel Ajusco residents through various actions and infrastructure projects. The initiative focuses on enhancing public spaces, security, transportation, and healthcare services.
Public Space Recovery with “Yolótl Anáhuac”
One of the key components of this intervention is the “Yolótl Anáhuac” program, which seeks to recover facades and public spaces through urban art. Muralists will perform artistic interventions on residents’ homes, capturing the community’s history, identity, and culture through figurative medallions and slogs.
Security Enhancement with a New Police Station
In response to community demands, Brugada announced the construction of a police station in the area to bolster security. The plan also includes establishing a public care space featuring a day center for the elderly, a rehabilitation center, free public laundry, a community dining area, and an early childhood care and development center. The community has been asked to suggest a suitable plot for these facilities.
Transportation and Mobility Improvements
The Secretary of Mobility, Héctor Ulises García Nieto, mentioned ongoing efforts to enhance public transportation. This includes expanding the RTP (Rapid Transit Public) route to reach a cycling path, improving connectivity between towns. Additionally, complaints about Ruta 70 have been addressed to improve service conditions.
Healthcare Services and Water Supply Solutions
The Secretary of Health, Nadine Gasman Zylbermann, highlighted the establishment of a health fair offering services such as blood pressure checks, glucose testing, nutritional guidance, pet vaccinations, vision exams with free glasses for those over 60 needing them, cervical cancer screenings, and contraceptive implants. The goal is to create a “Casa de Salud” (House of Health) within the public care system, providing comprehensive medical attention to residents.
The Secretary of Integral Water Management, José Mario Esparza Hernández, emphasized the importance of resolving water supply issues. Over 127 water tankers have been distributed based on community needs, while an integral project is underway. Next week, dredging and drainage rehabilitation works will commence. A working group with authorities and residents has been established to gather information, conduct diagnostics, and inspect current infrastructure. A definitive proposal for an integral water supply project ensuring daily potable water will be presented on July 2nd.
