Cancún, Quintana Roo — The Benito Juárez city government launched a cleanup and maintenance drive at Parque de la Equidad, an effort officials say will benefit more than 200,000 residents who use the park for walking, exercise and recreation.

The work began Tuesday under the city’s Public Services Department, which sent six brigades to different stretches of the park to mow overgrowth, collect green waste, clear obstructions around streetlights and clean the central median and bike lane.

Two of the teams started at specific points along the park’s main corridors. One began at the intersection of Chac Mool Avenue and 20 de Noviembre Avenue, working toward José López Portillo Avenue. The second started on 20 de Noviembre Avenue, covering the stretch from Chac Mool Avenue to Kabah Avenue.

Officials said the goal is to keep public spaces in good condition and provide cleaner, safer and more orderly surroundings for residents.
