Cozumel Streets Rehabilitated with Cruise Fee Funds

Cozumel, Mexico — With an investment of 33 million pesos from the Cruise Passenger Fee Trust Fund, Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa has initiated the rehabilitation of the main streets and avenues of Cozumel, responding to numerous requests from the island's residents.

Accompanied by the Secretary of Public Works, José Rafael Lara Díaz, the Governor of Quintana Roo toured these streets alongside the municipal president, José Luis Chacón Méndez. During the tour, she affirmed that in this new way of governing, the voice of the people is indeed heard.

"And when we say investment, we say it clearly: it is the people's money returning to the people in the form of quality works that last longer, withstand the rains, and make travel safer," stated the head of the Executive branch.

Governor Lezama specified that these actions, which benefit the people of Cozumel, were approved by the members of the Cruise Passenger Fee Trust Fund, who contribute to continuing to improve the quality of life on the Island of the Swallows.

Secretary Lara Díaz reported that over 13,600 square meters of streets, such as 2nd North and 10th South Avenue, are being rehabilitated with more resistant hydraulic concrete. The work includes releveling storm drains, installing new signage, and improving sidewalks, all designed for safe, efficient mobility with less flooding.

During the street tour, Governor Mara Lezama emphasized that "Cozumel is the number one cruise destination in the country and deserves dignified streets that are worthy of its hardworking people and the thousands of visitors who arrive every day."

She added that this is how the New Agreement for the Well-being and Development of Quintana Roo is being built, with works that transform people's lives, because maintaining the streets and roadways of Cozumel and all of Quintana Roo in a dignified and good condition "of course matters to us!"
