Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Municipal officials are preparing to regularize local markets and plan rescue actions for the Diana Laura Riojas market in the Luis Donaldo Colosio neighborhood, where 77 stalls are closed and about 30 are subleased.
Estefanía Hernández, Secretary of Urban Development and Investment Attraction, said a recent diagnosis of municipal markets showed a need to formalize these spaces and upgrade infrastructure.
The popular market’s upper floor has been closed since previous administrations, and Hernández outlined a three-point plan for its revival: order, cleanliness, and security. She emphasized the goal of reopening all stalls in the building.
Hernández revealed that the abandoned second floor contains dead animals and unsuitable conditions for a market, requiring a thorough cleanup. She also noted the lack of potable water service in that section, adding that officials will assess technical requirements for repairs before reopening.
