Sofia Medeles (Ajijic, Jal.) - The streets of the town of Ajijic not only suffer from potholes, but the sidewalks - both in the central area and on the periphery - are also severely deteriorated, according to a tour of LAGUNA through the picturesque town.
Pedestrians interviewed expressed the problems they face as they walked through them and made public their anger at the authorities' indifference to remedy the situation.
During the route of this medium, it was found that many of the sidewalks are affected - either with cracks, trees with invasive roots or with edges damaged by vehicular movement - besides that people preferred not to go through them, using the street, risking their integrity.

Banquet that the inhabitants defined as "neglected and narrow", on Hermenegildo Galeana street.
"They spend first on things they don't deal with, rather than fixing something that we all or almost all use every day, but since they're in a car, they don't even know about us pedestrians. I often pass through Galeana Street and before reaching the road and nowhere to walk, it is all ugly and very narrow. It is seen that their wear and tear is the cause of carelessness and unconscious cars hitting the sidewalks for irresponsible driving," said a neighbor on Galeana Street.
For his part, Ajijic's delegate, Juan Ramón Flores, stated that while there is no project as such for the rehabilitation of sidewalks, the Government of Chapala has supports for those reporting stool in poor condition, which is to put the hand of obra. "Who reports, would have to put the material, since the projectsare limited by the pandemic", said the interviewee.

Banquette in Independence, claim that it is damaged by the passage of cargo trucks.
The support has not been very well taken, such is the case of a native, who said, "Now it turns out that ducks throw at shotguns," alluding tothe unfairness of the deal, because that's why taxes are paid"and thosedon't forgive them,"he said.
For his part, the Municipal President, Moisés Alejandro Anaya Aguilar, said that there is already a pilot project that was carried out at Puerta del Horno, in Chapala, for the repair of sidewalks, in which - in the future - the delegation of Ajijic is considered, to solve the problem in pictures.
"In the past, they did not think for the long future and put poles and trees in the middle or on the edge of the sidewalks, so, to this day, it is a problem that has affected their infrastructure; However, we think about including Ajijic in a project that aims to solve this kind of problem," said Moses Anaya.
On the participatory budget, he comments that he is currently in detention, as the pandemic has affected a number of resources, however, reaffirmed the words of the delegate of Ajijic, ensuring that for the moment, the council's workforce is available whenever needed.
