RVGRINGO Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 The flat pavers are nice, but without a very good bed, they don‘t stay flat. However, they have the same benefits as cobblestones, in that they can be lifted and replaced easily. Many streets at Lakeside are laid upon mush, which gets mushier in the rainy season. WIthin the mush lie the water and sewer systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callejera Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 We just coughed up $300 pesos per family on my block to fix our street (SAT) which had gotten so bad from the rain that for several weeks the garbage truck couldn't get up here, let alone an ambulance in an emergency. We were told the exact same thing - there are guys to fix the cobblestones but no materials. Within hours after we all paid up, a crew was on site working on the road and now all is well. Maybe a little funky, but it sure worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibbocat Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I agree with most of the previous, this year no filling of potholes, no obvious attempt to repair at all, IMHO they are trying to drain us ex-pats, after 7 years this is almost holding us to ransom! Ocampo has had zero repairs this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 No question the new admin has a lot of fences to mend. But, please know the other villages were treated the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineyDay Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Maybe we could move all the signs from Chapala to Ajijic then maybe they would get confused and spend money here instead of Chapala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 We get all the government we deserve. Avery old saying. If no one stands up and holds them accountable they do what they want - which is take care of themselves. That is the political way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappysmarket Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 That's what makes the world interesting. If we all agreed about everything it would be a dull place indeed. You hit the key word though, respectfully, and I second that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennie2 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 as if the old admin is different from the new admin? what ever floats your boat. the expectations of expats far exceed what others expect. good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineyDay Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Riberas has the most neglected streets in the area. There are potholes as big S your swimming Pools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Riberas has representation by town councilmen called regidores. These are the only ones to help. I've given this information many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Riberas has the most neglected streets in the area. There are potholes as big S your swimming Pools! Many of the streets in Riberas are messed up because of broken water lines..If Simapa were to fix the leaks many of the streets would be in better condition and water not wasted.

ComputerGuy Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Not closed. As questioned recently in the other topic, what about Riberas? You guys think Ajijic is ignored, you should come take a look here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 But, we can't help Riberas. Only Riberas can help Riberas; by going to their regidores and raising hell. Do nothing and they will happily spend their time taking care of themselves. You know where that leads. No where and empty tax coffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 yes they will change October 1. You still have time to light a fire under their asses and get something. be sure they will be spending your tax money right up to the day they leave. You should also know and remember their names for the future. Remember what they have not done for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
