A group of citizens gathered to discuss the possible future of "broker Portillo," the road between Punta Poppy's Barbecue, affirmed the need to manage and regulate traffic in the area but strongly opposed any measure that results in exclusion of the people in general.
The meeting was held in response to concerns expressed privately and publicly about what happened recently in Punta Poppy when a prominent employee unauthorized manner in the municipality tried to build a wall to benefit private interests. ; The recent construction of police lying face Balcones del Atlántico (for a total of 7 obstacles in the road) reflects a pattern of increased invasion by the project and the accelerated construction of sidewalks and curbs on the way Poppy Punta Grande Open added to the impression that something was brewing that was unknown in the community.
The meeting clarified that the plan of reorganization (right ) made over a year ago by architect Marcelo Albuquerque at the request of the Ministry of Tourism includes the construction of a road parallel to the beach from the Laguna Marica to balconies, with parking and access roads to the beach every 300 meters. Similar plans have attended since ancient times but the plan of reorganization is currently abandoned.
Pedro Catrain said a plan of reorganization is good but worried if it results in exclusion of the people. Santiago Abreu de Leon, who just returned from a meeting in the capital on issues, clarified that the so-called Atlantic Boulevard will end up as such in the area of \u200b\u200bLa Noria, then continue as rural feeder roads to the village of Las Terrenas, after communicating with the new road to the barbecue and the street parallel to and described.
César Mieses announced that Friday will be a meeting at the Hotel Aligio where a previously selected group of citizens heard several proposals have been submitted through the planning office of the Ministry of Tourism which includes sections on pedestrian and health boulevard for pedestrians, cyclists and other uses, which would be built parallel to the existing road to El Portillo.
Luis Penzo Santos said a possible closure of the road concerned and to close or not businesses in the area should promote programs that benefit the people, similar to the way that worked and former Hotel Portillo even offering free transportation and domestic tourists. He suggested creating a commission to explore the benefits that could be promoted through several changes.
Lourdes Russa, speaking on behalf of the project Ramon Portillo Prieto said a road closure would violate the offer they have made more than 50 families who bought into the project, which includes direct access to the community of Las Terrenas, which would be difficult if the owners have to go round the other side and go to Las Terrenas and its most congested. It also means that proper planning would separate the tourist use of local use and instead of closing the existing would be better to regulate their use.
Robinson Espino said that a way out within the menu of possibilities would make the whole coast, from whales to Portillo, a city park, which would help to ensure that wealth and coastal biodiversity, which is the main offering that is Las Terrenas , is preserved and maintained. suggested that a meeting with the Mayor to further explore this possibility.
Alfredo Castillo provided a novel idea, which existed in the new Law of Municipalities, of creating opportunities to converse with people of the municipality to conduct business and make decisions, something similar to Nagua what happens in their "Open House" so as to reduce ignorance about relevant issues and keep the people in close consultation. Cree is a good way to contact politicians, leaders and people to hear and be heard.
The group ended with a decision expected to meet with the Tourism Ministry on Friday and then create a forum for relevant authorities to report what is or what is known before formulating a plan of action and thus prevent that act on the basis of rumors. It was stated that no one is opposed or a rearrangement or to an area management adequately represent local interests and tourism, but in no way should result in exclusion of the people and that the presence of a community is what makes this different and attractive tourist destination.
