Where there is no merchandise exhibited during the day, there are rows of motorcycles, compact vehicles, golf carts, and other vehicles, that prevent pedestrian traffic. When the sidewalks are occupied, pedestrians must walk in the street and risk being run over, and it all becomes more chaotic at time when there are greater numbers of visitors.
Tourism providers say the most vulnerable are the elderly and children. Everyone must hurry up because behind them are golf carts, taxis, scooters, and compact cars, which are also parked on and by the curbs and sidewalks, as well as merchandise blocking the pedestrian areas.
This is occurring while the high temperatures are causing exhaustion and susceptibility to heat stress, and according to the Red Cross, there are about a dozen cases daily.
Public Prosecutor (Ministerio Publico) closed this Saturday

This isn't the first time the Prosecutor's office in Isla Mujeres has been closed on Saturday, when those who want to file a complaint must wait until Monday.
At this time, it is not known who will replace the two agents who were shot in a criminal attack on Friday night, which occurred in Puerto Juarez. Both had been working in the Isla Mujeres office for some time. The commander of the Prosecutor's Office Héctor J. Ch. B. was injured and hospitalized, and agent Juan C. M. L. was killed by gunmen at an attack at a private property (marina restaurant-bar) in Puerto Juarez. Four employees also died in the attack, and a employee was injured. The gunman weren't found.
Beaches are full of visitors

On Saturday, Playa Centro and North Beach were being enjoyed by thousands of visitors, and dozens of tourist boats are anchored near the buoys. There were no problems, just minor incidents, with the lifeguards monitoring the buoy line to prevent people from going past the swimming zone and entering the dangerous area.
On land, many of the 800 available golf carts were rented, which is often the case during this vacation period. There were no problems in Punta Sur, Garrafón, Tortugranja, Sac-bajo, Mundaca and the Caribbean malecon (sea walkway). The Tourist Police and Tourism Office report there have been no complaints of thefts of belongings of tourists this season.
Renovation resumes of the wooden pier
Reanudan renovación de muelle de madera [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Work has resumed on the wooden pier that served as the gateway to Isla Mujeres for a century, after it had been discontinued for several months by the construction company that was doing the job. The APIQRoo state Port Authority has taken charge of the job directly and expect the work to be finished in less than a month.
It has been more than two years since the Magana ferry company discontinued service to Puerto Juarez. The work is expected to be completed before the end of this holiday season, and then recreational boats will be able to moor there, such as catamarans, which was occurring before the renovation work began.
