From Por Esto :
One peripheral bus route
Concesión de transporte para cuatro rutas
The 25-year contract for a public transportation system is still awaiting approval by the state Congress. There will be one route around the perimeter of the island (see photo). It is presumed that the ten vehicles on the island will depart near the municipal Mercado downtown, traveling west on Mateos (in front of the cemetery) to Rueda Medina (main street), going south on prolongacion Rueda Medina to La Gloria, before returning north on the Caribbean coastal road, and west to Medina by the Naval base.
The hours of service will be 6am to 10pm, every half hour. Unofficial sources indicate the fee may be about 8 pesos. The Mayor has estimated that it should begin operating in November. (The headline says there are four routes; the other three are on the mainland.)
Broken covers on new Aguakan installations
Caen turistas en registros recién instalados
Aguakan is installing new drainage connections over a four-kilometer stretch at the southern part of the island, where there are many tourists traveling in golf carts or on foot. There are open trenches and broken concrete covers, which is causing concerns about potential accidents.Storm drainage system is in good shape
En buen estado la red pluvial de la isla
Personnel with Civil Protection reported that the entire network of storm water drainage is in good condition and ready in case there is heavy rainfall in upcoming days. A report is given based on the NHC information on Wednesday, noting there are currently no threats to the coast of Quintana Roo, but weather is being monitored that is some distance away.It is noted that tourism activity has diminished on the island, which is expected to continue over the next sixty days.
Here's this afternoon's NHC graphic & update...
The front X is a tropical wave with only has a 10% chance of development over the next five days, because of upper level winds hindering it.
The X behind it is a tropical wave with a 30% chance of development by early next week.
The orange system has a 40% chance of development and could form a tropical depression early next week.
As they get closer to land and if they develop, NHC will publish their probable tracks.
Tropical Storm Jerry will be tracking up the east side of the Leeward Island and Puerto Rico.
