A group of vision professionals will conduct a week-long campaign at the Red Cross facility offering consultations for 50 pesos, which include screening for glaucoma, cataracts, keratonconus, and diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy. Patients can pay 50% down when ordering lenses which start at 499 pesos.The second brief is about the book presentation and the third is a complaint by Alberto Candelario Burgos Uc over the behavior of a police officer that he was involved in an argument with after the citizen advised the officer that his patrol vehicle was badly parked and affecting the flow of traffic within the parking lot of the downtown mercado, where the officer and his partner were having breakfast.
The fourth brief is about an ecotourism development project on the mainland in the Yalahau lagoon by the Isla Mujeres ejidatarios (whose land borders the neighboring municipality of Lazaro Cardenas).
Sufficient space to expand mainland landfill
Aún con suficiente espacio
Sufficient space remains for the construction of another section of landfill in the mainland area of the municipality, and there is adequate space remaining in the current area until the construction is completed. The regional landfill, located in the municipality of Isla Mujeres, receives 1200 tons of trash from Cancun daily, as well as 80 tons from Isla Mujeres and Puerto Morelos. (Although for the past couple weeks, no trash has left the island because the transport trucks don't have access to the Transfer Facility due to work being done at the southern part of the island to install the wastewater network there. )An official who visited the site to assess the situation said that it is important that the recycling plant be reactivated to reduce the volume of waste. The most recent agreement, signed in 2013, said that Isla Mujeres would receive 200,000 pesos monthly and wasn't participating in the recycling project. (The municipality of Cancun, Benito Juarez, hasn't been paying those fees and is millions of pesos in arrears, and the Isla Mujeres mayor has said if-when they pay, he plans to invest in recycling.)
