Two bus stops were installed downtown on Rueda Medina by the municipal department of Urban Development, in coordination with the municipal police and the municipal Transportation Department. The signs were installed and the street and curb were painted in front of Playa Centro and by the Port Authority (APIQRoo) facilities. There are plans to have 11 bus stops on the island with five downtown and six distributed strategically in the colonias.
There were 12 applicants for the Young Islander Merit 2020 competition and 8 met all the qualifications and are the finalists. The winners in their categories will be announced Oct. 2, and there will be Honorable Mention awards. This will be determined by the committee, independently of the social network results. Residents can vote for their favorite at the Facebook page ′′ Juventud Isla Mujeres ", starting September 25 until 8p on Sept. 28. The contest was announced on August 10th.
Today the anti-rabies campaign will be at the old hospital downtown and tomorrow it will conclude in colonia Guadalupana. Pets must be at least one month old and owners should wear face masks, respect healthy distancing and use antibacterial gel.
The Port Authoritiy (APIQRoo) has designated an area in the Maritime Terminal for the elderly, who are vulnerable, and those with disabilities, to give them direct access to the ferry and less exposure to the other passengers, to reduce their risk of contagion of C-19. After the state epidemiological light entered into the yellow phase, allowing access to the public beaches, passenger traffic increased, especially on weekends, when long lines have been observed. Passengers say that the number of departures needs to be increased and shouldn't be just hourly. (photo) LINK
