Description

The Requesters allege possible impacts on the quality of life and livelihood of the Requesters, due to the intervention of sidewalks and roads, mainly Calle Mitre, which are part of the construction work of the Program. Specifically, the Requesters allege: Potential impacts on the tourism activities of the area, the Requesters’ main economic activity, due to the long construction period of the Program's works and which have hindered the normal transit of people and automobiles. In addition, according to the Request, part of the construction work is built above the property entrances or block the entrance to their homes. Possible impact to the property of the Requesters due to the lack of enough storm drains, sufficient water supply pipes and sewage in poor condition, which causes a potential flooding-risk. They also allege damages to public lighting structure that, in some areas, is already insufficient. Finally, the Requesters warn about the lack of prevention and detection of risks linked to the Program in the event of a disaster (fire or flood) since the current construction work limits the passage of vehicles. The Request warns of a possible non- compliance with the Access to Information Policy, due to the lack of available information on the construction works, construction times and the completion of these.
