It will be too late for some businesses that have already closed their doors, while others have seen a major turndown in customer activity. The once popular boulevard crammed with restaurants has been labeled Via Venecia (Venice)on social media following regular flooding during rainfall. The current mayor Raisa Banfield standing in for Jose Isobel Blandon, who has stepped aside as he bids to be the Panamenista presidential candidate, explained that they are changing and separating the storm drainage and sanitary system include changing the current diameter of the pipes and when completed the flooding problem will be solved, by which time she will be well into her campaign to be the city’s next mayor. https://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/panamas-venice-flood-free-in-march Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The representative of Bella Vista, Ricardo Domínguez, accompanied by Banfield have finally admitted that both projects are at least two months behind schedule, but lay the blame on the month-long construction strike. Dominguez explained that infrastructures were over 50 years old and caused problems, such as floods and pressure changes in the pipes of the buildings. In addition, in a citizen consultation, there was a great acceptance for the creation of a public space in Einstein Square, in El Cangrejo. Andrés Bello Park is expected to be inaugurated again between October 31 and November 15. Meanwhile, acting mayor, Banfield, said that there is a great ignorance about the integral project that is being carried out. She said that this is an infrastructure work that integrates pedestrian mobility, the residences, and businesses in V Via Argentina. “Without excusing our mistakes, we had to reinforce inspections to finish these works so that Argentina be a model for the capital city, ” she said. https://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/city-hall-admits-mistakes-in-construction-orojects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
