Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - At the last Emiliano Zapata Home Owners' Association meeting, Puerto Vallarta Mayor Salvador González Reséndiz talked about the City Works improvements slated for 2011, in particular, the city's plan to bury the unsightly overhead wires on the main streets of the Romantic Zone.

The Mayor pointed out that CFE did an excellent job in the underground wiring on the main streets in El Centro, which improved the downtown area's appearance long before this year’s biggest project, the Malecón renovations, was started.

According to Reséndiz, city workers will begin burying electric cables on the main streets of the Romantic Zone, including Olas Altas, Ignacio L. Vallarta and portions of Insurgentes. Basilio Badillo already has an underground wiring system in place.

News of this new project was well received amongst the neighborhood’s residents. Mayor González Reséndiz pointed out that this is just one of this year's City Works projects that aim to attract more tourism to the downtown and south side areas of Puerto Vallarta.

Renovations are planned from the 5 de diciembre neighborhood all the way down to the Romantic Zone; with an investment of nearly $38 million pesos, which when combined with CFE’s support, brings the total investment to $45 million pesos.
