The Tulum Municipal Transit Authority, in coordination with the General Directorate of Inspection, launched a joint operation to free up public spaces in the Aldea Zamá neighborhood, with the goal of improving pedestrian and commercial mobility.
Transit Director Jessica Orozco Zavala reported that the action responds to direct requests from residents and property owners of the neighborhood. “Previously, we had come together with the tenants and owners of Aldea Zamá. Together with my Secretary of Public Safety and Citizen Protection, we observed that many tenants were occupying two or three spaces with motorcycles. We are addressing this situation because the public requested it,” she stated.
Orozco Zavala emphasized that the main objective is to recover public roads, prioritizing safe pedestrian and cyclist traffic. Currently, she explained, the operation is in the exhortation phase, which involves calling on property owners and tenants to voluntarily remove objects and vehicles obstructing public roads.
“We are urging citizens to begin removing the objects. With this, we begin the corresponding procedure, both for Traffic and Inspection,” he explained.
He indicated that the operation began in Aldea Zamá, but will be extended to other locations in the municipality of Tulum. He announced that in the event of a repeat offense or noncompliance with the exhortation, authorities will proceed to remove the vehicles and objects, each agency acting within its powers.
He said that his department would proceed with the seizure and transfer of the vehicles to the municipal impound lot. He maintained that this operation seeks to create a more orderly, safe, and accessible urban environment for all residents and visitors of the municipality.
For his part, Manuel Cano, administrator of the commercial area of Block 12 and also the urban image spokesperson for Aldea Zamá, stated that without a doubt, the issue of regulation is something that must be addressed constantly.
“We’ve worked with the Transit Department and various departments to regulate parking spaces. I think it’s a good time to regulate this, especially for the common good,” he said.
