Don't worry about all that excessive lighting. Like public construction everywhere else, the light bulbs will eventually all burn out. Oh, there'll be a flurry of maintenance the first time they burn out.....then less and less frequent.....until the little plaza finally returns closer to its old self.

Why can't things sometimes be left just as they are? This is not an improvement. It's antiseptic and lifeless.....a place to sit waiting for the next subway train.

Unfortunately the lights aren't old-fashioned bulbs but the latest hi-tech LED crap from China. They'll probably outlast most of us. It's the rest of the installation that will likely fail first. I'm waiting for the drunks to climb on them.

Trees lower air temperatures and humidity; they can also influence wind speed. Evaporation of water from trees, or transpiration, has a cooling effect. ... Trees in parking lots have been shown to reduce asphalt temperatures by 36 degrees Fahrenheit and car interiors by up to 47 degrees Fahrenheit.

I didn’t know they were putting in a subway, it will be great to not have to climb the Irma hill!

And, presumably, a lawsuit would be a waste of time?

Perhaps not if you have the money. I don't.

Well, as I learned many years ago, if you don't own it, you can't control it. We were kids at the time and couldn't understand how the corner lot down the street which had been our personal baseball field for numerous years, could be turned into a gas station.

But this was not private property, and elected representatives are not royalty. Our family did own it together with other neighbors. It was donated to the city in good faith, a faith very rudely, blatantly and unforgivably betrayed due to arrogance, ambition and avarice.

We, like you are totally appalled at the way the alley ended up.

However, the mural on the wall on the east side of your space is by the muralist who did the 30 meter long mural around our pool. He does fabulous work!

Unfortunately/fortunately he does fabulous work.

The mural is lovely. I believe it could’ve been painted without devastating the little green space our family had tried to conserve.

As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,393 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (1 more than yesterday), 193 that have resulted in fatalities, 37 that are currently active, and approximately 2,015 that have recovered. Petatlán currently has 4 active cases while La Unión has 0.

Today was a bit milder than yesterday thanks to a nice little breeze. Rain clouds danced around in the distance and thunderstorms are in today's local forecast, but it's just a tease. And nothing in the forecast after today for the foreseeable future even though the Temporada de Huracanes officially began yesterday.
Keep up with our local weather.

What used to be a garden with shade trees is now a concrete alleyway with extreme light pollution (we went from 3 lights to over 20). Note the last tall palm tree on Playa Principal, which could be cut down when the government (aka the taxpayers) builds a huge new palapa with enormous concrete posts for Casa Arcadia.
