A Whiff of Zih

Rob, any update and or recent pictures of the work on the paseo

There have been some photos here if you go back through my "Zih" posts. The workers are doing a good job even if I don't like where the beach has been paved over in places. Looks like they're going to expand the platform at the west end of La Madera Beach, and we lost one of the beach accesses to the Paseo at the very north end of La Madera. The solar lights made with stainless steel are great except they used steel bolts to attach them to their concrete anchors, and so they are doomed to corrode at the base, and of course the batteries will probably get stolen as will the electric cable if the past is any indicator.

They broke up a particular rock I liked that I always walked on since before there was even a walkway, so I wasn't happy about that. The plantings look good. Let's hope they get watered. Someone already stole one of the long nylon ropes, so all were removed until the politicians are ready to pose in front of it during its inauguración. Little sitting areas will have some kind of roof structure, which is one of the things they're currently working on.

I already noticed this past rainy season that parts of the walkway where it was widened get struck harder by the waves when the marea is up. It'll be interesting to see how it wears and if it causes erosion in parts of the beach where the beach was further invaded.

Gotta hand it to the workers for stretching out the project for so long. Job security!
