I suppose since there no renderings or AI photos of the pier project, the Mayor and hubby cement guy aren’t too proud of their project. Any other contractors would be eager to show off their new pier.

They pay their "influencers" to convince everyone how wonderful it is. You'd be surprised how much of the local media, including social media, is on their payroll.

Still, show everyone your renderings. Be proud of what your vision is.
Every contractor what’s to show off their project. At least everyone can see and say, wow this is gonna be nice.

Not much to be proud of. They destroyed a perfectly good building and a lovely plaza with gardens, moved a wall a few inches, built a hill that cuts down on open space for public events, which was supposed to be the original intent: to increase the space for public events. They placed the ZIHUA letters in a terrible spot that not only blocks the view, but if people fall posing on it they could get killed falling on the rocks. They put a small amphitheater across from the letters meaning that any public event will either have people walking in front of it to reach the pier or else they'll have to take a long detour around the back, like before, in an area that will surely be used for relieving oneself, same as before. Now they're planting Ceiba trees on the hill, which will require enormous amounts of water to keep anything alive on it. There are no irrigation systems, and it looks like all the drainage is expected to run towards the pier as well as its entrance by the plaza. A major OOPS. And I expect several of the old trees there to die from the damage caused to their roots along with having plastic put down right up to the trees that will prevent any water from reaching any roots left on one side of them. It's a series of bad planning, all designed to pour cement and use the workers and materials of a certain construction company. That's why there are no public drawings available. While there will surely be "a view" from the hill, the views that have been lost negate any new view from 4 or 5 meters high. It's an insult to the people who use the pier on a daily basis as well as to our longtime visitors who like Zihuatanejo's quaintness and familiar scenery.
Oh, and it looks like the extension of the rocks they placed around the entire perimeter has affected the beach in front of the Sector Naval, causing the loss of several meters of beach, similar to the same kind of phuqup they caused at La Ropa with the Capricho del Rey project. Maybe you've seen what happened to the beach in front of El Marlín and Rossy's? It's all rocks now.
And taxpaying locals like me can't help but think how much better all that money could've been spent on something we actually need, like a hospital.

I agree 100%. It is absolutely disgusting how they have ruined the natural beauty of Zihuatanejo. Shame on them.

And now there's a huge koi pond (I mean, BIG hole) in the parking lot, half of which is now torn up. Not sure if anyone will be able to walk from the little bridge over the lagoon through the parking lot. Just my vent this morning.

The entire area is a disaster. I'm surprised the people who "planned" this obscenity, if there was indeed any planning, didn't consider better how to deal with the rain. It's obvious it's going to be a disaster zone during every single rain. But it's also a daily work area for boat operators as well as a tourist area.
The huge hole they dug looks like it will be unstable ground to put the new Capitanía building. It's almost as if the people "planning" this have done as terrible a job as possible on purpose in order to have to make repairs soon. Job security.
Nothing about this obra reflects quality. It's all about expenditures, and if Alex Serna was right, charging rents to the vendors who will later occupy the new area.

Looking at people walking through the mud on web cam this morning.
Just inexcusable not to have the plastic orange fence and gravel walkway for people to walk around.
Where’s OSHA?

These designers would have a great career ahead of them working for the current administration in Washington, D.C.!

Sounds like Reflecting Pool calibre work.
OMG that is it exactly!

Nice mud pit at the pier this morning.
You certainly wouldn’t want to lay down gravel for people to walk on to make it nice just to be proactive.
Oh yeah, proactive isn’t something for this project. Silly me.

I’ll bet all the boats at the pier aren’t too happy with all the mud being tracked into their vessels.
