Alameda Central and its adjacent streets remained clear of protests by street vendors for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. The area, which had seen an improvised market set up by disgruntled vendors over the weekend and Monday, now features constant traffic flow.
Elements from the Secretariat of Government and Citizen Protection maintain a presence throughout the park. Inside the Alameda, walkways and fountains are accessible to pedestrians, with no public vendors present. However, feminist collectives were observed selling products on the periphery, along รngel Peralta and the sidewalk next to Avenida Juรกrez.
The Plaza de la Solidaridad also remains free of street vendors, a contrast to its usual state with semi-permanent stalls and tents, even on non-market days.
Local Government Secretary Cรฉsar Cravioto stated that the operation to regulate commerce in the area will continue daily. "Every day, the team from the @SeGobCDMX is in the territory taking care of the area to keep commerce in order and ensure public space is 100% for the citizens," the official posted on social media.
