Azcapotzalco, Naucalpan launch Calzada de La Naranja road renewal

Work has commenced on the rehabilitation of Calzada de La Naranja, a road connecting the Azcapotzalco and Naucalpan municipalities. Azcapotzalco Mayor Nancy Núñez highlighted the project's significant impact, emphasizing the strong relationship between the two areas and the initiative's focus on previously neglected border zones.

Today we unite because being together is what leads us to advance; we are one people and we must support each other and work together to build the well-being of the population with this transformative approach.

Núñez stated, "Today we unite because being together is what leads us to advance; we are one people and we must support each other and work together to build the well-being of the population with this transformative approach." The rehabilitation will include not only maintenance but also enhanced security measures and orderliness, particularly targeting illicit activities and "chelerías" (bars selling cheap alcohol) through joint "frontera" (border) operations.

Isaac Montoya detailed that the road will be fully paved with hydraulic concrete for longevity. The project also incorporates a new "safe path" with updated lighting, reconstructed sidewalks featuring universal accessibility, and new road safety signage. Improvements will extend to underpasses and green spaces. Montoya added, "With the government of Azcapotzalco, we have coordinated since day one of our government and we will continue to do so because, for the people, borders do not exist, and the problems are common."

With the government of Azcapotzalco, we have coordinated since day one of our government and thus we will continue to do so because, for the people, borders do not exist, and the problems are common. That is why today we take this step, which will benefit the population of both sides and will also become a legacy; the mandates end, but the works remain.

Cesar Cravioto, Secretary of Government of Mexico City, attended the project's launch, endorsing the leadership of Núñez and Montoya. He noted that prioritizing the public, especially in peripheral areas, is a hallmark of the "fourth transformation" political movement, contrasting it with previous administrations that neglected such zones. "This is the hallmark of the fourth transformation. Before, this area was never attended to because it involved boundaries and neighborhoods far from the center, but now, in the governments of the fourth transformation, the peripheries are the priorities, for the well-being of the citizens," Cravioto commented.
