  • The municipal government is using a paving train donated by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, highlighting the historical significance of the work.
  • Residents expressed gratitude, noting that previous administrations had overlooked the area for approximately 26 years.

Ecatepec's municipal government has launched a significant infrastructure project, commencing the repaving of Circuito Morelia Norte. This vital road serves the Jardines de Morelos Quinta Sección neighborhood, a community that has endured over two decades of neglect. The current rehabilitation effort will cover more than 2.1 kilometers of avenues, addressing long-standing infrastructure deficits.

It is historic what we are doing, you know it, you perceive it and you have already started to feel it.

— Azucena Cisneros CossThe mayor declared the repaving project historic during the commencement ceremony.

Mayor Azucena Cisneros Coss declared the undertaking "historic," emphasizing the tangible impact on residents. The project utilizes a paving train donated to Ecatepec by Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the president. Cisneros Coss highlighted the administration's intensive work schedule, deploying over 30 pothole repair brigades and focusing on areas like Valle de Aragón and Jardines de Morelos, where more than 10 colonies have received comprehensive pothole services.

We are working at full speed, convulsing the government as much as we can. We work at night with more than 30 pothole repair brigades; both in the Valle de Aragón area, and on this side we are in all of Jardines de Morelos. We already have more than 10 comprehensive colonies in the pothole issue.

— Azucena Cisneros CossThe mayor described the intensive work schedule and scope of repairs.

Carlos Ramírez Brassetti, Director of Public Works, confirmed that 2.1 kilometers of roads in Jardines de Morelos Quinta Sección have already been rehabilitated. He announced that other key avenues, including Circuito Morelia Oriente and Sur, Boulevard Toluca, and the streets Guanajuato and Guadalajara, will also be repaved soon. This initiative aims to reverse decades of underdevelopment and the "stigma and discrimination" that have affected the municipality due to past governmental neglect.

We were never paid attention to in the neighborhood, but today here are the fruits, the work, the effort of our municipal president (Azucena Cisneros); today the flag was waved for the works to be carried out.

— Araceli García HernándezA community delegate expressed gratitude for the long-awaited improvements.

Local residents shared their experiences of prolonged neglect. Araceli García Hernández, a community delegate, expressed her appreciation for the current administration's efforts, stating that the "fruits" of their work are now visible. Salvador Oviedo, another resident, recalled that Circuito Morelia Norte had not received maintenance for over 20 years, leaving it in a state of severe deterioration. He contrasted this with the current improvements being made under Mayor Cisneros, noting that previous governments had "relegated" the community.

We were forgotten for quite some time.

— Salvador OviedoA resident described the period of neglect before the current repaving project.
