  • The El Salado regulator tank in Mexico City will be connected to the Utopía Cetram Acatitla.
  • A jogging track will be added as part of an integral project to enhance the area.
  • The project aims to create a recreational space for the public, combining hydraulic infrastructure with sports and leisure activities.

The El Salado regulator tank, recently rehabilitated, is set to become a more integrated public space with the addition of a jogging track. This new feature is part of a comprehensive plan to connect the tank with the adjacent Utopía Cetram Acatitla. Officials envision the entire perimeter becoming a "trotapista" – a jogging and running path – encouraging physical activity among residents. "The intention is that the population can pass through, and that the entire perimeter where we are currently sitting can be part of a jogging track," stated Raúl Basulto Luviano, Secretary of Works and Services. He added that a gate has been installed to link the area with Utopía Cetram Acatitla, facilitating access. The project also includes a bicycle parking area and aims to harmonize the hydraulic infrastructure with sports and recreational use, ensuring public access while maintaining the functionality of the water management system. The jogging track construction will commence after the completion of the hydraulic work.
