Naucalpan's El Molinito Market Undergoes Rehabilitation for Mexicable Line 3

The El Molinito market in Naucalpan is buzzing with activity as it prepares for the arrival of Mexicable Line 3. Municipal authorities have initiated rehabilitation work, with three of the market's six naves now sporting new roofing and fresh paint. However, vendors acknowledge that more improvements are needed.

"We have to keep managing resources so the market looks better," said Salvador Hernández, a member of the market's Directive Board. He noted that discussions with the city council continue to enhance the market's infrastructure, which has stood for over 60 years and is a significant part of Naucalpan's history.

The recent rehabilitation included new roofing sheets and structural ironwork maintenance. The market's chapel, designed by architect Gustavo Hernández, also received an update. With the construction of the El Molinito Mexicable station, the market's parking area was reduced, prompting vendors to request a new three-level parking facility to handle the anticipated increase in visitors.

Currently, only 35 parking spaces remain after the construction occupied over 400 square meters. The merchants are proposing a parking structure with capacity for 300 vehicles, potentially including an underground level. The El Molinito market spans 3,800 square meters and hosts around 500 businesses offering a wide range of products, attracting an estimated 700 to 2,000 visitors daily.
