Demolition Progress And Renovation Progress. Reports, Pics And Videos

Don't kill the messenger. Just putting this out there in full as rumors will circulate. Translated from this article dated 7/25/2016 - Ganan activistas round. Ordena juez suspensión de obras a Hotel Temptation sobre ciclovía de Cancún – Pedro Canché Noticias

The Seventh District Court of Cancun granted a temporary suspension to the expansion works carried out by the Hotel Temptation, owned by businessman Diego de la Peña, on a stretch of the bike path on kilometer 3.5 of the hotel zone, reported activist Tiziana Roma .

He explained that the suspension will serve to stop the works of this hotel and thus allow the authorities to review the documents that endorse this work, issued by both the National Fund for Tourism (Fonatur) and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Semarnat) and the Ecology Department of the City of Benito Juárez.

"First they said that they were not going to play the bike path and, of course, they issued the Fonatur permit from November 26, 2015 to modify the cycle path. But it was not for Fonatur to give that permission, at all. "

About the authorization that Semarnat gave the Hotel Temptations when the bike path has nothing to do with the Environmental Impact Manifestation. Some time later, in January, they said they would only do one construction and then return that stretch, and nothing.

Tiziana Roma said that another reason to stop the work is that this cycle path is part of the original map of Cancun, contemplated in the inventory of works considered as cultural heritage of the municipality, although in this list were only considered monuments of the first picture of the City, but not the hotel zone. However, he added, with the expansion of this catalog, it was contemplated to expand it to where the cycle path is.

"It is a public space and public spaces belong to everyone: sidewalks, parks ... They belong to us, that is the number one and the most important argument. Then comes that the bicycle road is the first built in the whole country, no Mexico City had a bike path in the 70's and, in those years, when Cancun is built, it was born with a bike path. It is now fashionable to make bicycle lanes in the cities and we were born with one, we were born as a city of vanguard that prioritized pedestrians and cyclists.

The Temptation Bet

Activist Tiziana Roma warned that this process to recover the bike path can be a long time and that they are presenting a fight that, in principle, would correspond to the City.

"We are presenting evidence, putting our money and effort, when in fact who is responsible to do this is the municipal authority."

He accused both Fonatur and the municipal authorities of being silent about this abuse.

"They are throwing all the ball all the authorities named in the amparo, to the point that the municipal administrator (Mirna Karina Martinez) says that I have no right to complain because I do not live near the ciclopista."

He also said he was incredulous at the attitude of the owners of the Hotel Temptation, who since January said they would respect this section of the cycle track, which would only make a tunnel and replace that section, now invaded.

"They are pure lies and long lies what they are telling us ... I can not believe that the Hotel Temptation had the guts to deceive us in that way, to rob us in the sunlight of a space as emblematic as the cycle path. They bet to oblivion to resume their works ".

However, Tiziana Rome hoped that the authorities would fail in their favor and restore that stretch of the cycle path.

"All laws aim at rescuing public spaces, such as the National Security Law, the Human Settlements Act, the Construction Law, all of which protect the safeguard of public space, so I am convinced that the law will prevail , That justice will be in favor of citizens. "

 

Already on it. Give me a couple of hours to get a response.

 

I also know the pharmacist across the street at the Ahora. Already trying to get in touch with him.
I know, I know, why the hell do you know the Pharmacist, Lots of Viagra purchases! LOL

 

I am looking at my pics from a month back and not even seeing the cycle path. I see the walking path. Was the cycle path on the beach side of the walking path? And temporarily consumed by the construction zone? And maybe now the worry is it isn't coming back?

 

We booked a Lush Tower Oceanfront suite and were looking forward to checking out the new tower. If the damn cycle path doesn't stop us. Of all the things. Never thought we would be stopped by a cycle path. Sure Original resorts is muttering the same thing right now.

 

This will officially become the most viewed and stalked topic on the forum!!

 

It isn't by coincidence that this is happening 3 weeks before they open. It's called manipulation for bribery!!!
Someone needs a new car or something and they're using this to get it done. Or one of the other resorts has caused this as a F you to the De la Pena's

 

Ha funny. I just figured out how to sort threads by # of views. This is at 192,981. The largest view thread in history of the site is the originally Octoberbreast group which had 443,650 views. Octoberbreast official group
That thread went from May 2013 to Jan 2016 so had a lot more time to get up that high.

A long way to go but it is possible for sure.

 

Let's calm down. This "source" is the only place I can find anything about this story. We do know there are concerns with the bike path, but if it was shut down, wouldn't it make other news sources? Also, if I found the owner of the source on Twitter, correctly, he himself is an activist. We're booked for the First Week and after seeing what I've seen on his Twitter feed, I'm not concerned in the slightest. Lots of activist stuff and tweets with click-backs to the media on his own website (where this article came from).

 

Of all of the possible delays. This seems like the easiest fix. Wonder how it got to this point
