Tijuana, Baja California – Municipal authorities in Tijuana launched a new phase of the Tijuana Clean City program, delivering urban upgrades to neighborhoods in Sánchez Taboada, Otay Centenario, and La Mesa. Mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz spearheaded the initiative to enhance public safety and community well-being through targeted infrastructure improvements.
Tijuana Clean City program reaches three delegations
The day’s activities began at the Colegio de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos (CECYTE) campus in Urbi Villa del Prado II, where local Deputy Ramón Vázquez oversaw the work. Crews painted 200 linear meters of curb markings at two pedestrian crossings and thoroughly cleaned the sports court. These measures will directly benefit more than 3,000 residents in Sánchez Taboada.
Next, officials moved to Rancho Rivero in the Otay Centenario delegation. On Revolución Mexicana street, Councilor Miguel Loza supervised the resurfacing of 1,200 square meters of roadway. Workers removed 10 tons of debris and sediment, restoring a smoother, safer street surface for roughly 1,000 locals.
In the Los Álamos subdivision of La Mesa, teams focused on a general cleanup along Granada Street. They hauled away 16 tons of trash and pruning waste before resurfacing 2,500 square meters of roadway. These upgrades will improve mobility and street safety for about 2,300 people in the area.
Improving safety and infrastructure
The program’s scope reflects the city’s commitment to both urban improvement and road safety. Adriana Barrera Hernández, acting head of the Delegations Coordination, joined the delegation leaders—Teresa García Bañuelos of Sánchez Taboada, Claudia Casas Valdés of Otay Centenario, and Bianka Najar Soto of La Mesa—to inspect the completed work.
By concentrating on curb painting, debris removal, and road resurfacing, the Tijuana Clean City program addresses critical maintenance needs. Well-marked crosswalks enhance visibility for drivers and pedestrians. Smooth streets reduce vehicle damage and lower the risk of accidents. Clean public spaces foster civic pride and encourage community gatherings.
Mayor Burgueño Ruiz reiterated that these projects form part of a broader strategy. “We will continue to invest in our neighborhoods,” he said. “Safe streets and clean public areas are essential for quality of life.” Under his leadership, the municipal government plans to extend similar actions to other delegations in the coming months.
Residents across Tijuana have praised the focus on local needs. Parents reported feeling more secure letting children play at freshly cleaned courts. Commuters noted the difference on newly resurfaced roads. Small business owners near the work sites expressed relief at improved access and cleaner surroundings.
As Tijuana grows, municipal leaders view the Tijuana Clean City program as a vital tool to meet evolving urban demands. The combination of targeted repairs, thorough cleanups, and community engagement aims to create lasting benefits. With over 6,300 beneficiaries in this phase alone, the program sends a clear message: Tijuana is committed to cleaner, safer neighborhoods for all.
