Over Two Hours To Go From Chapultepec to Maneadero, in Ensenada

The Chapultepec-Maneadero stretch of the Transpeninsular road, which normally take around 10 minutes to cross, took motorists over two hours to cross yesterday due to the highway conditions of the alternate road, as well as temporary road repair work that was carried out on the highway.

Through various social media groups, road users expressed their dissatisfaction with the traffic congestion registered from morning until evening, which caused delays in their arrival at their destinations, such as work and school.

The personnel of the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) in Baja California informed that, after the recent rains in the area, a layer of stone coating has been placed where it was most needed, in order to expedite the flow of mobile units. The rains on Wednesday caused damage to the road surface.

A mudslide was reported on the alternate road. Road users mentioned that there were sections with large puddles, where only sedan-type vehicles could barely pass. However, they warned others not to use the access road comprised by Francisco de Anza Avenue, a dirt road that runs parallel to the highway in front of the Immaculate Conception of Mary parish, where there was a mudslide and various vehicles were stuck since Wednesday afternoon.

Baja California Updates Cinematography Law

Baja California has the conditions to become one of the most important states in Mexico in the so-called “Screen Tourism”, that is, having a greater development of the film industry.

Claudia Agaton Muniz, state congresswoman, pointed this out and highlighted the interest of Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda in promoting cinematographic activities.

In the State Congress, the legislator added, the Cinematography Law was already updated, which had not been modified for fifteen years and required updating language and technical terms, as well as including new information technologies.

She announced that the State Cinematography Advisory Council will be formally established in the near future, in which representatives from the different sectors participating in the industry will participate to coordinate actions and promote financing, as well as strengthen distribution and exhibition channels.

She commented that planning is underway for a large cinematographic forum and festival to be held in Baja California, in which activities can be held in most of the municipalities in the state.

Agaton Muniz emphasized that in Baja California there is a lot of talent in different artistic and creative areas, as well as a great diversity of settings or locations that can be used for film, television, and series productions.

One of the important points, she said, is to have the necessary financing for these types of productions and to offer conditions for producers from other parts of the country or abroad to come and produce in the region.

In some countries, she concluded, the so-called “screen tourism”, that is, the film and television industry, is an important generator of jobs and resources.

Water Supply in Ensenada Insufficient for This Summer

The urban area of Ensenada will suffer serious water supply problems during the summer season, which requires immediate action to expand sources of supply, but also for the population to make more efficient use of the water resource. Wenceslao Martínez Santos, coordinator of the Water Interdisciplinary Group (GIA), indicated that while in other cities of the state the so-called “Green Bonus” was announced, in Ensenada no specific program with that resource is known. “In the last meeting we had with officials from the Secretariat for Water Management, Sanitation and Protection (Seproa), there was no specific data on any program already authorized to apply the Green Bonus in this municipality,” he said.

Martínez Santos indicated that the supply sources are insufficient to cover the demand of the Ensenada population, and with a distribution system that has constant leaks, between 30 to 40 percent of the distributed water is lost. He added that, so far, there is no knowledge of a substantial increase in supply sources, and regarding what is announced as the solution, which is the expansion of the water desalination plant, the works would take a year and a half to two years.

It is essential, emphasized Martínez Santos, that the amplification of that plant begins as soon as possible because as the supply sources decrease, the number of inhabitants increases, and consequently, the demand for water also increases.

SEDETI assures that US bank bankruptcies will not affect Tijuana’s economy

The Secretary of Economic Development of Tijuana (Sedeti), Alejandro Mungaray, has stated that the recent bankruptcy of several banks in the United States is unlikely to have a significant impact on the city’s economy. In a recent statement, Perez Behr emphasized that Tijuana’s financial system is not directly linked to that of the United States, and therefore is not directly affected by any instability in the US banking sector.

According to Mungaray, Tijuana’s economy is largely driven by the manufacturing industry, which has remained resilient throughout the pandemic. He also noted that the city has been able to attract a number of new businesses and investments in recent months, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

The recent bankruptcy of several US banks has raised concerns about the potential impact on the global economy, but Perez Behr remains optimistic about Tijuana’s prospects. He emphasized that the city has a strong and diversified economy, and that it is well-positioned to weather any potential economic turbulence.

While the bankruptcy of several US banks is a cause for concern, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on Tijuana’s economy. With a strong manufacturing industry and a track record of attracting new businesses and investments, the city is well-prepared to face any challenges that may arise in the coming months.

New Cold Front to Enter Baja California, Warns Civil Protection

According to reports, a new cold front is expected to enter Baja California, which could bring significant drops in temperature across the region. The state’s civil protection agency has warned residents to prepare for potential cold weather hazards, including heavy rain, snowfall and icy roads on the highest part of the state.

The cold front is expected to arrive Tuesday night, and its effects are likely to be felt for several days. Temperatures are expected to drop by up to 10 degrees Celsius, which could result in dangerous conditions for those who are not adequately prepared.

Residents are being advised to take precautions, such as ensuring that their homes are properly insulated and that they have enough warm clothing and blankets. Motorists are also being urged to exercise caution when driving, particularly on highways and mountainous areas where black ice could form.

This is not the first time that Baja California has experienced cold weather in recent months. In January, a cold front brought snow and freezing temperatures to the region, causing several road closures and power outages. The civil protection agency responded by setting up shelters for those in need and distributing blankets and other supplies to affected communities.

As climate change continues to impact weather patterns around the world, extreme weather events such as cold snaps are becoming more common. It is essential that governments and communities take steps to prepare for these events, including investing in infrastructure to withstand extreme weather and educating citizens on how to stay safe during these periods.

In Baja California, the civil protection agency plays a critical role in responding to cold weather events and ensuring that residents are aware of the risks and how to stay safe. By staying vigilant and taking the necessary precautions, residents can help minimize the impact of the cold front and protect themselves and their communities from harm.

24 Individuals Rescued from Drifting Boat off Baja California Coast

In a daring rescue operation, 24 Mexican individuals were saved from a drifting boat off the coast of Playas de Tijuana, Baja California. The group, consisting of men, women, and children, had been adrift for several hours before being spotted by a local fisherman who alerted the authorities.

The rescue mission involved the collaboration of various organizations, including the Mexican Navy, the Red Cross, and the Coast Guard. The teams worked tirelessly to locate the vessel and bring the passengers to safety.

The individuals rescued were reportedly in good health, although they were understandably shaken by the ordeal. They were provided with medical attention and food before being transported to a nearby port for further processing.

The boat, it seems, was trying to cross to the USA illegally when it lost power.

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of maritime travel, particularly in open waters. It also highlights the importance of having proper safety equipment and emergency protocols in place for all boats and vessels.
