Protest in Cancino Adentro: Residents demand solution to road deterioration and environmental problems
The inhabitants of Third Street in Cancino Adentro, a sector popularly identified as El Transfer, have raised their voices regarding the crisis their community is facing. Through an urgent call, residents announced the organization of a work stoppage for next Monday, as a pressure measure due to the lack of responses from local authorities.
Citizen discontent focuses on three critical points that have made daily life unsustainable for families in the area:
- The advanced state of deterioration of the main road, which hinders both vehicular traffic and pedestrian movement.
- The constant and excessive flow of garbage trucks heading to the sector’s landfill, which have accelerated the destruction of the road infrastructure.
- The persistent presence of smoke that pollutes the air, putting the health of residents at risk.
This street is impassable. Trucks pass by constantly towards the landfill and we are the ones who have to put up with the dust, the poor condition, and everything this situation generates.
Complaint from a community resident.
The situation has reached a critical point, where citizens feel that their previous complaints have been ignored. The concern is not only about the damage to private property, but about the direct impact on public health, especially given the constant smoke emanating from the vicinity of the landfill. A resident, known locally as the baker, emphasized that numerous families reside in the area who deserve decent living conditions.
Pressure measures in the absence of responses
The call for a strike on Monday seeks to be the definitive mechanism to capture the attention of municipal institutions. The community members have been clear: they are exhausted from waiting for solutions that do not arrive and have decided to paralyze traffic on the street from the early hours of the morning.
The call is directed at municipal authorities and institutions in charge of waste management, whom they urge to intervene immediately before the protest escalates. Residents of Cancino Adentro hope that this joint action will achieve the necessary commitment to rehabilitate the road and guarantee a healthier environment for everyone.
