The announced renovation of the main street Pedro Clisante in Sosúa started on Tuesday morning November 10.
At the beginning of the street, there are five signs to announce the work in progress.
One worker under the supervision of three supervisors started working with a jackhammer.
He breaks the concrete of the sidewalks with it.
While all business owners are pleased with these renovations, there is also much criticism.
Start renovation work Pedro Clisante
First, why do these revovation works have to start at the beginning of the high season?
This will keep many holiday makers away from the restaurants.
In the previous months, it was low season (few tourists) and the renovations would have caused less discomfort.
For the whole project, according to Wolfgang Schönner of the Schnitzel Paradise, only 10 million pesos are available.
A decade ago the entrepreneurs already drew up a renovation plan and they came at 40 million pesos in costs.
With the inflation of Peso this would now be approximately 70 million pesos.
According to Wolfgang with these 10 million Pesos only a poor part of the original plan can be accomplished.
Another critical point is that even after these renovations the street still has not turned into a promenade.
Cars and noisy and smelly motors continue to rush through the street in the evenings.
To enjoy your dinner on a nice evening on the sidewalk according to Wolfgang therefore remains an unfulfilled dream.
