The battle for the East Cape Road has ignited fervent local debate. The Los Cabos city council recently gave the green light for tourist developers to replace the traditional dirt road that stretches from San Jose del Cabo to the East Cape with a modernized version. This decision has stirred worries among residents about potential privatization and restricted beach access.
The move has already triggered protests. Last week, the community rallied not once, but twice, expressing their concerns loud and clear. In addition to taking to the streets, residents are actively collecting signatures, hoping to demonstrate widespread opposition to the council’s decision and escalate the issue to the state congress.
Amidst this growing discontent, the state governor has stepped into the fray, siding with the concerned citizens. He has promised to veto the council’s decision, positioning himself as a defender of public access and local tradition. His commitment has given the community a glimmer of hope, but the outcome remains uncertain. As this story unfolds, the community watches and waits, hopeful that their cherished route remains open to all. Stay tuned for updates as this local saga continues to develop.
