We decided to explore a different area of our new neighborhood today. We would go to the train station (2 blocks down from the house-that-is-not-ours-yet) and go left.
This is the corner of Primavera, the first street perpendicular to ours, looking north toward the train tracks. In this intersection there is a different size paving stone with a different design, one associated with the stone work in front of the train station. And it looks like they're going to re-pave at least some of Primavera, which was closed to traffic.
Another angle, looking south on Invierno. Note that cars will not be able to park on the sidewalk "bubbles." The workers have erected curb-side posts:
The office of Kansas City Southern de Mexico, next to the old train station:
Past the train station, this building and sign: We are jubilados, but we don't know what they want us to pay attention to, unless it's the domino club announcement:
Then this detour into a huge construction site:
At the far end of the construction site are the beginnings of two fountains, we were told: one (circular) in the foreground and one (looks like an amphitheater) in the background:
Looking back toward the train station, more construction, including two fairly large sports complexes, which are behind the trees on the right:
El sr J was coveting the equipment and materiel, especially the stones, which would cost a small fortune in the US:
We saw a sign saying 4 million pesos had been dedicated to the improvements to just a couple of blocks on Invierno. It's hard to imagine how much all the other nearby improvements are costing the city. We'll keep providing Sunday progress reports.
