The wall of the new sports field has been painted:
This is going to be a huge peatonal (pedestrian walkway), from the looks of things. There are patterned cobblestones and fountains. I'm hoping a new public gym will be built on the left, but who knows.
This is Cuauhtémoc, the street behind Invierno. See the two big pink planters with an incomplete bench in between?

Don't know what these yellow flowers are. Behind them is Russian sage. I wish the city offered tours with plant IDs:

I love these fountains:
