Following a meeting with the mayors of the Greater Santo Domingo (population 3 million), President Leonel Fernandez said the central government would cover the cost of the reconstruction of the 1.9 km road to the Duquesa garbage dump that serves these municipalities. As reported in Diario Libre, President Fernandez instructed Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua to immediately start the reconstruction of the road.
Meeting with the President were mayors Francis Pena (Santo Domingo West), Juan de los Santos (Santo Domingo East), Francisco Fernandez (Santo Domingo North) and Roberto Salcedo (National District). Also attending were Reinaldo Pared Perez, senator for the National District and Cristina Lizardo, senator for the province of Santo Domingo and Onofre Rojas, executive director of the Commonwealth of the Greater Santo Domingo.
Speaking for the group of mayors, Salcedo said the decision brings tranquility to the mayors of the city that produces about 4,000 tons of waste per day. He said the repair of the road would cost around RD$50 million, with an additional RD$5 million being included to cover the cost of lighting on the stretch to facilitate trucks operating late in the evening.
