The authorities say that binational trade, regional mobility and economic growth will also promote.
“They are up 120 thousand people who cross daily, only for the port of San Ysidro, not counting otay, not counting CBX and everything that comes, then every time we open a new connection is very important, because that means that people can spend more time with their family, taking their family, taking the child to the nursery, because we lose a lot Sandag.
As for the term of the Garita de Otay II, businessmen and authorities indicated that it has been the Mexican federal government that must still advance in this binational project.
“The income and traffic study in Revenue Study has to be updated to this new world so that the bonds can be issued to pay the project,” said Alejandra Mier and Terán, executive director of the Otay Mesa Chamber of Commerce.
And the Ministry of Communications and Transportation is the one who must put its signature.
“All arrangements on the American side are fully signed, now if what we need is for Mexicans to sign the part that had negotiated with the previous administration,” added Alejandra Mier and Terán.
A surprise for the authorities in California, who thought they would have budget conflicts with President Donald Trump.
“The funds we believed as on many occasions have seen that President Trump has unfortunately pull or terminated the funds for other projects, in this case,” said David Alvarez, Assemblyman of California.
While from the Garita de Otay Mesa that operates normally, a community of citizens and carriers have already heard of the inauguration of the always living bridge. Citizens with Christian, who is a taxi driver, expects this to benefit them economically.
“It is for the airport, for San Ysidro, sometimes the angels, but most for the port of San Diego and San Ysidro.”
An area that although with a new bridge, still has no garita and has grown in homes and companies around.
“We have a sugar that is producing sugar, Zucarmex, transport companies, but most are large logistics companies,” concluded Alejandra Mier and Terán.
