Mayor Felton toured the aging market with an INAH representative and architect in charge of the remodel.
Yesterday, Mayor Carlos Felton toured the building accompanied by Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) representative Francisco Ríos Avendaño, Secretary of Tourism Francisco Córdova Celaya, representatives of the stall holders union and the architect in charge of the project, Édgar Urban Martínez.
Recently, federal deputy Martín Heredia Lizárraga advised that 80 million pesos has been obtained to invest in the market. However, an executive project plan must first be developed with the expectation the work will begin in February.
INAH representative Ríos Avendaño told reporters not only were the repairs necessary, but they must be done in an orderly manner while maintaining security for stall holders.
A large portion of the sidewalks surrounding the market are invaded by stalls and considering the pedestrian volume, they are going to remove them, said Ríos Avendaño. In the interior is a mixture of colours and smells which must be put into order, he added.
Urban Martínez, a civil engineer with the Instituto Politécnico Nacional commented that the geotechnical study will require excavations using light machinery and rotating temporary closures of certain sections of the market.
With respect to infrastructure, Martínez said the electricity grid in the market is a threat and needs to be a priority, as well as other red light areas such as the condition of gas tanks.
