Mazatlán’s municipal government recently signed a collaboration agreement with the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) to continue updating and revamping the Centro Historico.
Among projects presented to businessmen and public officials were prohibiting cars in the historic section, widening sidewalks, increasing green areas, continuing repaving streets with interlocking blocks and installing underground cables.
Israel Victoria Lona, director of the municipal institute of planning, put forward the plan to eradicate vehicles from Centro Historico streets. This would, he said, allow for the widening of sidewalks and liberate streets to become pedestrian walkways.
Sinaloa INAH representative, Francisco Ríos Avendaño, announced it has been arranged that property taxes for owners in Centro Historico would be deductible from taxes if they use those funds to improve their area.
