In order to enhance road safety and promote sustainable mobility for Tijuana’s cyclists, a full rehabilitation of the bike lane signage, which included fresh paint and new traffic markers, along Federico Benítez Boulevard in the La Mesa district was completed.
The project was led by Mayor Abdiel Gutiérrez Coronado and carried out by the Secretariat of Sustainable Urban Mobility, Inspection and Road Safety (Semovis).
The work included maintenance and repainting of the lane’s signage, marking the first such intervention since the bike lane was originally activated. The effort seeks to restore the visibility of the elements that define and protect this designated space for cyclists.
Safe, Visible, and Functional Infrastructure
Mayor Abdiel Gutierrez emphasized that a forward-looking city must offer safe, visible, and functional infrastructure for all modes of transportation.
In that spirit, he reaffirmed City Hall’s commitment to improving the public spaces that Tijuana families rely on every day.
The mayor also stressed that his administration is actively working to make the city safer for everyone’s daily mobility.
