Mayor Norma Bustamante spearheaded a major community intervention this Saturday, leading city agencies in the “Joining Efforts for Your Neighborhood” operation. The initiative, centered in the public park in Parajes del Oriente, aims to tackle the area’s most pressing needs through direct, coordinated action.
“This operation is about closeness and teamwork. It puts the community at the very heart of government decision-making,” she said.
The multiagency effort mobilized resources across the Mexicali government. Residents will see immediate improvements, including pothole repairs, graffiti removal, deep cleaning of public spaces, installation of new road signs, cleanup of vacant lots, and repairs to street lighting.
The mayor also acknowledged key legislative support driving Parejas del Oriente’s transformation, thanking Federal Congresswoman Laura Ruiz and Local Congresswoman Michelle Tejeda for their advocacy.

The day further featured informational sessions from several public bodies, including the Federal Institute of Public Defense, Revenue Collection, Citizen Services, the Fire Department, and the Municipal Public Security Directorate.
