Every great city needs modern means of communication and mobility options for residents. However, when designing these projects is very important to foresee the consequences that may bring, to avoid resorting to mere occurrence of any official who "believe" that this or that certain issues be resolved: it is essential to have serious studies and scientists who approve or discard the conduct of public policy.
In the case of West Supervía project, which aims to build roads to connect Santa Fe with St. Jerome, there is not a cost - benefit to demonstrate its necessity. By contrast, over seems an occurrence over the authorities of the Federal District Government.
First, the project will seriously damage the environment, especially in the area of \u200b\u200bTarango, a strategic in the city on environmental issues because that's where the winds go from west to east and used as a large fan to oxygenate both the city and the metropolitan area. The Supervía happen out there and produce construction real estate developments in the area, providing an aggressive urban sprawl and the environment.
On the other hand, seeks Supervía built with private investment, which was awarded to a particular company a work that will cost, according to estimates by the Federal District, about 6.000 million pesos, astronomical and totally disproportionate for a road of less than 6 miles. This means every kilometer of the superhighway will cost more than 1.000 million pesos to give us an idea, one kilometer from the highway Durango - Mazatlan, a large infrastructure project that will cross the Sierra Madre Occidental, cost around 77 million pesos.
The high cost of this work will result in an expensive toll, which will in turn Supervía that is only accessible to a small percentage of the capital. Has already begun the expropriation of numerous properties, without being clear in the public interest to justify it.
So far, no single specialist has ruled in favor of supervision. On the contrary, has been disqualified by the National Ecology Institute, an urban planning expert at UNAM and IPN, by researchers at the Institute of Biology, UNAM, as well as many neighborhood groups, both of Alvaro Obregon in Magdalena Contreras. It is truly unfortunate that despite this the Head of Government determined to continue building a road that has no proven benefit and we do bring, however, serious financial, environmental and legal.
