911 has finally arrived in Puerto Vallarta as a universal emergency phone number – and the operators speak English! But to get truly rapid response throughout greater Vallarta, it’s necessary to upgrade the radio transmissions of our emergency responders: police and bomberos. Local businesses attempted to raise $10,000 USD through private donations. But contributions stalled […]
Some generous ANA members in Paramount Bay have pledged about $3,000 USD = $60,000 pesos to fund Phase One of ANA’s Highway Sidewalk Project. As reported earlier, ANA commissioned an architectural plan for improving the partially paved path that runs along the west side of Highway 200. Our goal is a continuous hard-surface, all-weather sidewalk […]
Before Christmas, we improved safety, traction and the ride up Calle Hortensias from Highway 200 by installing new, meter-wide concrete tracks. Our thanks to our generous members on Hortensias and Gardenias who contributed north of $200,000 pesos to help ANA make it happen! Soon after Easter/Semana Santa – when many of our snowbirds will have […]
Lately, we’ve all been noticing uncollected trash piling up around town – not to mention on our streets and driveways – and thinking, ‘Here we go again!’ But this may actually be a sign of better things to come. A number of City administrations have wrestled with a long-term contract signed by a former mayor, […]
We’ve got a little more work to do, but we’ll finish up this week. No road work today, in honor of Sta. Maria de Guadalupe, but Tuesday our Obras Publica-supplied road crew will be busy clearing and removing the last of the debris, and Wednesday we’ll pour that last little section down at the highway. […]
ANA’s membership and neighborhood responsibilities have expanded…and so have we. We’ve outgrown the office (and storage) space provided by Ron Morgan Properties for the past two years – thank you, Ron! Also, ANA’s many neighborhood improvement projects require more coordination (and begging) at City Hall and outside meetings. So our able Administrator, Viviana Teston, is […]
In order to complete the new cement tracks before Christmas, Hortensias will be CLOSED between Villas Loma Linda and Highway 200, from now through next Tuesday, December 13. Please use ‘the back way’ along Hortensias to Pulpito. Yesterday, to speed things along, we rented TWO backhoes – one to cut the second track, the other […]
Para terminar con las nuevas huellas de cemento antes de Navidad, la calle Hortensias tendrá que permanecer CERRADA entre Loma Linda y la carretera 200, hasta el día Martes 13 de Diciembre. Por favor use la vía alterna por la calle Púlpito. Ayer, aceleramos las cosas al rentar 2 retroexcavadoras, -una que rompa y abra […]
Calle Hortensias was a mess. Sometimes described as ‘a collection of potholes held together by a bunch of cobblestones,’ the steep and narrow street leading up from Highway 200 was a rough ride, even on the best of days. The big gas and water trucks that regularly trundled up the hill just made things worse, […]
Following “the Low Season That Wasn’t” (national and international tourism was up, business was good, parking was bad), the coming High Season will be jumpin’ with even more people, events and activities. Check out our November ANA Calendar, and save these dates! Thursday, November 10, ANA ‘Office Party’ at Fusion Bar/Restaurant. Let’s all get together, […]
