What’s New

New Curb at Akumal Entrance

As many of you know, the North side of the Akumal entrance road had little dirt areas that weren’t quite big enough to park a car. Nevertheless, people would attempt to stop or park and succeed in blocking traffic turning it into a one way road. Unsightly big orange barrels and cones even attempted to stop this with little success.

Jaime Medina and Terry Richardson along with Oscar Conte decided to do something about this. They worked with the municipality to get approvals and then donated to get a curb installed. Now traffic seems to flow more easily since there is no longer a question of “will my car fit there.”

Street Lights in Akumal Entrance and Bridge

Everyone knows that things are safer at night when you have light. So Jen worked with many local businesses to get lighting installed along the Akumal entrance for pedestrians and on the bridge to the pueblo. Lights were donated by Turtle Bay, Akumal Direct, La Buena Vida, Coco Propiedades, Loco Gringo, Tom and Judy Baxter, Bob and Sherwood Anders, John and Sharon Winkle, and Terry and Din Richardson. Big thanks to everyone and also to Jen for keeping all the records of the donations so we can publish them. More lights are still needed for free entrance and exits on both sides of the bridge. If you want to donate, contact Jen at Turtle Bay to coordinate.
