Maravilla Street in Jacarandas gets grading work; junk cleanup set for Monday
The Cabo San Lucas delegation responded to the neighborhood committee; the repairs are temporary and OOMSAPAS will review local water lines.
The Cabo San Lucas municipal delegation carried out temporary grading work on Maravilla Street in the Jacarandas neighborhood and scheduled a bulk junk cleanup (descacharrización) in the area for Monday, October 26. Both actions respond to requests from the neighborhood committee, the Los Cabos city government said on Saturday.
The work took place during an inspection tour led by municipal delegate Karina de la O Uribe, together with staff from the Public Services Coordination office. According to the delegation, the goal is to make the street easier to drive on and improve access for the families who live there.
A temporary fix
The delegation stressed that these are preventive, temporary measures. A full overhaul of Maravilla Street will be evaluated based on technical feasibility studies, applicable regulations and the municipal budget.
The delegation also plans to coordinate with OOMSAPAS Los Cabos, the municipal water utility, on a preventive review of the area's water infrastructure. No date was given for that review.
Earlier this week, Jacarandas was already on the list of Cabo San Lucas neighborhoods where the city reported street repairs, along with Mesa Colorada, Los Cangrejos and Caribe, as part of the pothole program that also covers the Transpeninsular Highway.
Why the cleanup matters now
Removing tires, buckets, cans and other items that collect water eliminates breeding sites for the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue. The Jacarandas cleanup comes one day after the Baja California Sur state government announced expanded dengue control efforts in Los Cabos and Comondú with federal support.
After the rainy season and tropical systems such as Simon in mid-October, yards and vacant lots often hold standing water. That makes these cleanups as much about disease prevention as about tidying the neighborhood.
What Jacarandas residents can do
- Put junk out on cleanup day, not before, so it does not pile up on sidewalks or the street.
- Start with anything that holds water: tires, uncovered drums, broken planters and unused containers.
- Route requests through the neighborhood committee. The delegation asked residents to use that channel so requests reach the right office and get followed up.
- Leaks or water outages should be reported directly to OOMSAPAS Los Cabos.
