The hoteliers yearn for the Coral highway.

SANTO DOMINGO.- President Leonel Fernandez sent a bill to the Senate aimed at replacing Law 175-03 that authorizes the Executive Branch to contract 255 million dollars in Dominican sovereign bonds for infrastructure in international money markets, to build the Coral freeway (east).

In the draft the Head of State tells the senators the unfavorable conditions prevalent in 2003 prevented carrying out the offer of bonds or infrastructure notes in international markets, which adversely affected the work.

He states that the Government considers the project of national interest and seeks other alternatives to make it financially viable and allow its conclusion.

The project includes the construction of the spans La Romana-Higuey and Higüey-Verón, whose bidding was won by the Moya construction group.

More, and more this President reminds me of the despots of our distant pasts. The manipulation of laws, the single-handedness of "his " projects; It's as is he see himself as a national savior.
Benefactor part 2. Or, Mini-Trujillo, or Lilis, encore.

My Paternal Grand-father was a net-fisherman from Higuey, and he would fish in Cabeza de Toro, an at El Cortecito. That was a lifetime ago, it seems. Back then, those places were virgin territories with pristine beaches. Now those areas are overdeveloped, and now need a Coral Highway; Someday they'll possibly make the beaches inaccessible to the natives. No dollars, no eruros, no pases!

I agree with most that Government must do alot more to create public beaches in Punta Cana/bavaro. You can visit most other tourist areas around the country, and the Number 1 Tourist areas of Bavaro, and Punta Cana contain almost no public access whatsoever to the Beach. This will slowly become a major development hurdle, as Bavaro is slowly become a destination for non resort tourists, and 2nd home/condo ownership. But, these new owners have almost no access to a beach, as the All Inclusive Resorts, and a few condo developments have virutally blocked access to the beach. In other tourist areas such as Puerto Plata, Boca Chica, Juan Dolio you have wide open access to the beach, and these areas will grow because of it. However, with that being said, it is vital to development in this region that the Highway be completed. Plus, the best beaches are up towards Uvero Alto, and we must have a new highway to get to them, and for that area to be developed.
