Overview

  • Asipona has allocated over 170 million pesos for technical studies covering rail viability and capacity comparisons between El Sauzal and Punta Colonet
  • Baja California winemakers and hoteliers insist on an interinstitutional master plan to align port growth with regional mobility and urban order
  • Groups warn that the proposed Sauzal–Tecate freight rail lacks a defined route, impact analysis and assessments for tourism and rural zones
  • Stakeholders urge a temporary halt to irreversible expansion actions until public investment frameworks for roads, infrastructure and zoning are presented
  • Local leaders proposed a per-container fee to fund community infrastructure upgrades and address chronic truck congestion and safety concerns
