Los Cabos authorities completed the full paving of Calle Ejido La Ribera in the Ejidal I neighborhood of San José del Cabo, using a 36 million peso (approximately $1.8 million USD) federal investment. Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez officially delivered the finished street, which was built with hydraulic concrete to modernize a road that residents had long flagged as a problem for traffic and pedestrian mobility.
The project was funded through FAIS 2025, the federal Social Infrastructure Fund (Fondo de Aportaciones para la Infraestructura Social). FAIS money is earmarked specifically for improving conditions in underserved communities across Mexico, targeting basic infrastructure like water, drainage, and road access.
Years of Resident Complaints Addressed
According to Agúndez Gómez, residents of the Ejidal I neighborhood had requested road improvements for years. The unpaved condition of Calle Ejido La Ribera created difficult driving conditions and limited safe pedestrian access. The new hydraulic concrete surface is designed to be more durable and weather-resistant than traditional asphalt, a common choice for municipal paving projects in Los Cabos.
Ejidal I sits in the urban core of San José del Cabo, away from the tourist corridor. The neighborhood is home to working families and long-term residents who rely on local roads for daily commutes and access to schools and services.
Part of a Broader Road Investment Push
The completed street fits within a larger wave of road spending in Los Cabos. Earlier in 2025, the municipal government approved 234 million pesos (about $12 million USD) for 19 paving projects across San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, combining federal, state, and municipal funds. Several of those projects also use hydraulic concrete in high-traffic neighborhoods.
The municipality noted that parallel efforts are also underway to improve waste collection services in the area, including new vehicles and operational changes to pickup routes. No specific budget figure was provided for the waste collection upgrades.
At current exchange rates, the 36 million peso investment translates to roughly $1.8 million USD. The project’s completion adds to a growing list of infrastructure deliveries in residential neighborhoods that have historically received less attention than the hotel zone and tourist corridor.
