Given the persistent presence of potholes in the streets of the citadel, the residents have decided to undertake the task of covering and fixing the holes that represent a danger to drivers and pedestrians. The decision of the inhabitants of Cemento Chimborazo arises in response to the absence of actions by the Municipality of Riobamba to solve this problem. According to testimonies from some residents, the lack of commitment on the part of local authorities has been evident, leaving the community in a situation of road abandonment.
“We could no longer continue waiting for the Municipality to take action on the matter.

Faced with this situation, the residents of Cemento Chimborazo call on the municipal authorities to take immediate and effective actions to solve the problem of potholes in the sector. Meanwhile, they continue their efforts to keep the streets in acceptable conditions for vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
