Governorship orders removal of platform installed on the Simón Bolívar Malecón Avenue
The Guayas Governorship has ordered the immediate removal of a platform on Simón Bolívar Malecón Avenue in Guayaquil due to safety concerns for emergency response.
The Guayas Governorship has mandated the immediate removal of a platform installed on Simón Bolívar Malecón Avenue in Guayaquil. This platform, situated at the intersection with 10 de Agosto Street, poses a significant obstruction for vehicular and pedestrian movement at a critical location for emergency evacuation and response. The Governorship's decision underscores the importance of maintaining clear pathways for emergency services, particularly in the context of potential emergencies where quick access is essential.
Authorities highlighted that any installations that interfere with mobility and the operational duties of response teams are deemed 'incompatible' with emergency scenarios, implying a zero-tolerance policy toward obstacles that could impede life-saving actions. In conveying this message, the Guayas Governor, Jos, emphasized the need for responsible decision-making in situations that could lead to crowding or hinder the effectiveness of emergency teams.
In line with this directive, the Intendencia de Policía del Guayas is expected to take swift action to ensure compliance with the removal order, enforcing the law to protect public safety. The emphasis on not allowing structures that could obstruct emergency operations reflects a commitment to prioritizing lives and ensuring that emergency services can operate unhindered in all circumstances.
