Just a few months ago road conditions were said to have been a contributing factor in the death of Nuri Arrieta from Nosara, a local woman killed during a traffic accident.

“Our Municipality continues with the progress and development of our canton and strengthening the access roads of such an important district. It is good to clarify that we are in the preparation of a regulation to receive those streets that were never delivered to the Municipality, for that reason, it is that you can not invest funds of Law 8114, since in this district only approximately 30% of the streets have been delivered and the most important route is National Route. For this reason in 2016 we saw ourselves in the obligation to demand from the MOPT the prompt intervention of this (main) route, thus achieving in several meetings an investment of great importance for Nosara. We make it clear that this situation of street delivery occurs in several sectors of the canton. We continue working with and for the inhabitants”, explained the Financial Director of the Municipality of Nicoya, José Ernesto Baltodano.
