The photo is an example of the result of the often “disorganization” between institutions, where officials of the ministry of Transport and state institution ICE and CNFL (light and power) and the municipality cannot co-ordinate their efforts in a project.
The photo was taken in Lindora, Santa Ana and posted on the Casa Presidencial Facebook page promoting the “expansion” of the road that is daily congested due to, you guessed, bad planning.
This post is part of the sidewalk. Across the street, there is a post that is part of the street, another common occurrence on Costa Rica’s roads.
All three should be embarrassed !
Before reading the narrative, my first thought at seeing the photo was “What’s wrong with that? The post isn’t in the road.” Maybe I’ve lived here too long.
