Tamarindo Clean Up
Begins
The Municipalidad de
Santa Cruz began rolling
heavy machinery
destroying buildings
built on maritime zone
lands in Playa Tamarindo.
The demolitions had been
coming for some time.
Municipal workers
completely leveled the
Hotel and Cabinas Doris
which, according to
municipal officials, was
99% located on maritime
zone lands.
Jorge Chavarrķa, the
mayor of Santa Cruz,
said the objective is to
recover the "bandera
azul" (blue flag) status
for Tamarindo beach,
which it lost six months
back, when it was found
that waste water by a
number of hotels was
being dumped into the
ocean.
Chavarrķa added that the
municipality is
investing some ¢200
million colones
(us$400.000) in
improving the streets of
Tamarindo, as well as
bettering traffic
conditions.
