In what perhaps could be the "last" presidential act for Oscar Arias, he got his name on the plaque to inaugurate the re-opening of the MAG-Universal road yesterday. For those who are not familiar with the MAG-Universal, the road runs along on the south side of the Sabana park, in front of the Contraloria and Mac's American bar. The road is a main artery from San José to the Sabana, Escazú and Santa Ana to the west. |
