On January 9th, in Panama, tents, waste, and improvised structures were removed from the Pedestrian Walkway of Central Avenue to ensure the free flow of pedestrians. Staff from the Panama Municipality's Community Services Directorate, with the support of the Panama Fire Department, carried out a deep cleaning and washing from May 5th Square to Santa Ana Park. The operation, which covered the 850 meters of the Pedestrian Walkway, also included the organization of 17th Street, from the Savings Bank to the Presidente Remón Polyclinic, an area frequented by informal vendors, the Municipality stated. This old thoroughfare, which crosses the Santa Ana district, is bustling with hundreds of people due to its commercial activity, architecture, and social life, and is therefore planned for improvements to boost its appeal as part of the city's Historic Center.
