The Ministry of Public Works says it is implementing a program to put up signs on highways and main roads in the Dominican Republic. As of today, signs have been scarce and far apart. Travelers have had to ask and ask strangers to avoid getting lost on the way. The Direccion General de Transito Terrestre is in charge of the program, as reported in El Siglo. The Ministry at the same time is replacing cat eyes that have been removed.
Cat eyes are the road reflectors which help drivers see the road at night or in heavy rainstorms.
Tender prepared for Playa Grande development Vice Governor of the Central Bank Luis Manuel Piantini said that the Central Bank is preparing a tender to sell the Playa Grande tourism development in the area of Rio San Juan, Maria Trinidad Sanchez province on the North Coast. Golfers praise this golf course as one of the best in the DR and the Caribbean. Piantini says that President Mejia favors the Central Bank divesting itself of property it has acquired under special circumstances that does not correspond to the essence of its operation. Other tourism potential development properties are the Montellano sugar fields and the Playa Dorada golf course and other facilities, in Puerto Plata. The Central Bank also owns the Rosario gold mine that is up for a tender in July.
