Toll In The North And Procedures In 6 Days, First Letter of Garzon


What is today less Bogotá Mayor Luis Eduardo Garzon, is time. For that reason, said yesterday that "at this stage" of his term, when remaining 11 months and 28 days of his four years in office, not time for Advertisements, but to say what was being done. That philosophy seems to apply it began to seek an end to chaos in mobility, today suffer from Bogota (on average spend 53 minutes each way, 5 minutes longer than two years ago, a study of the project "Bogotá, How Come ').

Initially Garzon bet on four points: the toll on the Northern Highway, permanent pedestrianization of a section of the center, a deal with unions to regulate the use of private car and motorcycle, and a more agile in some formalities.

Each of these issues is expected to make them walk in a short time. For example, the permanent pedestrianization of streets 11 and 10, between Carreras 3a. and Tenth, start today. The other three objectives are specified in days or weeks (see boxes).

What is at stake Garzon is clear that the issue of mobility is one of the weaknesses of the administration (along with that of public housing) and that the more you delay the move to Bogota in your workplace or return home or remain traffic chaos daily bread , the main impact will his image and his team.

That is why the measures begin to take the Mayor, And which is expected to take on issues like reviving the old bus chatarrización, besides aiming to Improve the quality of life of Bogota, has another element of substance.

The issue of mobility define the political future of presidential Luis Eduardo Garzon, who begins to become stronger with the achievements in the social field and in managing the district's finances.

Garzon said his administration showed that it can advance to "social policy without jeopardizing fiscal policy. But this list is missing add to it the end of traffic chaos.

For this, the Mayor has not only surrounded by the most trusted people, like Patricia González in the Department of Mobility, or Liliana Pardo, in the Urban Development Institute (IDU).

It has also Intensified to search for strategic partners: the Government on the issue of resources for Phase III of TransMilenio, the Ministry of Transport to toll the Autonorte and unions to self-regulate the use of cars and motorcycles.

It is perhaps the only way to prove in the short time left to wallow in the mobility, the product of administrative reform is not just the 'change of dress' or warning.

However, for academics consulted by TIME, these plans fall short of the magnitude of the problem (see 'These measures are not enough').

Local News!


A new conflict is appearing in Bogota. This time are not the paramilitary groups, are not economic problems, and are not the poor people or problem with the government. Now the problem is the girls in some places at Bogotá. Now people is afraid of some girls between 13 and 20 years that are concentrated in groups that work for the violence of Bogota.
The problem is that many girls that grew with family or economic problems are using their bad attitude to life against other people and the community. These girls are creating groups that their main objective is to make their own justice thinking in their lifes when they were kids and all that economic problems, indifference and hate that they obtain from their family. Therefore, the way the work is stilling houses or people at streets and in many cases they torture people or kill everyone that is on their way. People in those places of Bogota are scared of this and all of us thinking about it and how it can be resolve. So about this we can thing, is police at all time thinking about this kind of problems or they know about this?, do they really care of this situation and have some methods to control it? Is there any possible solution that can finish with this? The solution for this is obviously different to the solution to many other problems at Bogota because now is a personal conflict. Those girls have personal reasons for their actions and in that kind of places are many of these girls creating these criminal groups so, every day this problem is increasing and it seems that no one makes something.
As a conclusion, This is a different problem that must be controlled quickly because every day it grows more and more and it will be more difficult to resolve it if it increases. So, is time to think in a solution because this little “princess” are creating terror in our community.

Destinations in BoGoTa


Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia's capital, is located in the middle of the country, high above in the Andes mountains (8600 ft -2600 m). With 6 million inhabitants, Bogota is the country's largest city.

Among other things, Bogota's people, architecture, museums, shopping, restaurants and night life makes it an exciting city full of history and culture.
In the heart of the city, Plaza de Bolivar is the city's main square. The 16th century Cathedral dominates the plaza. A few blocks away, the La Candelaria quarter with its colonial architecture and diverse theaters, cafes and Bogota's main library (the Luis Angel Arango), create a unique bohemian atmosphere.
The Museo del Oro (Gold Museum) home to the world's most important collection of pre-Columbian goldwork is well worth a visit. Other important museums are the National Museum, the Modern Art Museum, the Religious Art Museum, Quinta de Bolivar (Bolivar's home in Bogota) and Maloka, a modern interactive science museum. Galleries are also plentiful.
Many churches in Bogota date from colonial times and are very well preserved. Important churches in Bogota include Santa Clara, San Francisco, San Ignacio, and the sanctuary of Monserrate.
The traditional Teatro Colon is reknown for its concerts and architecture. Other performing arts venues are the Teatro Colsubsidio, Teatro Nacional, La Candelaria and Teatro Libre.
In Bogota sports can be enjoyed in stadiums or at almost every park, where locals meet to play. Football is the national sport and passionately followed by millions. Many other sports can also be practiced around the city. Sunday is definitely a day to go out and experience the ciclovia, where the main streets are closed to traffic and filled with people jogging, skating, riding bycicles, doing aerobics, or just strolling around meeting friends and enjoying the morning. Bicycle paths can also be found around the city.
The Botanical Garden preserves and displays the incredible variety of flora found in Colombia, its gardens providing also a nice change of pace and scenery right in the middle of the city. There are many parks around the city, like the Parque Nacional and the Parque de la 93, surrounded by restaurants, bars and cafes, now a trendy point in the city.
Shopping can be done in the traditional markets, where handicrafts and typical wares can be found; the flea markets downtown or in Usaquen are also interesting places to go shopping for bargains, while shopping centers like Unicentro, Santafe, Hacienda Santa Barbara, Andino, Granahorrar, Bulevar Niza and Andes Plaza are filled with hundreds of stores with the latest trends.

Restaurants, cafes and bars are plentiful, and can be found around the city. Typical and international food can be found in excellent restaurants, as well as fast food places and cafeterias. Dancing and partying is part of the colombian culture, and Bogota is no exception. Night life is vibrant, with many clubs and discos found scattered around the city and also grouped together in the Zona Rosa, Parque de la 93 and La Calera.
Around the city short trips can be made to Chia, Cajica, Guatavita, Zipaquira and Villa de Leyva.
