Local developments in Mazatlán, Los Mochis, and Ballenita

Various local developments are occurring across Mexico and Ecuador. In Mazatlán, Mexico, municipal authorities reached an agreement with the Stasam union to resume nighttime garbage collection routes following a labor strike caused by equipment and vehicle maintenance issues. Additionally, the city has closed Ángel Flores street to prepare for Independence Day festivities, with expected reopening on September 16.

In Los Mochis, Mexico, the Plaza Fiesta Las Palmas commercial area is beginning to reopen following an extensive investigation into a major fire that occurred in May. Meanwhile, a boutique within a local shopping center was temporarily closed after a ceiling section collapsed; no injuries were reported, and Civil Protection is inspecting the site.

In Ballenita, Santa Elena, Ecuador, residents are expressing concern over the suspension of storm drain construction. The project, intended to prevent flooding, has been halted since September 7, reportedly due to pending payments from the local municipality to the contractor, leaving open trenches in the town center.
