During a recent municipal council meeting, the majority of members approved a petition by the Commission for Urbanization, Ecology and Public Works and a group of distinguished Mazatlecans to change the name of Avenida Pacífico to “José Luis Peche Garcia” to preserve the memory and honor an exemplary businessman, proponent of noble causes and preserver of the history of Mazatlán through photographs.

Avenida Pacífico has become an important access road to the port connecting the entrance to south Mazatlán with the Marina zone.

At the same time, the council again approved unanimously a petition from Canaco and Canirac to extend the hours for businesses selling alcoholic beverages in the Zona Dorada and Olas Altas during the months of April, May and June this year.

Restaurants will see their hours for selling alcohol extended from 11pm to 2am, nightclubs from 2am to 4am, and bars from 11pm to 2am during those three months.
