📢 COMMUNITY ROAD REPORT: What Are the Real Exits out of La Guácima?

✍️ Research and Data Collection: Cira Arroyo Fuentes
📅 Publication Date: July 1, 2026
⏰ Issue Time: 4:10 PM

Objective: To inform the community of La Guácima, based on technical and institutional sources, about the only feasible alternative routes that will actually provide real traffic relief to highways and neighboring towns in the short term.

🚨 THE DIAGNOSIS: REAL SOLUTIONS VS. LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS
As local authorities visit our district, it is vital for residents and property owners to demand high-impact regional projects rather than just minor internal fixes. Not all proposed streets solve the traffic chaos comprehensively. Urgent solutions must meet three strict requirements: actively unclog traffic, connect directly to major highways, and bypass lengthy court-ordered expropriation lawsuits.

🟢 THE ONLY TWO FEASIBLE SHORT-TERM SOLUTIONS (Outlets to Highways & External Towns)

1. El Sobasto Route (Connector Southbound / Route 27 / Escazú / San José)

• What it does: Massively evacuates traffic flow by connecting the community of Nuestro Amo directly to Route 27.
• Why it is viable now: It has a historic advantage: all property owners have already signed the voluntary donation of their lands. Because it requires zero legal expropriation processes, the project moves forward completely free of legal hurdles.
• Technical status: The Municipality of Alajuela has already allocated a budget of ₡1.6 billion colones and completed the official topographic and soil studies. The final pending step is the environmental viability permit and the construction of the new two-lane bridge over the Río Segundo.

Rincón Herrera - El Roble Bridge (Connector Northbound / San Antonio / Alajuela / Route 1)

• What it does: Allows drivers to divert traffic toward the San Antonio de Alajuela sector and connect with the General Cañas Highway (Route 1), completely avoiding gridlock in downtown La Guácima.
• Why it is viable now: The project runs entirely on the already established public right-of-way, requiring zero property expropriations.
• Technical status: This is a direct municipal investment of ₡520 million colones intended strictly for the construction phase. The current narrow crossing will be replaced by a modern structure featuring two vehicular lanes and safe pedestrian sidewalks over the Río Ciruelas Cañas.

❌ ROUTES EXCLUDED FROM THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTION (Delayed or Ineffective)

• Calle La Gloria (Toward Route 27): Although geographically an excellent road design, it is completely stalled for the short term because it requires forced expropriation declarations—a legal process that takes years in state courts.
• Calle El Limonal / Calle Matilde: These are small internal connections measuring barely 100 to 400 meters in length. They do not lead to external towns or highways. Technical records define them strictly as "neighborhood relief roads." Prioritizing investment in them would only move the line of cars from one neighborhood to another, keeping drivers trapped inside La Guácima.

📚 OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL SOURCES AND FILES REVIEWED:

To guarantee that this information is 100% accurate, any resident or property owner can check the following file numbers at the Municipality of Alajuela:

• Technical Document No. MA-PPCI-0854-2025: Geometric layout and viability of El Sobasto and internal connectors.
• Ordinary Municipal Act No. 51-2025 (December 22): Declaration of Cantonal Public Interest for the El Sobasto connector.
• Ordinary Municipal Act No. 23-2026 (June 9): Follow-up on the Strategic Route Plan for the District of La Guácima (Document MA-A-1668-2026).
• Local Government Budgets: Civil Work Bidding for the Rincón Herrera Bridge.
