Mexico City’s SSC Lists 12 Marches and Rallies for Wednesday, Nov. 11
Mexico City's SSC lists four marches and eight rallies in five alcaldías on Nov. 11, from Paseo de la Reforma to Tlalpan, plus Hoy No Circula limits.
Mexico City’s public security ministry (SSC) has listed 12 marches and rallies in five alcaldías (boroughs) for Wednesday, Nov. 11, according to reports by Eje Central and El Gráfico. The first starts at 6:30 a.m. and the last march is scheduled for 6 p.m., so slow traffic and temporary interruptions are possible around Paseo de la Reforma, the Centro Histórico and Calzada de Tlalpan.
Four of the events are marches with announced start and end points. The other eight are rallies (concentraciones) held at a single spot. El Gráfico notes that not every event involves a road closure, and that the streets it names are possible trouble spots, not confirmed blockades.
The four marches
- 7:30 a.m.: from Paseo de la Reforma 164, colonia Juárez, to Plaza de la Constitución (the Zócalo), in front of Palacio Nacional.
- 11:00 a.m.: from Plaza de la República at the Monumento a la Revolución, colonia Tabacalera, to Liverpool 3, colonia Juárez.
- 11:00 a.m.: from Calzada del Hueso 1100, colonia Villa Quietud in Coyoacán, to Prolongación Canal de Miramontes 3855, colonia Ex Hacienda San Juan de Dios in Tlalpan.
- 6 p.m. (18:00): from Doctor Mora and Cristóbal Colón, colonia Centro, to República de Cuba 34 in the Centro Histórico.
El Gráfico points out that the listings give only departure points and destinations. The authorities did not detail every street the groups will use.
Eight rallies, half of them in Cuauhtémoc
Cuauhtémoc has the most activity of any alcaldía: three of the four marches plus four rallies. The rallies there are at Avenida San Antonio Abad in colonia Vista Alegre at 6:30 a.m., and at 10:00 a.m. at Plaza de la Constitución 1, Avenida José María Pino Suárez 2 and Bucareli 48.
The remaining four rallies are spread across other boroughs:
- Benito Juárez: 7:00 a.m. on Calzada de Tlalpan, colonia Portales Norte.
- Coyoacán: 8:00 a.m. at Calzada de Tlalpan 2169, colonia Atlántida.
- Iztapalapa: 11:00 a.m. at Avenida Reforma 50, colonia San Lorenzo Tezonco.
- Azcapotzalco: 11:00 a.m. at the corner of Calzada Camarones and Avenida Cuitláhuac, colonia Clavería.
El Gráfico adds that the Coyoacán borough also hosts the 11:00 a.m. march toward Tlalpan, and that Calzada de Tlalpan is affected by both the Benito Juárez and Coyoacán events.
What it means for drivers and commuters
The same day, the ordinary Hoy No Circula driving restrictions apply to cars with a red sticker, plates ending in 3 and 4, and holograms 1 and 2. The restriction runs from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (22:00) in the areas where the program operates, according to El Gráfico. Vehicles with holograms 0 and 00 are exempt from the ordinary program unless extraordinary measures are announced.
The outlet says marches could also lead to temporary changes in some public transport routes. Schedules, routes and meeting points can change during the day. The SSC’s Centro de Orientación Vial (road guidance center) publishes traffic reports on closures and incidents.
