La Sirena in Puerto Plata

[planner]

I went by yesterday and saw the site as well. I will try to go by today and get some photos as well. Not sure if I have time though. Lots of trucks and starting to make lots of mess. The trucks were lining up on the Malecon - I hope they don't destroy that nice new road!

I just drove by today (March 5th, 2008 around 14:00):

There is more going on than what may appear on the pictures...













For earth googelers: The site in question is at:

19°47'43.87"N, 70°41'5.22"W

Just copy the whole above line and paste it into your "Fly to"-window and click "go".

another update:
this place is no longer green spot - all the vegetation has been cut and removed, now you can see this is a huge lot. only house remains and few almendra trees next to the malecon...
they ARE working fast!

I think this will be an interesting project to observe, so if it interests anybody else too, I'll just keep on posting pictures.

There is a LOT of loose dirt (called "tierra madre" here) on this lot... also a considerable difference in levels. They are digging it away. There are trucks leaving in 3 minute intervals, filled with dirt.

Both Eastbound views.

Yes, please do, but if you could reduce the pic size so that it doesn't stretch out the whole thread, it would be a lot easier to view.
