The Secretary of Mobility of Cali, William Vallejo, stressed that the majority of road users showed good behavior and these high-deployment operations will continue during the week.
According to the official, “the operations have left a positive result and work is being done on all aspects such as control of the public space. This is a situation that has been normalizing, the attendance of people in the Parque del Dog”.
He noted that the road to Cristo Rey was reached, where there were disturbances by motorcyclists and we continue working on parking control in this area.
The controls are accompanied by the Police and the Ministry of Security and Justice.

For Vallejo, little by little the issue of parking has been put in order in sectors such as Ciudad Jardín and the Parque del Perro in San Fernando.
“We also held a work table with the residents and community of San Antonio, to whom we explained the importance of not parking on the platforms, so that people can use them correctly,” Vallejo said.
The controls are extended to motorcyclists so that they do not invade the bicycle lane or the massive MIO system and avoid dangerous manoeuvres.
Vallejo said that there is progress in good practices and respect for the rules and the Traffic Code.
Some agents of the District Mobility Secretariat have been subjected to mistreatment, but they remain in their task to recover the good use of the roads.

The House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection subpoenaed more than a dozen individuals Friday who it says falsely tried to declare Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 election in seven swing states.
The panel is demanding information and testimony from 14 people who it says allegedly met and submitted false Electoral College certificates declaring Trump the winner of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to a letter from Mississippi Representative Bennie Thompson, the committee’s Democratic chairman. President Joe Biden won all seven states.
“We believe the individuals we have subpoenaed today have information about how these so-called alternate electors met and who was behind that scheme,” Thompson said in the letter. “We encourage them to cooperate with the Select Committee’s investigation to get answers about January 6th for the American people and help ensure nothing like that day ever happens again.”
The nine-member panel said it has obtained information that groups of individuals met on December 14, 2020 — more than a month after Election Day — in the seven states. The individuals, according to the congressional investigation, then submitted fake slates of Electoral College votes for Trump. Then “alternate electors” from those seven states sent those certificates to Congress, where several of Trump’s advisers used them to justify delaying or blocking the certification of the election during the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.
Lies about election fraud from the former president and his allies fueled the deadly insurrection on the Capitol building that day, as a violent mob interrupted the certification of the Electoral College results.
FILE – An “alternate” slate of electors nominated by the Republican Party of Georgia cast their own electoral votes for President Donald Trump at the Georgia State Capitol, Dec. 14, 2020, at the same time the official Democratic electors were casting their votes for Joe Biden in another part of the Capitol.
Group obtained certificates
Last March, American Oversight, a watchdog group, obtained the certificates in question that were submitted by Republicans in the seven states. In two of them, New Mexico and Pennsylvania, the fake electors added a caveat saying the certificate was submitted in case they were later recognized as duly elected, qualified electors. That would have been possible only if Trump had won any of the several dozens of legal battles he waged against those states in the weeks after the election.
In the other five states, however, Republicans certified that they were their state’s duly elected and qualified electors.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a CNN interview this week that the Justice Department has received referrals from lawmakers regarding the fake certifications, and that prosecutors were now “looking at those.”
An Associated Press review of every potential case of voter fraud in six of the battleground states disputed by Trump has found fewer than 475 — a number that would have made no difference in the 2020 presidential election.
Biden won Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and their 79 Electoral College votes by a combined 311,257 votes out of 25.5 million ballots cast for president. The disputed ballots represent just 0.15% of his victory margin in those states.
The fake electors are the latest to be subpoenaed in the large-scale investigation the committee has been pursuing since it came together last summer. The congressional probe has scrutinized Trump family members and allies, members of Congress and even social media groups accused of perpetuating election misinformation and allowing it to spread rampantly.
The committee plans to move into a more public-facing phase of its work in the next few months. Lawmakers will be holding hearings to document to the American public the most detailed and complete look into the individuals and events that led to the Capitol insurrection.
