The Controller has endorsed a proposal to create street names in the city of San Jose.
The initiative includes the installation of 16,000 name plates throughout the canton bearing the number of the street and avenue, which will be attached to facades or on poles, said Mayor Johnny Araya.
The signs would be installed in 2013 and would show the logo of the Municipality as well as Banco Nacional and Banco de Costa Rica, sponsors of the project.
The mayor of San Jose and state generator ICE are proposing to install a plant to create electricity from garbage.
Plants such as these are on the rise around the world. In Europe there are more than 400, and more than 80 in the United States.
An article in Nacion.com reports that the initial proposal does not define exactly when the initiative would come online, and who would be responsible for converting the waste into energy, but agrees that it would be a private company, selected through a competition process.
The French government has donated resources to analyze the feasibility of building a tram line about 5 km from the Costa Rican capital.
The project aims to ease traffic congestion in the capital, where hundreds buses and cars come in daily, generating a high level of pollution.
The municipality of San Jose estimates that the study will be conducted in four months, and if approval to proceed is granted, construction would begin a month later.
The country will invest $ 24 million in organizing the 2013 Central American Games.

"What is not included in that amount is the renovation of the National Gymnasium and construction of the Sports Village," Araya stated to Nacion.com.
