I attended the gathering at the MFA in Noord where the department of Public Work presented its upcoming portion of the road building project from the area of Ling & Sons Supermarket to the Riu Antillas.
The project is expensive and fancy and never mind the polemic whether we need it fancy or modest, we will grow into it, and it will certainly alleviate the traffic bottle-neck in town.
The presentation was very low energy and very somber. My eyes closed. It would have been received warmly had the speaker put some charisma and charm into it.
Bottom line, we will be inconvenienced with many closed roads and alternative routes for three months – that’s an optimist talking, and at the end of three months we will have an improved flow of traffic with more roundabouts.
They will be cancelling the cactus, sea grape and aloe median in the scenic road along the hotels, the two traffic lanes will be adjacent to each other, and the portion of the southbound lane will be return to the beach.
BUT…no pedestrian crossings. The Loss Prevention department of La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino expressed concern. I think Super Food should be worries, the challenge for shoppers to make it safely across the street continues.
