Pavement Blocked Off on Marli Street

So I walking to work this morning gaping ah bird line up visa...almost walked into a galvanized fence built overnight on the pedestrian pavement Marli Street after the church. Ah blue vex since ah now have to walk into the busy 1-lane street to pass! If rain falling and it have water in the drain, only place to walk would be the middle of the street, no joke!
The next side of the road I believe the US embassy have ah letter of comfort since for years now they use one lane and the pavement for a staging area for persons accessing their compound (so disrespectful for folks waiting in the rain).

Mayor Lee Sing always quick to wreck cars, buss down on limers and noise makers...always the man on the street. Frankly I have no issue with him fighting for a more orderly city....anyone think he could rock the boat and ask Mr John Rahael to kindly move back his construction site fencing into his property so I don't get run over? Tuner bush-lawyers help needed!

Did not know you cannot stop there...will not pass in case meh ole van start to stutter and I get in problems.Passing of time I recon no one want to 'rock d boat' there and get turn down for visa..so I come to accept.

My issue is with the new private construction on the other side of the road - pavement blocked off (well less about 8 broken inches off the drain). Cannot do that usually since Municipal Police would come down on you...typical application of the laws in Trinidad..only when convenient but never consistent. Bottom line this putting pedestrians (especially older folks) at risk of being knocked down since they now have to walk onto the road with traffic coming from behind your back. I could accept if ah manhole cover damage or even if ah vagrant sleeping there but to willfully block off the pavement and put the public at risk...that must be wrong

there is a designated area around an embassy that makes it legally an extension of the country it represents i dont know off hand the official dimensions but that pavement outside the us embassy is considered American soil

People if I understand right the problem is not with the embassy but the construction OPPOSITE the embassy that extends into the road.correct me if I`m wrong.

Yes fencing around building construction site (past church opposite embassy) extended to 8 inches off the road edge so if yuh magga and willing to walk sideways you ok..the other 99% of folks have to step into the road
