hardly any body against the high way, is just that those of us with knowledge about mangroves and a soft spot for natural ecosystems don't like that it has to pass through the mangrove.

the mangrove would be very costly to build through as well. that is why i say to go around it and head directly to pt fortin. instead of passing the high way when it is down by debe all the way up to la brea then back down to pt fortin, i suggest routing it from debe, around the mangrove and straight, more or less to pt. fortin. develop connectors from la brea to the highway.

the amount of money they might spend in the long route along the main road and through the mangrove, they could spend that and probably a lil more and route it directly to pt. fortin and develop the connectors from la brea and siparia to the highway. this would cause the road distance from pt. fortin to san'do to the significantly reduced and the trip from la brea to san'do may actually end up being the same.

this could also open up the middle of the peninsula for further small businesses through new settlements.

so, over all same costs, overall reduced commute time from pt. fortin, and same commute time from siparia and la brea, the mangrove is preserved, and more opportunity to develop local businesses via new settlements

What do I put if I worked all over Trinidad in the last 5 years?

[nemisis]

out of curiosity which area you live?? no need to be specific north east/central/west,central, south east/west?

i just find that people who all the time saying they don't cross grand bazaar suddenly "care".
If proper assessments wasn't done then fine but what is the case if it was done? are you as an environmentalist going to be happy about the reason they give for destroying a mangrove ecosystem regardless of the reason??

^^^ d arse i now realize i sitting here seriously contemplating a reply for that

[genghis]

should specify if it is the contentious portion...

[brams112]

Both sides of the creek all times of the day on any given day.

[toyolink]

I not good at these things....maybe the OP could do another thread to polls those in support of 'the re-route movement highway route vs the route proposed by the state.
I believe the majority of folks support the proposed highway but what is in contention is 'route'.

It not passing through the mangroove,how much times will people say this,it passing on the side,the same way the south trunk road is next to the mangroove,kubs plan, along the south trunk is passing in the mangroove,if you know south fellah you may understand what i am talking about,kubs lying about the route.

Nah boi don't think that highway passing in any bush,is million dollar properties going down the drain,something the detractors may never afford to own

[nervewrecker]

One night, one accident, nothing obstructing traffic.

See in front me and behind me (chain of lights in my mirror).

so...WHO says the mangrove ecosystem wb destroyed ???
if access channels, etc,etc are being incorporated to maintain water flow across the line, it's only the foundation of the highway that's a permanent feature.
All the bawl & cry....look at Pluck Road in Woodland......the lagoon not dead & the original channels were preserved when the road was built...

[JoKeR1980]

do we really need another thread of this? ^

[link]

^^ do tell how a sando to point highway affecting passing grand bazaa

it will show 'point' ppl how pnm kept them in the dark & had them voting in ignorance & squalor.........
imagine what will happen if the southern constituencies get a taste of real progress....not just the pnm gruel of 'allyuh being oppressed because ur a pnm constituency'.......
.
even schupid, partisan trini will vote for progress & betterment of living conditions.....pnm fighting hard to prevent dat...

[zoom rader]

Dont worry after Pt Fortin highway then Mayaro Highway coming.

[nemisis]

What about no politics in this thread men don't get?? Also as far as I have read this highway to point is a pnm plan being continued by the pp so while I agree that pnm has starved south of development while trying to secure votes else where this highway does not make an able example for your point.

Now once again you can ramble on about your opinions on the highway, it's route, better plans, assessments or lack thereoff etc but next man try to add a political spin "looking at you zoom and fari" I requesting thread locked. Hunger strike thread have plenty of that and lots of room to add more.


Can't say zoom he behaving himself...
