PNM people why not propose this!

[BRZ]

So been saying this a while now yet I cant figure out why they have not taken any proper steps to look into its feasibility.



That entire piece of Stagnant water just after sea lots, this can be filled and utilitized as a HUGE car park to serve the city of port of spain, not the government ministers and MP's ( that's what they have Hyatt for), not the politishitians, but the people, PArk and RIDE, and if you MUST go into the city then you PAY to do so.

Or bulid a More MODERN city Gate on that side and then reuse the current city gate as the new CAR PARK for port of SPAIN!

[antlind]

You taking away the Sea Lots dwellers water front. Can you imagine the rioting? On a more serious note though, for me to park there I have to see real security in place.

[1UZFE]

Becuz PNM ppl who live there will break into cars n protest for taking THIER land/sea.

[BRZ]

I'm being serious, obviously there will be an erected wall in between the properties and of course there will be security.

Ummmmmm. U are not iormed i c. Ttec and d car lot there was constantly looted. While having armed security.

The East Port of Spain development plan under Manning called the Sea Lots squatters to be removed, for the Port of POS to relocated to the Cove (that stagnant water area you talking about) and for Beetham landfill to be closed and replaced by an Airport. Sea Lots was to have become a commercial zone.

[MG Man]

sounds feasible, once constructed with the right levels of security and restricted access

[Redman]

They should do this North and South....
Point Sando Felicity(?) and POS.

in the gulf of paria is easy to reclaim land...ala down town POS and West moorings.

reclaim 5 or 10 acres and set up park and ride facilities...with what ever commercial activities that make sense.

run the transport from those areas....

[teems1]

Once that 2 lane bottleneck exists at NP it won't help amount of time it takes to get into POS.

The park and ride facility has to be implemented higher up, somewhere around Grand Bazaar.

Something is wrong with that diagram. Oh I know. The water is too blue and clean. Have you ever seen the water around Sea Lots?

[RASC]

Would've really taken the country another step forward...

Thanks UNC!

Stand up against car park
By Shaliza Hassanali

Laventille community activist Lennox Smith is advising residents of Sea Lots, Port-of-Spain, to defend with their lives the lands they have developed and occupied for the past three decades.

Smith addressed residents of the area on Saturday after hearing of the Government’s plan to build a $300 million multi-storey car park in the Sea Lots cove in the vicinity of the Lighthouse on the Beetham Highway.

The announcement was made at Thursday’s post-Cabinet press conference by Minister of Works Colm Imbert.

He said construction of the car park would help reduce traffic flow into the central business district in Port-of-Spain.

Construction of the car park is expected to be completed in 18 months and it will provide parking for up to 2,000 cars.

Smith said the construction of the car park would mean some people would have to be displaced, as land would have to be reclaimed by the Government.

“Prepare to defend the lands you have developed and occupied with your lives, in order to protect our children’s heritage and legacy,” Smith urged the residents.

He said a forced displacement of residents of East Port-of Spain and environs by the Government to make way for the rich and powerful was not part of the social contract evidenced by the outcome of the 2002 general election.

Smith said the Government’s move to displace families would only increase poverty, crime, hopelessness and youth disillusionment.

I disagree, that highway is a priority not only to the thousands that live there but for the massive industries we are dependent on and hope to establish in the future.

This is why our little country will NEVER improve, Squatters and Illegals figure they OWN this place and they entitled to every damn thing.

How exatly does developing this stagnant area deprive them of anything? a View of the port? A cleaner breath of air as apposed to what they have now?

Based on this article, your thread is a waste of time.

Population of Trinidad=1,328,019

Population of Point Fortin = 20,235 which is 1.52%

Bright Idea lets build a 10 Billion dollar Highway for people in Point Fortin!

Lets use cash so that no one like
IDB can tell us it is a bad idea.

The highway also serves Debe, Penal, Fyzabad, La Brea and Siparia plus many other small communities. Plus the Atlantic LNG trains, Brighton industrial estate and the majority of our onshore oil installations.

You sounding like a north man with no clue of what you are talking about.
