Reduction in finances but we building billion dollar highway.... Talk about priorities

You do realize that infrastructure like roads/access is one of the best things you can do in terms of stimulating an economy of an area?

Is this sustainable development? Use the limitted finances in a venture that would produce revenue not on a blasted road. Or is that too difficult for this band of clowns to think about. Just build Road like they always do to cost hundreds of millions so that they can arrange a nice kickback.

this has to be the dumbest thing I have ever read...common sense not so common again...for the sake of your comment, why not just pave the existing roads and save a whole lot of $$$....and for the sake of reality that highway to Manzan and Toco is another Point Fortin in the making...it would not be completed within the next 3 years...

if as you say building roads is stimulating the economy for the area why they don't finish the Point highway?? I'd tell you why...because it's a yellow highway and they want to build a red one...pack of fcking idiots...how it go look if they finish a yellow highway..

now back to manzan and toco....how many people do you hear complaining about traffic to those places??? absolutely none...people complain about the condition of the present roads not the traffic situation..

[Kronik]

Imagine, they rather build new highway than fix the potholes on the highway, there is a bad one by grand bazaar southbound, one by courts in Freeport, and many in between

It isn't as dumb as you might think. It isn't unheard of to build infrastructure during times like these to provide jobs.

The Manzan Toco highway doesn't have to turn out like the Point Fortin highway once it is financed with a loan (maybe IDB or so) rather than directly from the country's pocket. That's the main reason why Point Fortin highway work stopped because money for the country ran low. That highway should have been done by an international loan with checks and balances.

Also, work has started back on the Point Fortin highway so it seems that they are listening to posters like yourself?

The Manzan, Toco highway may not have to do with traffic just yet. It may be that it's part of their plan to build a point of entry/exit in Toco.

Not saying I agree with everything. Just saying it's best to not be so emotional and sit and think a bit.

I hear you but while you worry, and hate to tell me I told you so in the future I can point to the point fortin highway presently and say I told you so. Funding that from our pockets made no sense yet no one said anything or spoke about rioting. That left us more open to an incomplete project plus bobol than funding it via a loan.

Anyways time will tell.

[timelapse]

Next up- Bridge to Tobago.
Mark my words

[Les Bain]

Won't a bridge to Tobago open up the competition that Tobago bigmen so adamant to block?

[Dizzy28]

Won't a bridge to Tobago open up the competition that Tobago bigmen so adamant to block?

A bridge is nothing but a pipe dream. The nearest points between Trinidad to Tobago is approximately 38kms and that's over open and deep water would probably mean a tunnel would be the more feasible option but the cost may not warrant its construction.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Tunnel sounding bess. Imagine how cool yuh car go sound inside.

The mazanilla highway is different from the toco highway.

The "Toco" highway starts from Valancia towards Toco, it is scheduled to begin mid 2018. The "Manzanilla" highway is from Cumuto thru Sangre Grande to Manzanilla. Two different highways.

The Valencia to Toco highway makes more sense once you account for further development in Toco itself such as multipurpose port, tourism, etc.

The Cumuto to Manzanilla highway is not needed at the time. It makes more sense to stop at Sangre Grande for now.

The blame game continues..I hear ah minister blame unc for our present situation within schools...awaits people on fb to light she up

[drchaos]

Paving existing small connector roads and having highway access are two completely different things.

Its sad that you cannot comprehend these things and you are allowed to vote. This is why we are in this mess politically.

I propose that we should only allow people to vote after they have passed an exam that includes history, economics and the basics of social planning.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

It is sad that u cannot comprehend common sense...do we need this highway at this time??? Ur goodly pm save band yuh belly and talk of cutbacks etc etc...so why this large project ??

JTUM leader, Ancil Roget delivered a letter today to Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley on what he describes as austerity measures in the national budget.

Roget and an amalgamation of labour federations joined together in an attempt to reverse some of the fiscal measures

[sMASH]

Rasta Minister blame the shooting of the prisons officer on their own misdeeds... So it's his fault for getting shot.

[The_Honourable]
