Transportation is a nightmare

Sep 28, 2011 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
This matter must be treated with very much urgency.
I live in New Diamond Scheme. Going out is a nightmare in the morning. We leave at 7:00 a.m. and get on the Public Road for half my journey. Later on I take another forty five minutes to town.
Before school closes for the summer break the line up was stretching from the Public Road to the secondary school. Now it’s past the secondary stretching to Ninth Avenue. According to statistics, 8,000 vehicles are sold every year. That is, 666 per month, two months 1,332, so while school closes the line up stretches by six blocks.
Question, what will happen by Christmas? Right away we all see the need for another access in the vicinity of  DDL at Diamond. Please do that road first.
Another suggestion is that from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. let the carriageway going north, be an express lane. Another help is restrict trucks, trailers and heavy vehicle from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday to Friday.
Another important point is the bottleneck from Ruimveldt Police Station to Punt Trench. Make it into three lanes, two to go to Georgetown and one to get out of Georgetown.
It will stop the single line of vehicle stretching to Rambaran Marine from Punt Trench. The road is broad enough to do so.
Please do this bottleneck now by painting double yellow lines and one white line from Punt Trench to Ruimveldt Station.
