The deplorable state of High Palm Road, South Ruimveldt

Dec 08, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

It is with great concern that I pen this letter to the relevant authority/authorities.

Road works have begun on High Palm Road, South Ruimveldt Gardens, since early in the month of November, closing off access from Aubrey Barker Road. Note, this point of access serves residents of both Kiskadee Drive and High Palm Road. As a result of these road works, the alternative access to residents of the aforementioned locations is from Cane View Avenue.

Additionally, it was observed that Guyana Water Inc.’s (GWI) team was also doing work in the said area – whether they are finished or not, it’s left to one’s wonder. To the corner of Cane View Avenue and High Palm Road, large ditches on both sides of the junction can be observed. These were created as a result of GWI’s work, and were left open by the said utility company. This has caused great concern for residents traversing through there. To date, many vehicles, including the large trucks transporting materials, have been victims of these ditches causing them to widen further thus making navigating into High Palm Street very dangerous.

When this occurs, access into and out of this area is now inhibited since vehicles cannot pass, and the roads are too poor to facilitate foot-traffic. A report was made to GWI and, to date, no action has been taken. Are we awaiting a serious tragedy to occur?

On behalf of the residents of this community, I am imploring for meaningful action be taken soonest to resolve this perilous existing situation.

Concerned Resident
