But before he offers himself for any political office - mayor included - Bradley has to rehabilitate his image, which, right now, means rehabilitating streets that have fallen to ruin with the last month of rains. Today the City announced that major works will start on two high volume traffic areas. The work will block or partially block two major access ways into the city:..
Kenny Morgan, Public Relations - Belize City Council
"One of the two major arteries in the city will be interrupted; one being our present location at the corner of Partridge Street and the George Price Highway. The entire section between the Lord Ridge Cemetery; from Partridge Street to its junction with Vernon Street will be worked on commencing tomorrow morning at 10am. Because of the works that will be carried on of course we will have to do some traffic diversion. I take this opportunity to inform the public of the altering routes that will be provided. At this time we are looking at for entry and exit from the city we are looking at utilizing Western Avenue and Mahogany streets and this will be for the larger vehicles; goods trucks, delivery vehicles and trailers. We will be asking these drivers to utilize the Western Avenue/Mahogany Street route."
"For smaller vehicles we will be utilizing Vernon Street as the entry and exit point. As well we have just been informed that works are to be commencing on the Flag Monument Round-about. This is a project that will have significant impact on the motoring public and as such we will be carrying the works out in a way so as to not let the burden be too hard on the public. While the works are on-going at the Flag Monument Round-about a lane will be kept open so as to facilitate the flow of traffic in to and out of the city, but we are asking motorist if it is not absolutely necessary for you to venture into that area as much as possible. Try to use alternate routes such as St. Thomas Street, Coney Drive and the other streets that are in the area."
Work on the Western Highway will take two to 3 weeks and on the Belcan roundabout, 10 - 12 days.
