Last night on the news, we spoke to Francis Woods of CISCO Construction about Central American Boulevard and whether it will be ready for Carnival Day next Saturday.
We also used the opportunity to ask him about the speedbump confusion on Princess Margaret Drive. That road was recently paved without speedbumps, and then the jackhammers came in to install speedbumps, and then those jackhammers came back to destroy those speedbumps, so that new ones could be installed. Woods told us, it's their bad:..
Francis Woods, Contractor - CISCO Construction
"We were quite upset, that was a simple miscommunication between ourselves and the person that did it. However we are taking them out and putting a very soft bump. We want that the bump still is there to slow down traffic, but that it's not very dramatic going over it. We want to consider cyclist as well because they have to go over it. Whenever we have races and stuff we want to make it nice enough that they can go over it easy."
Jules Vasquez
"All this has a cost; men have to be working out there, equipment, cement, structural integrity - who is bearing that cost?"
Francis Woods, Contractor - CISCO Construction
"That one we are bearing. That was definitely a communication error on our part, so we are taking the full blunt of that."
There are similar type abrupt speedbumps on Seashore Drive and those will also be changed to the smoother ones.
