| Hilton Sandy Secretary for the Division of Infrastructure & Public Utilities |
In a media breifing last week, Secretary for the Division of Infrastructure and Public Utilities as well as two Engineers spoke at length about the 4 million dollar roundabout which would be constructed at the Aukenskeoch junction.
During the briefing, Secretary Hilton Sandy and his team justified the roundabout. Dr Rae Fulonge and Engineer indicated that the intersection at the junction is wide and as such the roundabout is the better choice in solving both the problem of traffic and accidents.
Last week the Tobago Organisation of the People condemned the planned roundabout, insisting that a traffic light system would better serve the public. However, Dr. Fulonge disagreed and ruled out among other suggestions a traffic light system.
The roundabout would be double lane and consideration was given to the size of the intersection and drainage. Engineers accompanying the Secretary further said that the roundabout has met international standards.
Moreover, they believe that at the end every one would be satisfied. Construction of the Roundabout should take approximately 3 months.
