| Tobago Organisation of the People Chairman, Mr. Lionel Coker |
The
People's National Movement (PNM) lead administration have indicated
and initiated action in creating a roundabout at the Aukenskeouch
junction- Tobago . However, the Tobago
Organisation of the People (TOP) have expressed their disapproval in such a move,
and have suggested that a traffic light system would better
serve the motoring public.
TOP's chairman,
Lionel Coker congratulated the Secretary for the Division of
Infrastructure and Public Utilities for attempting to implement
measures that would alleviate the number of road carnage that are
experienced at the junction. However, Coker continued by saying more planning
should be done, given the magnitude of the project they are about to
undertake.
Further, Coker
emphasized that the TOP doesn't believe a roundabout is the best
solution, and suggested that the Division should
"synchronize and integrate the intervention at Aukenskeouch junction
with the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Old Milford Road
The
TOP is also recommending that the east bound lane from Aukenskeouch junction to
Scarborough be extended a further 50m for
safer merging of traffic coming out of the Carnbee area.
Coker indicated that the issue is a major one and should be critically
examined.
TOP
is now calling on all stakeholders to voice their opinion on the
construction of the roundabout at Aukenskeouch.
