Member of Parliament for St. Lucy, Denis Kellman is holding firm to the believe that the expansion of ABC Highway is not the solution to the traffic problems in Barbados.
In fact, he opined that every time a lane is added it makes congestion twice as bad. He was speaking in the Lower House yesterday as Government sought to acquire a supplementary of over $7 million to go towards the Ministry of Transport and works to complete a number of projects across the island.
Kellman stated that the answer is in utilizing parallel roads to take traffic off the ABC Highway. He alluded to a problem area, Warrens where he suggested that a road can be developed to take traffic away from Warrens Roundabout into the Arthur Seat Road to the Warrens Development Road, through Cane Garden, Padmore Village, thereby giving motorists more options.
Coming from the Hothersal Roundabout to Warrens, he suggested making use of the intermediary road on the left to put the traffic unto Green Hill without coming to the heavily congested Warrens.
He opined that flyovers are not the answer either, as they would serve only to take traffic from one section of the highway and place it unto another road.
Kellman thanked Minister Boyce for the work planned for St. Lucy, lamenting that the parish had to suffer for 14 years and has a whopping 115 tenantry roads in that constituency. (JH) (Barbados Advocate)
