And while they can use the street for sports so many motorists can’t find anywhere to park on it. Sure it’s been paved, but 50% of the parking along Albert Street was eaten up by the king sized sidewalk. Now we’re not complaining, after all this is a walking city – but the vehicles have to park somewhere. Today Willoughby told us the council is looking at parking alleviation plans.

Phillip Willoughby, City Councillor
“What will we be happening is the series of events took place and phases and in stages. The pavement and the paving of Albert and Regent has concluded, the vendors are now in the park, and now we look at the best possible solution and option to give parking for the motoring traffic for the city, in particular the downtown area.”

Jules Vasquez,
Respectfully Councillor, you are speaking about possibilities and options, I want concrete. Do you all have anything, it is not a pie in the sky, parking requires physical space. Can you all secure a physical space to alleviate the parking pressure that you all have created in downtown Belize City?

Phillip Willoughby,
“Yes of course we can. There are parking areas designated as is right now that are permanent but again there is a project that is in its consultation stage and we will providing that the council agrees, we will unveil that to the city and hopefully we can resolve the parking problem for downtown Belize.”
