Darrell On Duck Lane And Ongoing Road Renovations
posted (November 22, 2016)
Under his tenure as mayor, Darrell Bradley has overseen an impressive overhaul and upgrade of major streets in Belize City. Now that many major roads are up to grade a, the focus is shifting to the smaller subsidiary streets, like the little known Duck Lane - which is between Church and Orange Streets. Today the mayor gave us an update on the state of Belize City's road renovations...

Darrell Bradley, Belize City Mayor
"We have several projects that are in the pipeline. A lot of people were complaining about the street in front of Publics, that is being cemented right now. The project is quite extensive almost at South Street. So that that East and West Canal will be resurfaced. Duck Lane is part of that infrastructure improvement. We've finish the entire length of St. Joseph Street. We've had significant concerns about Cinderella Plaza. Right now we are targeting a section of Faber's Road which is very dilapidated given the recent rains. We are also looking at other sections of major road networks including Raccoon Street, because we are looking at the expansion of the concreting projects. We are still doing street infrastructure and improvement. It's not as obvious because of course we don't have a municipal bond 20 million dollars, but there is still a significant amount of infrastructure going on. We are also getting underway with Ariel Rosado Street which is adjacent to Brodies on the Northern Highway and that's being done in partnership with the members of the community who are putting together 50% of the funds to hot mix that street. Right now we have about 7-8 street improvement projects going on within Belize City."
