Victoria Sq or QPS, not Queen St

My initial thought was that the Port of Spain City Corporation and Mayor Joel Martinez chose Queen Street because Commissiong is a “queen of the universe.” But what she needs is a street yet to be named. Not Queen Street. Must we continue to devalue our history? The corporation should also consider that all the businesses, residences, and even the mosque on Queen Street will have to change addresses.

How about renaming Victoria Square, or the Queen’s Park Savannah, or part of Long Circular Road — from Patna Street to the Western Main Road — after Commissiong? There are new housing developments being built and I am sure the developers would have Commissiong in their thoughts.
