San Fernando mayor to drivers: Drive smart in south city

Addressing the San Fernando City Corporation’s monthly statutory meeting at City Hall yesterday, Regrello said the plan would enable motorists to reach their destinations in a shorter time.

One of the changes involved the changing of the direction of Short Street as vehicles entering San Fernando from Pointea- Pierre Road and Vistabella would now enter High Street using that roadway.

He said people who were conducting business along Harris Promenade at the bank or any of the churches or court or the hospital, could enter High Street and turn left at Republic Bank corner on the Promenade as opposed to going around Coffee Street and onto Lord Street. Regrello said the Council had also recommended the removal of vendors to a designated area at Library Corner “where there is no traffic and where they will not interfere with the free flow of traffic.”
