(PLTM) - Over one hundred palm trees are being planted throughout Road Town and its surroundings.
The government said it is part of its initiatives to develop a pedestrian-friendly city.
The trees are being planted along Waterfront Drive, Administration Drive, and the Market Square.
“The City of Road Town is our Little City with a Big Heart, and our intention is to have a healthy heart, a striving heart, and a city that the residents of these Virgin Islands can be proud of," Hon. Kye Rymer, Minister for Transport, Works and Utilities stated.
Minister Rymer added, “We started with the traffic turnaround; the City Park and Ride Shuttle Service remains ongoing; and there are some ease-of-traffic-flow projects that are currently taking place, such as an additional lane being constructed on Waterfront Drive and the extended lane by Pasea Estate.”
