Some St Michael residents have criticized the Ministry of Transport and?Works’ proposal to reduce vehicular traffic on Observatory Road by blocking access to Highway 6.
The residents made their concerns known during a town hall meeting at Luther Thorne Primary School on proposed changes to the flow of traffic at Observatory Road.
The ministry said the changes were necessary because the traffic on Observatory Road was too heavy and the vehicles exiting the road to Highway 6 could cause traffic to build up for miles.
However, residents contended that motorists would drive through Clapham instead and cause traffic congestion. (MK)
