WAIT A MINUTE! This is the first I ever heard that those of us on the sea side of the NOT A ROAD were part of Reef Village! I don't think Reef Village even claims ownership of us. In the past we were lumped into Tres Cocos and sometimes called Bob's Flats. LOL
Hey S & S - I understand you're defending your project - and good for you - however, those of us on the sea side have worked all along in patching the road. Chris Barenfanger even put down two concert strips that a big equipment operator tore up the first night.
Yes, there are some places up north where the roads are as bad as in front of Reef Village - most of the "lakes" caused by the heavy equipment being run up and down the roads. There is a big difference in pot holes and lakes. We golf carts can get through pot holes if we go slow enough - we can not get through standing water without shorting out our electrical systems.
Drainage has been a problem for a long time but it is becoming increasingly worse as the roads are packed down and the sides built up. Just yesterday and long time Belizean resident told me that when the grader used to go down the road two men with shovels accompanied it - one on either side. They shoveled out the built up bank and tossed the sand back into the middle of the road. I think we need to reinstitution that. Jim Tzycan and I are paying a worker to do jus that between the turn north just past the Palapa Bar and our houses.
Bottom line is those that destroy the road need to fix the road; the equipment that makes it bad could be used to make it better.
