I recently joined to clarify some issues arising. First of all the San Pedro Town Council has jurisdiction over all public roads and we are to maintain and clear such. In keeping with what the mayor said that it is the Council's plans to have the road as far as Mata Chica, work has begun on clearing the road in the Tres Cocos Area. We did send letters to those who had structures or plants on the street side infront of thier area. That resulted in meetings and the planning of what was going on. In some areas we did not send letters as the council was simply doing its job which was street maintenance.

In regards to Birdland and Maya House, there was not going to be any work there as we did not know exactly where the property pegs were and we had to get that established before we worked in that area. Thus I instructed the workers to clear up to a vacant and semi cleared lot beside Birdland.

Work continued down south and it was Birdland and Maya house who put thier workers to clear and remove trees and fences that were in some instances up to 15 feet into the street. When they finished, the workers informed that we could move ahead and clear the area, so the town council workers did so. That is why these two properties did not get a letter of our intention of the work in the area.

I would like to make it know that we are in no way doing this to benefit any developer. We are doing it to benefit the people who live up north and use the road on a daily basis. The council is thankful to Indigo who donated material and we were able to place it in sections of the street to make the road a bit smoother. We are planning on putting material in the low areas like infront of coctal inn, aji and behind belizean coves.

My hope personally, in my term as a member of the town council, is to have the road diverted from the beach side to where it should be and to have the roads, where declared, the appropriate width they should be. Thanks

Severo Guerrero, Deputy Mayor
