CIG pushes out George Town revamp at 11th hour
(CNS): A request for proposal was issued Friday for bidders to undertake street paving upgrades, curbing and sidewalks, integrated concrete pedestrian systems, street lighting, addition of mature trees, seating and street furniture as part of the long-awaited George Town revitalisation project. In another eleventh hour move, less than three weeks before the election, the PPM-led Unity government issued the tender on the unfulfilled Progressive campaign promise first made on the 2013 election hustings. The project was prepared following public consultations that took place almost five years ago.
The proposed project will result in the full pedestrianization of several streets in the downtown area.
According to a release from the commerce ministry, this first phase of work in the business district will be to upgrade Cardinall Avenue. Then in the second phase the post office intersection of Edward Street, Cardinall Avenue and Main Street will be upgraded. Officials said this involves replacing the road surface, adding a circular monument garden, mature trees, urban lamp poles, seating, underground utility chase, manholes and drainage.
Similar work is then proposed to take place in the third phase of the project on Main Street. George Town Manager Colin Lumsden said the main objectives of the project are to improve the aesthetics and character of the downtown area.
“This initiative is aimed at greater foot traffic by locals and tourists in George Town while increasing security and safety by adding adequate lighting and pedestrian friendly spaces as well as enhancing the surroundings by providing public open spaces adjacent to businesses,” he said. “The cornerstone of any economic development weighs heavily on its downtown area and that is why this development will create a gathering area that is colourful, attractive and much cooler with added vegetation and trees for shading as well as lighter coloured finishes.”
Officials said the design of the central district enhancement project is a collaborative effort by the Ministry of Commerce Planning and Infrastructure, the National Roads Authority, Caribbean Utilities Company and transportation civil engineers, Apec Consulting Engineers Limited.
At this stage government has not attached a price tag for this part of the project, which is expected to start in June and run for six months.

Where’s the clown car?
Victoria’s Secret? Really? Oh come on!
I saw someone ride the George Town Shuttle Bus the other day!
5.20pm Surely you are referring to the driver!
Paving the way for increased Cruise ship passengers. Next they start the whole dock push again.
PLEASE DON’T!!!!!!!

Too bad CIG thinks laying down Barber Greene everywhere is a good start for down town. With what needs to happen below ground to upgrade infrastructure (communications, water, electricity and sewer) why haven’t they considered laying interlocking paving bricks instead. Pavers can be reused and relayed, asphalt is not readily reusable. Pavers are more suitable for pedestrian thoroughfares and don’t absorb as much heat either.
Funny how everything gets done weeks before election.
Wasting money on monuments to self how vain ! George Town was deceased the day Middleton estate was sign over to Dart Thanks Kearney enjoy your 100k Jeep Rubicon you earned it !
Like putting a suit on a dead person.
6.57am Very apt, except we can’t cremate this one.
Actually, that’s not a bad sounding idea. Also, fire is cool.
Stand aside folks, nothing to see here. Vote-buying, especially a few weeks before elections? No such thing… It’s all a giant coincidence.
‘Curbing and sidewalks’. What? Last time I looked we were still a BOT. Kerbing and pavements if you please. And centre, metre, neighbour, behaviour….etc…and let’s dump this swapping Z for S nonsense.
Get a life
The center of gravity has shifted. It iz what it iz.
As usual, Caymans finest rubbish. Oh golly gee, urban light post. WOW. Maybe if someone was actually in town after dark other than going 60km hr driving like an azz. Or maybe it’s for the wandering occasional drunk stumbling around. Great idea. Oh, maybe it will help the muggers so they can see who they are preparing to attack…..
it’s not that I don’t like the idea but it’s just stupid. I am all about revitalization of the area but just putting in some lights, trees and so forth is not an answer. The entire area should be converted***** sorry to all that hate him****** to a Dart like area which was created in Camana Bay. An actual reason to be in town. Get all of the offices and other b.s. out of town. Create an area which consists of living space, shops( not tourist crap, although I known there needs to be some tourist crap for the time tourists are actually here……) outside eating, live music, …….you get the idea.
Parking….yes , to anyone who doesn’t know, there are these things called parking garages. Amazing. Somewhere to park your car. Crazy idea. And of course let’s touch on the drinking and driving. Absolutely not an advocate of that. That’s crazy. I am all about coming up with some kind of after hours transportation system to get people home safe. That’s absolute and I believe possible.
If you really want to create some kind of usable city like region you have to think a little bigger. Streetlights, subway, and Dairy Queen are not the answer. Although I do love a little evening cone from DQ.
Love your comment…Wonderland in the Land of Fools…
Excellent comment. Nobody really knows what they are doing, where they are going, and where do they want to arrive.
Haphazard thinking. As if they are regularly being sprayed with Raid-still alive, but mental function is compromised.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
What about maintaining authenticity of the place and distinctive Caribbean architecture? Preservation of a small town character?
That boat sailed years ago.
You just lost my vote on your DQ comment. How dare you!
@ 9:08 am: I like this post! Too bad our fearless leaders can’t see anything like this!!!
There are very few offices left in George Town – a few government functions and one or two private businesses, but mainly it has been given over entirely to shops servicing the cruise trade.
No matter how much lipstick they put on it, George Town will remain a dead pig until that changes.
If you want to revitalise the town centre, then first of all get some people living there, then have planning do something about the mix of commercial uses for properties.
I expect the next step will be residential condos being developed one block inland from the waterfront.
Small town densification will be necessary to achieve the 100k population goal.
Cayman Downtown is coming around, beautiful flags flying on Main Street by the courts. Heroes Square redone. I see lots of buildings getting renovated parking lots repaved. New public benches and planters. It all looks much better than before Covid. Nice to see the collective pride of the different building owners coming together to improve town. It’s a community.
What planet are you on.
This will never be implemented
A community with no parking, reasons/draws to go there, and seriously unsafe after 6pm… due to cranked inhabitants of adjacent residential.
Yes, flags, re-paved parking lots, some plants and benches are really going motivate people to spend time in GT…
I’d like to recommend, as I have to some of our current legislators for many years that we take this opportunity to start planting edible fruit trees everywhere that we plant trees with public funds rather than mere decorative trees. How about giving us mangoes and avocados instead? Same cost, greater benefits. We’re talking about increasing farming and self reliance, but CIG has been planting what? Lead by example! Please don’t worry that fruit might fall to the ground… I seriously doubt that will be a problem. ; ) The only place they would not do well is the waterfront in Hogstye Bay. That will require salt tolerant trees such as date palms to survive the soaking they’ll get there in big storms.
But fruit might fall to the ground…
Might?????
LOL
Fruits wouldn’t last too long on any trees; they don’t with the limited amount of mango and breadfruit trees already dotted around GT.
Why?
Because the GT crack heads pick them to enable them to get their fix.
Good idea!
How about trees that would attract birds and butterflies to the area? Or attractive flowering trees that one does not see in Minnesota or Europe, like Poinciannas, orchid trees and such?
They will create shade, photo opportunities, maybe even get people interested in visiting the Botanic Park.
I guess the one who suggested that Seven Mile Beach Road speed limit be reduced to 25 MPH from 40 MPH = starting at Pageant Beach to the Public Beach and 40 MPH to 35 MPH pass the Sundowner Condos and London House Etc. and then as you pass the W. Bay Cemetery to 30 MPH on pass Foster’s Supermarket is the same person-s designing George Town Waterfront = Folks We’re three weeks away from Election day = Remember your democratic rights is you Vote and a stroke of a pen is more powerful than a Sword = Members of this Government as well as Mckeeva’s Government is running SCARED = Don’t let anyone buy your Votes and I say this with ” No Apology ” Anyone who sells their Vote should not be called a Caymanian = Does anyone know when a Politian is Lying – is when they say “TRUST ME ” =
Does anyone know when a Politian is telling the “TRUTH ” is when they are calling each other “LIARIERS”
Smile it’s a wonderful weekend
Dexter Layman Ebanks
You can always tell when a politician is lying……… His lips are moving !
Oi, Collin, where are the actual plans? (They don’t appear to be on the CIG website. But that’s a colossal failure anyway.) If the Government are serious about ‘public consultation’ then the final draft plans need to be shown to the public before it goes out to bid.
I like how they “consult” us AFTER documents and plans have been signed. I feel SO included. They are supposed to work for us. I don’t feel represented. Haven’t for many years.
https://cayman.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/40644
The drawings look unimpressive for how many years of thinking and salary have gone into it. You need more trees to create shade with benches under the trees, widen the pedestrian area and keep one road running through. After watching CIG press conference yesterday on waste management please put Peter in charge of this vital project. And maybe they should actually hire landscape architects as they have at Dart to assist and plan on a better design before rushing this through. The revitalization project of the main square in front of court buildings in George Town is awful not one tree in sight, no shade who wants to sit in blazing sun. And how many times has that been redeveloped wrongly. Such a waste of money. Hire the right people and do it properly and not in a rush weeks before an election.
Exactly.
Absolutely. In fact dig up Heroes Square completely and put in grass and trees. Everyone avoids that area like the plague because it’s like walking across a desert in the summer. Oh yes – and give it a proper name while you’re at it.
I used to eat lunch in the shade in the old square before they turned it into an area that is hotter than the sun in the summer.
Yes while you tried not to inhale the stench of those that used the bushes as their public toilet.
Doesn’t anyone remember back when there was shade and benches??!?!!! I always thought that was why they took it all away. Because the vagrants hung out there.
Pepperidge Farm remembers… Lol
Can’t beat a hot lunch
Show us the deal we made!
Well done Unity Govt!
That was done by Mac’s UDP govt so they could find a big space for a very big forever honorable statue .
Colin Lumsden the town manager married to Pearlina Lumsden the Political candidate running for office in George Town west boy the ppm and unity rogues trying to stack the deck in this election or split votes whatever they planning Cayman simply shut it down because whatever their are going to waste our money on it ain’t never going to work because we just gave DART the keys to our Capital Camana Bay good nite Cayman!
Asbestos can be scientifically and professional cleaned and disposed of properly making the Glass House an attraction it deserves to be.
Lol
True Mervyn, but disposed where – Mt. Thrashmore so it can burn? Although, I cant think of another option other than shipping it overseas perhaps.
BTW, I agree with your suggestion of using that building as a Nat’l Museum. Just a couple weeks ago I was making a related observation while passing the existing Museum. One drawback I suppose is, Cayman’s artifacts and “museum” pieces would take up only 1 floor. Next thing they would start “padding” content such as done with the “process” of naming National Heroes then granny’s old baggies may end up on display as “museum pieces”.
BTW, Gov’t keeps ignoring, avoiding or forgetting one significant person in our history who SHOULD be a National Hero – Sir John Cumber! For real!! He gave us the plan but we tore it up! To our detriment, nothing has been the same since he and the senior Civil Service team he mentored left the stage!!
The Museum has a “shed full” of artifacts stored at Pasadora Place. I was shown them, and it would take lots of floors to display it all.
I came to say this!
I also wholeheartedly agree about the Glass House. One of my favorite buildings and a real shame it wasn’t maintained. Kind of like a perfect reflection of how the island has become with today’s politicians. Letting things go, not maintaining what used to make this place a paradise. For those that have only been here 10 years, if you think this is nice, you should have seen it before it turned into a Florida key. Yes many good things but sometimes you can upgrade the best features out until it barely resembles the best parts. Not everything has to be shiny and new!
Let’s just hope something is done to repurpose it as it stand before they sell it to Dart in another backroom secret deal/trade! Soon come…
Noted, thanks Mervyn.
A mad rush of vote buying I see, this “proposal” has only been in the works since 2017 and now 🙄 its going to get done. Alden you and and Joey can go fly kites as that’s about how much use I have for you.
Man, PPM desperate now..every little thing you can think about now they rolling out.
People don’t believe this shit..If these things were coming up why did they wait until now to announce them? Are they feeling like they are losing and have to roll out all of these things to save them?
This only shows what they will do to ensure power and their high salaries.
Bang on!
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Trees make a big difference in how an area looks. They should’ve been added ages ago, the waterfront is boiling hot and the place just feels stuffy. And if they want to add pedestrian streets, then provide parking around downtown, otherwise traffic is going to be even more of a nightmare then it is now. Public transport system should be next on the list, with actual public buses, not those musty vans. Look into mixed use buildings; apartments on top, and shops at the bottom. This will bring a community into downtown. Close all those cheap souvenir shops and open leisure places like a mini Cinema, a small Fosters (similar to the mini corner stores they have elsewhere). Bring back the sense of community and vibrancy that it was in the 80s!
The only trees in Cardinal Avenue were planted by Rotary.
Civil servants don’t care about that sort of stuff, just their seeming to do something .
Yes they are black olive trees and provide great shade. The Rotary Club also provided several concrete benches built by the residents of Norhward. They all disappeared years ago and government never bothered to replace them.
Chris I reckon the boys that built the benches knicked them when they were released.
I’ll settle for shade. A little Caymana Bay as you suggest is too complicated for CIG. The result likely to be horrendous.
South church street needs to be made into a one way street. There isn’t enough space for a gas truck, bus, flat bed to pass with traffic coming and then a bicycle will not stop and get out the way so they can save their life. Make it a one way or block bicycle traffic on south church street.
Yes!!!!
Telling bicycles to get out of the way of cars, is like telling sailboats to get out of the way of power boats. Some people just aren’t wired with common sense.
‘South church street needs to be made into a one way street’
Which turns Walker’s Road into complete gridlock. Maybe if folk were a tad more patient and considerate then we could iron out those problems.
Walkers could be one way too.
i’ve been in meetings with cig officials on this….
if you think the civil service have any clue or abilty regarding
town revitilaisation…you are sorely mistaken.
what have they done in the last 15 years????
Both walkers and sc could be one ways hilt overpriced ugly buildings
Is it my imagination or has this government been busy dealing with the EU, the financial industry, passing the needed legislation and keeping it moving forward, COVID and making critical decisions to keep us safe, keeping the economy afloat whilst our borders were closed out of necessity, just to name a few. There’s no other Caribbean Island or other onshore 1st world jurisdiction in our position. We are blessed and to be envied. So they had a few other things to do and they can be excused for just having an opportunity to attend to these matters which might have been put on the back burner. Yes we didn’t like port idea and yes they might not have topped environmental issues but give Caesar was due to Caesar – they have my vote!!! And by the way the relentless bend of environment commentary sounds bias and one sided.
Stop using COVID-19 as an excuse. They were elected in 2017!
I’m not using Covid as an excuse. Show me another Caribbean Island or any other onshore jurisdiction such as the US or the UK that are in our position – stores open, restaurants open, booming economy and generally looking healthy all round? Thats not Covid as an excuse -thats a fact. Good leadership got us here. Yes, there is much more that should be done to help our people. Are you going to stop status grants and PR for the wealthy and the long line of those waiting in the wings to get their PR and status?? Please let me know Johann, Mario (both of you) and Alric?
You realise it was the people of Cayman that achieved this right? Dr Lee, the Governor and CoP lined out rules and the majority followed them. That is why we are in this position. WE earned it.
Wow unbelievable. This is truly the night of ignorance. Yes we earned it because WE abided by laws put in place early enough to shut us down so we could become covid free. Look around you and compare yourself to US or UK or rest of Caribbean. We enjoy this not because of geniuses like you or your kind! You’re scary. Very scary.
You’re stupid. Very stupid.
Seychelles ,Australia, New Zealand to name just 3 x islands , one also a Continent .
Wrong again but good try. NZ did well at the beginning but has had to go back into lockdown a few times. How are they doing with the vaccine programs? So desperate to tear down the Government rather than conceded to the truth they did a remarkably good job!!!
Everything has been open in my area in the US since July with minor restrictions, but certainly open. We do still have to wear masks into establishments, but that has become second nature and really not too big of deal. Actually kept our faces warmer this winter. 🙂
U forgot to add wasting money on the airport project, giving millions of dollars in concessions to millionaires to develop multi-million dollar condos while Cayman families are still below the poverty line, failing education system, no jobs for school-leavers much less college grads returning home, yet work permit numbers soaring.
They still have your wote?
Really will the opposition change the work permit system and the mass grants that are continuously being given away? Please let me know.
Apparently you are forgetting that this is their job. I will give them credit too for covid but let’s face you know those strings were being pulled by the governor and the UK.
Only one minister is appointed for financial and international affairs and dealing with these grey lists and blacklists has been happening since time and memorial. Are you trying to say that this is what kept them so busy that they couldn’t concentrate on the domestic economy until now.
This PPM government believes that as long as they can bring in new development and the only thing they have to do is dole out concessions that the local economy will just keep rolling..and so it has but not for the average Caymanian.
Do you realize that in this country the entry level price for a decent single family home is around $300k and that is in something like a Frank Hall development where every house looks alike.
This PPM train is running off the tracks and we need to figure out how we make this country for Caymanians again otherwise we will so be on a reservations set aside for us somewhere inland by the rich developers.
A good start would be freeing us from anyone that still continues to have the mindset of the PPM and UDP parties.
Cayman we need change. We need to breathe fresh air again. We should to feel this oppressed in our own land.
No I am not forgetting it’s their job. Thats why I am voting for them. They did their job. But I am happy to be convinced otherwise. Are you suggesting a failed economy so that the price of land and property will fall so Caymanians can buy? What is your or the oppositions solution to this plight – destroy the booming economy? Do you have alternative plans to change immigration to save those of us that are multigenerational Caymanians that are becoming outnumbered and cannot afford a piece of land here? I think voters deserve to know.
Dude, we were added to two international sanction lists in less than 6 months directly because this regime FAILED to meet published deadlines and reminders to enact legislation. They were busy alright…too busy fighting legitimate rights of our own Caymanian people on Port and in regards to recognising legal identity of same sex couples.
That is old news and not accurate as to why we are on the list now. If this is oppositions response I’m even more worried. We were on the list 2 years ago because Govt was late in submissions by a day!! The fact that we were put on the list this time isn’t because Government failed but because we are not fighting on a level playing field. You only have to see what the UK is going through with the EU to know that what I’m saying is true. Please stop pandering lies and getting involved in discussions you seem to know little about.
Even by that reimagining, they are failing on all counts.
Again, you have to have a reason to be there and, currently, there are very few.
Colin has been playing with diagrams of how he wants GT to look for years and years. He has never shared the details with the public. Try pedestrianising any significant part of GT and see what happens. What changes to his ideas have been made on account of the fact that the cruise industry is dead for a generation, I wonder?
Amateur civil servants drawing pictures..no research or private sector consultation.
5.38pm We have seen very little from Mr Lumsden since he was appointed full time “Manager” two years ago, except completely digging up Heroes Sq when it was fine before.
The big problem is as you mention, “pedestrianisation” of central George Town. Mr Lumsden seems completely oblivious to the fact that these roads are arterial traffic routes and closing them will result in the gridlock we see every time there is a function where these roads are closed. Does he live on the moon?, where will the traffic go?, why permanently disrupt the lives of commuters for the cruise sheep if and when they return?.
Dreams of turning central George Town into another Camana Bay, are just that, – dreams!.
I have suggested through my MP that the iconic “Glass House” building be refurbished to house a National Museum. Currently, most of the museum’s artifacts are in storage at Pasadora Place and are not available for viewing as the “Old Court House” museum has little display space.
This project if enacted could become educational for all Caymanians and visitors to our Islands, offer a beautiful park for recreation and become a source of National pride. The Government has “earmarked” funds to beautify George Town and this would certainly be a worthy cause that would be much acclaimed.
The one full of asbestos? Iconic my arse.
Much better if Glass House is torn down and a park is created in its place.
It should have been refurbished many years ago before it became a health hazard and become CIMA’s HQ rather than CIMA constantly paying commercial rental rates (SIX isn’t cheap and before that too).
Now? Tear it down is the only option and make a nice park there. Its embarrassing to look at the building now.
tear it down and with the accompanying land, build a multistorey car park for civil servants or even rented out to companies around. Until there is a proper transport system, people will still be driving to work.
There will still be place for some trees, benches and a water feature.
Just wondering. We already have a lot of traffic congestion. Is it being suggested that we will be closing roads to accommodate this plan?
There goes the GT free public bus system….
Paid street parking with a three hour limit downtown, build 4 floors of paid parking on the Tower Building/Seafarers Park space, change the zoning in the core to go to ten floors, with retail on the first, maximum one floor of office, and the balance housing and the downtown revitalisation will take care of it self.
Oh… And move the cargo port to the North Sound.
Oh… And make the world’s best cruise tender facility.
We shouldn’t have to pay for parking anywhere on island. That’s ridiculous. Also, no more cruises ever. They cheap and bring in cheaper tourists. Focus on stay overs and make our tourist attraction areas look good and have quality things to buy and eat.
It is so sad that it take for election to come around for them to see that the roads in george town need to be fix, becouse there have the worst road in this island.
I find this disgusting! Where have these turds been for the last ten years?Anything to keep their place at the trough, huh. Get lost, I ain’t voting for ya!
Words exactly! Disgusting pile of shit all of them for years! Tell em not one politico or runners is allowed to come to my
property, touch my car to put leaflet under my windshield which ends on ground littering. Got rid of the religious paper now this again…you will be charged!
So you’re voting for Mac to be premier.?
You really think that will be an improvement.?
The only reason PPM exists is as an antidote to the Mac Disease. No Mac , No PPM.
“Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen – it’s not going to happen”
Yet still haven’t built bicycle lanes, or a passable sidewalk on east side of West Bay Road, or pedestrian lighting on the west side from which jaywalkers routinely die – right in the heart of the actual Hotel Tourism Zone.
George Town being revitalized is about as likely as the second coming of Christ.
Reeks of desperation.
No that’s the asphalt you’re smelling that they obviously could have put down years ago. Any government that paves just before an election will not get my vote. You do your job ALL the time, like we do ours.
It will never happen. This is all smoke and mirrors prior to the election.
Too little – and WAY too late. This ship sailed a long time ago with Mr Dart at the helm. CIG can never catch up now with the transfer of the financial services business out of George Town to Dart Town. Just look at how many big white collar firms have already moved and whose staff can more easily reach their office workplaces by car from the cross town bye-passes, without enduring the log jam of central GT.
This is good but I wish there were more recent public consultation on the plans. I attended the original public consultations with great interest but at that time it was more of collecting ideas. If it goes out to tender now, how will the public have the opportunity to provide feedback on the specific ideas proposed?
This reminds me of Smith Barcadere, where an RFP was issued without public consultation on the project.
Why not make a short website with a survey monkey on the plans to collect ideas? Even if most ideas are not useful, you could gauge public support before committing to paying a contractor.
GT is quaint. But the new downtown/city center has become Camana Bay (like it or not).
GT is filled with faux-looking colonial buildings, and Soviet-era concrete/glass blocks (sorry One Capital Place….and Deloitte).
Downtown needs a refresh, but I don’t think will happen.
Well, there goes the last remnants of Caymanian Authenticity that I loved 34 years ago as visitor. Since then, all was lost to Liquor stores, Freeports, t-shirts and Jimmy Buffets theme (I do like his songs, but prefer ‘The Tradewinds.’
Now we are full-on a tourist trap. Sigh…
Hopefully I will be mistaken
A proper boardwalk with Mature trees should be placed along the whole downtown Harbour front. It is ugly and boiling hot now. As much as I don’t like cruise tourism I look at them all lined up and feel sorry for them. As well for us locals it would be a huge improvement and add beauty and functionality to the whole waterfront downtown. I can’t believe that is not on this plan. So simple.
There used to be trees there. They took them all down 😕
I agree with you. Lots of lovely native trees should be used throughout town. They were all removed over the years. Their shade is cooler than any man-made shade structure could be.
This is the cart before the horse. Clean up the infrastructure then you need parking, parking and more parking. Who will come downtown if there is no place to park? I can go elsewhere to buy t shirts or jewelry. Too much hassle.
Not many trees can take the severe salt water soaking that hits Hog Stye in every big storm. Date palms can.
Many local shade trees can take it.
The Dump is causing significant risk to the public health and safety, therefore all projects must be put on hold and national emergency declared.
First thing that needs to happen in central GT is connecting it to the main sewer. Start from the ground up instead sticking pretty Bandaids on above ground stuff. But alas, this will be like the dump, uhmmmd and ahhhhd about for decades until it literally blows up in everyone’s face.
Best comment here. GT will always be third world without a public sewer system.Pooping down a deep well 100 yards from the ocean just doesn’t work. Bayshore Mall has the only decent wastewater treatment system. I have seen most of the others and they are inadequate.
The dump is a tragedy we see every day.
What tragedy very few see and are aware of is the wastewater treatment plant which is now loaded way past operational capacity. Simply put, a plant designed for treating 2 million gallons a day now receives 3 million gallons a day. (I do not know exact numbers, but do know the plant is well past design capacity, just trying to make it easier to comprehend) Water passing through the plant can not be treated for the sufficient time and all that improperly treated water ends up in North Sound.
Cayman needs a WWT plant upgrade along with a public sewer in GT.
BS, and more BS. Unity clowns no clutching at straws. Throw in the kitchen sink while you’re at it. This like the sign at Mango Tree that reads “Free Beer Tomorrow”.
Quick, make it look like we are doing something…..
