Although
it is not the first time the subject has been approached, the San Pedro Town
Council is again "testing the waters" regarding the controversial construction
of a bridge to connect North and South Ambergris Caye. Strictly in the
preliminary phase of this concept, San Pedro Town Administrator Alberto
Villanueva stated to the San Pedro Sun that
"without a doubt" the SPTC will conduct public consultations before making ANY
decision on how they will proceed with this project. It
would appear that our very independent town council is acting autonomously in
this, as government funding has not been requested thus far. During this
"feasibility stage," the town council has received the first of several sketches
which will include various designs and financial estimates for the project,
should it be undertaken. Two concepts have already been submitted by Usher and
Associates, and Jerry McDermott.
It has not yet been determined what type of traffic (golf cart
or larger vehicle), is being proposed for the bridge. It was stated there has
been no coercion by either political or private interest for this project. The
San Pedro Town Council is holding sessions to study the preliminary sketches and
will update the public on their progress from these
meetings.
