Flooding could come with park

THE EDITOR: The ongoing construction of a park opposite West Mall along the Western Main Road is a development to be welcomed. However, now that the entire piece of land has been denuded, the run-off of water will be great.

It is clear to the casual observer that this newly denuded acreage slopes downwards towards the main road. If proper drainage is not put in place now, that entire stretch from the Flyover in Cocorite to the Diego Martin River will become a full blown river in the rainy season during heavy downpours.

The Western Main Road will become a natural water course to the detriment of businesses in the area and the travelling public.
