3 rd lane for Cabarete Highway !!!

[sokitoumi]

lol I didnt realise I was reading an old thread when i was reading that cabarete was nicely tarmacked and the traffice was moving too fast now......

[Rocky]

Is there any more likelihood that the side road through the swamp will be built now than there was before?

At least it was a post election "promise", which gives one more hope, than a pre-election "promise".

Was told that if suppliers agreed to deliver their goods from 4-6am or from 11-1am there would not be the present traffic jam. But it would require all businesses to agree on a schedule such as that.

i listened to part of leonel's speech on saturday (yes, i am a freak ) and i have noticed a lot "en ciudad de santo domingo" and very little about his plans for other cities in DR...

Sound like a lot of promises/money/construction to me, i wonder how any of those promises will be fulfill, i will be happy if he complete the one for the Cibao region

Yes, I'd be interested to know where the roads would join up, east and west, and also where that roundabout would be. In trying to compare the present map with the proposed plans, it looks as though it could be slap bang where my church, El Buen Samaritano, is in Callejon de la Lomas. If anyone can throw any light on this, I'd be very keen to know.

The comments in that article are ridiculous.

They are correct, high density development does affect local weather patterns creating the city-island heat effect and such, but have anyone of them ever seen how small Cabarete actually is?

A few high rises here and there will NOT be enough to cause the devastating effects to the winds as some are claiming. A wall of highrises like those along Anacaona Avenue in SDQ might do the trick, a relatively large area filled with highrises and development like in the Poligono Central of SDQ might do the trick, more gated communities of villas and homes in the Cabarete vicinity might do the trick; a few high rise buildings here and there will not do the trick.

A few highrises doesn't equates to square kilometers upon square kilometers of development.

Or am I wrong?
