In spite of all the recent rains and bad weather, CRIC has managed to clear all the grass/dirt growth encroaching upon the roadway all along Calle Colon and also improve the drainage on the same. Some irritating potholes along that busy thoroughfare are also waiting for better weather conditions in order to be repaired.
The same bad wather has impeded the CRIC's paint crew (namely me and Jenny Jacobs' house manager Orlando Martinez) from repainting the speed bumps and drainage ditches, but that will come to pass, as soon as the weather improves.
CRIC has also managed to start badly needed repair work along Calle Almirante (from Calle Colon past The Anchor to the beach), whose surface has been in pretty bad shape for a long time.
Next on CRIC's list?: Paseo Laguna, hopefully by next week, weather permitting.
Some have already voiced complaints about the new speed bump midway on Calle Central's hill. Comments vary from: "why was it put there?", "do we really need it there?" to "I don't want that there; what's the use?". Well, it has been put there because over the years, there have been many complaints from residents about speeding vehicles/motorcycles along the hill, which obviously represented a threat to the many pedestrians, your own safety and just constitute a disaster waiting to happen, particularly after one takes into consideration all the commercial activities from that stretch to the Main Gate, with more of that coming. Arriving where we are going just a few seconds later is a small price to pay, in exchange for our collective safety.
Special thanks to CRIC's Co-Chairmen Manlio Del Degan and Andy Broersma for their untiring devotion and work ethics.
