Have any alternative solutions ever been looked at for the roads? It seems that the traditional method of sand/gravel/limestone does not fair up well to the varying weather the island is exposed to. There are solutions out there that would pay for themselves many times over, in terms of savings on the ongoing maintenance costs.

To build a proper non-sealed road with sand/limestone, you need a well graded material to ensure their is small size particles to act as binder for the larger particles. Problem is this "fines" wash away during rainy season. What they need to do is stabilize the fines with an ionic solution. This will hold the road together for +15 years.

The road in front of Reef Village is now the responsibility of the Reef Village Homeowners Association.

We were preparing the road for grading by the theater but will wait until this storm passes and the water table recedes. Otherwise all our work, time and money would have been for nothing.

The grader will be out as soon as the soil is dry enough. If you want it can carry north as far as Las Terazzas.

If we can get a 75% response rate from the residents between the bridge and Las Terazzas, we can lower the cost of grading to $2 belize per foot. This would be based on your frontage.
We feel this is a fair price and will compensate for any gaps such as empty lots and absentee owners.

So for example if your property frontage is 50 feet on the roadside your contribution would be 50 x $2 = $100bz.

This price includes fuel, operator, sideman, and all taxes and surcharges which is a very good deal. Everyone who uses the North road should contribute.

How much is your comfort worth? your back? the repairs on your golf cart? muddy shoes and clothes, your time, not to mention response time for emergency services. Think about it. I'll be around shortly.

The road in front of Reef Village is NOT now or has it ever been the responsibility of the Reef Village Homeowners Association . The company/developer who built it is responsible for it's condition . It is NOT a part of the parcel of land that the Homeowners association oversees. According to the S.P.T.C. it is a trail and not their problem , so the Paradise Theater and the owners of the large open commercial lot and the other owners who's property fronts this trail can ALL pitch in to get several bids to have this filled with proper aggregate as a base ,to a proper elevation so the rain water has some place to drain.Get the facts correct this trail is NOT the responsibility of the Reef Village Homeowners Association , period!!!

Sounds like a better deal! Stand up guy! This was posted by SF Jeff at the beginning of the thread. This is a kind gesture for all. A good reason to patronize his business! Azul Resort.
