Progress is a little ahead of its self with the garbage collection. We've never had garbage service before the road and don't have now but now that we have a road I got a hand delivered bill from the Town Board for the year of 2015 at 75. per month totaling $525.00.
We currently have a private service that we pay 100. per month to have the garbage picked up by boat from the end of the dock twice a week.

Work continues on North Ambergris Caye Road
Work on the second phase of the North Ambergris Caye road commenced about a month ago and it is to comprise of four miles of cemented road. The project was expected to last three months, depending on the weather. In the first weeks, the road has been widened, extended, filled with layers of hardcore material and compacted. The work is being done by Romel Burgess Construction and aims at improving the tourism fabric on the island. This second phase comes with an estimated cost of $4 million and is being financed by the Government of Belize (GOB) in coordination with the San Pedro Town Council (SPTC). According to Deputy Mayor, Gary Greif, the project will not just boost tourism but also add more traffic on the north part of the island, benefiting the north business community on a whole. "The first direct benefit of this infrastructure development will be for the golf cart rentals and the people that sell fuel. As the road becomes more accessible, more people will drive up north, thus increasing the consumption of fuel." He also touched on the impact it will have on tourism. "It will also definitely boost the economy of the island as there will be better accessibility to the northern hotels. Visitors and residents alike will see the benefits. If a guest wants to come to downtown San Pedro they will not have to worry about a bumpy ride to town because the road will be in excellent condition. In turn, town businesses get a boost as well," said Greif. Even though the project is slated for just seven miles, the Central Government has plans to extend the pavement up to Basil Jones area where lots have been subdivided and given to residents of San Pedro.

With all due respect, penalize the masses for the actions of a few. For me, a nice flat smooth road is how it should be. Put law inforcers along the way and ticket the hell out of the speeders. It creates employment and gives the majority a nice smooth road. Most golf carts don't go faster than 15 TO 20 MPH. Ticket the crap outta the rest. Make the ticket COSTLY.

Champ - I would totally agree - however - the police do not even have ticket books now. The Mayor says you can't ticket unless a speed limit is posted. I suggested we have school kids makes some signs and he said 'no way'.

Harriette.. Try this on the Mayor.. The forum members will pay for the signs if he will put them up... Have him give you the layout of the sign and the material and I'll personally see that it gets done. Not kidding...

At least it gives you a way to see what his next excuse is.

They have radar guns but no underlying law allowing their use. You may post all the signs you wish but without the means of enforcement they are useless...
