After several attempts were made to accomplish this task, a 20- member committee comprising a cross section of the community was recently formed, chaired by CC Traffic Chairman Edwardo Reyes Sr.

    CC Village Council Chairman Alberto Villanueva Jr. told The San Pedro Sun, "This type of action is essential to the needs of a growing community, especially when making reports to the police or fire departments."

    Mr. Villanueva stated that members of the CC Traffic Committee would assist Village Council workers in the installation of the signs as soon as they are finished. He further explained that the street names are primarily in Spanish since this was the first language of the island and one that Hicaqueños (Caye Caulker residents) are trying to preserve.

    The following information contains a local (familiar) description of each designated location, the new street name, and a brief explanation of the reason behind the name.
