Dear Editor,

I completely understand and sympathize with the people of Ebony Street in Belize City who were bombarded with dust from heavy traffic when their street was used as an alternate route. I hope their problem has been solved.

We at San Antonio Road in Orange Walk Town have been living in this condition for two long years. The only reprieve we got was the long rainy season. Bad for the cane farmers, but good for us.

There are many important businesses along this main street/road, and I know tax contribution is major from these enterprises. I fail to see a reason why we have been left in the dust for so long. Our health and business machines have deteriorated.

They say we will soon have a concrete road. Let’s see how soon that will be, because, for too long we have suffered.

Regards,
Romel Cuello
