CABINET NOTES: The Minister Responsible for Urban Development and St. John’s Development Corporation (SJDC) has been successful at winning the cooperation of vendors to move into the Public Market and other places, away from sidewalks in and around the St. John’s Fruit and Vegetable Market.
Both pedestrians and vehicular traffic are able to move in and around the crowded space free of clutter on the sidewalks.
A further plan is afoot to remove the fence around the Fisheries Market in order to enable easier contact with foot traffic on Lower Valley Road west of the VC Bird bust. 45 minute parking permits are going to be instituted to allow for shopping within the market complex.
On Saturdays only, the Lower All Saints Road traffic, east of the VC Bird bust all the way up to Vivian Richards Street, will be closed off to foot traffic only until 12:00 noon. Vendors will be permitted to sell their wares and produce on the sidewalks on Saturdays.
