Mayor of Georgetown, Patricia Chase-Green

“We have until December to relocate the vendors. We cannot wait for a once-a-month meeting to deal with it. We have already completed three months and we would have done nothing in the three months. We have to be more proactive in doing what we have to do and if you can’t do it, I will have to call the administration on board to get it done,” Chase-Green told city councillors.

“The Markets Public Health Committee said they wanted to do a policy so (that) at the end of the three months, we would have been able to do something. The end of the three months is here, and we have done nothing! We are lucky that we were able to have an extension,” she said.

M&CC has no plans for relocated vendors, September 2, 2016, http://guyanachronicle.com/mcc...r-relocated-vendors/

Mayor was extremely quick to implement the parking meter project but seems to have absolutely no plans for the vendors; which is a pressing issues for the individuals to continue with their business and livelihood.

This Patricia chase green should go jump off the kaieteur falls for all I care. Riffraff like this is now Maya.

An excellent idea would be to put the vendors at the Durban park monstrosity that Granger build. It serves no useful purpose, this could be its redemption.

Actually the area should be developed for shopping, with a section for the vendors.  Given that G/T and other areas have now been developed to the south and east, and lack well developed shopping this would work.  The notion that every one must go to the central business district is ridiculous.

Now your notion of dumping vendors in an area which will have little traffic as it isn't a business/shopping destination s reflective of your backward PPP mentality. Why you think that you are a business giant is baffling.

But I agree with you that this is as much of a waste as is Providence.  At least Granger financed this locally so it isn't a foreign exchange burden as is Jagdeo's white elephant.

Guyana does not need another shopping area given its small population. The real estate around the city center is too valuable to allocate to vendors. In fact the median at Bourda would also suffice. It is already in use for fruit and vegetable vending. What is not acceptable is the lawless way in which vendors set up shop in front of tax paying business establishments. This was encouraged under Green.

I can only wonder why you think that a metro area of almost 300k should have every one squeezing into Regent St and a few others.

I see your racism coming through.  Just dump those poor black people any where, so you can laugh at them. And when they kick your racist ass to the curb by ensuring that the PPP loses then you start wailing.

Its that simple.  Create alternate shopping areas which are sorely needed, and design these so that vendors can be incorporated.  If the vendors are dumped in a spot they will return to set up in front of the same stores that you claim are so valuable.

Do you know that even Dominica gets more international cricket than Providence. Check and see when last an international cricket game was played at Provident.  And to think that it was funded by a US$ loan, which means that US$ must be found for debt service.

Not arguing any of your statements dude. Just comparing the two structures. The Providence Stadium gave the impression that much thought went into its design and construction whereas the Durban Park structure gave the impression that it was shoddily put together at the eleventh hour with little consideration for design and construction. That much is obvious.

Here are some photos of the Central Broward Regional Park built in 2007. It was built primarily to attract cricket which has only just concluded some of the IPL matches.

And you are an expert on city planning?   Regent street itself is too big for the small population and is only busy on Saturday. You apparently have not used up your entitlements checks to visit Guyana in the past 23 years else you wouldn't be prattling this nonsense. It is not only regent street but the surrounding area extending from North road to Princess St, and Vlissengen road to Water street.  More and more you are being exposed as a housebound individual who knows very little about Guyana. With regards to your sympathy to pavement vendors, they have a place in society, but not poaching business away from in front of tax paying business establishments or blocking the sidewalks or roads.

I am sure that there are actually sports activities at the Central Broward. Providence is a big and expensive Thirst Park.  And incurs foreign exchange obligations.

I know more about city planning then you obviously do.  Even small capitals like St Georges in Grenada have been dispersing their commercial areas away from the core business district. 

So why should the 300k people who live in, or around G/T all shop in that core business area anchored by Regent St?  People cannot even find places to park.  And traffic is horrendous.  And congestion encourages crime.

Vendors locate their operations where there is foot traffic.  No one goes to a place just to see vendors. While they are in a business location vendors have an opportunity to sell to them. 

In fact the larger Regent St business people will welcome a new commercial area aimed at the south eastern parts of G/T as they will definitely establish outlets in that area.   Are you telling me that some one from Plaisance should go to the Regent St area to shop? 

Given that this commercial district will be new it can then be developed to provide space for vendors without adversely impacting business people.

But you prefer the vendors to clog up Regent St, because they are NOT going to stay at a place where the only thing that they will catch is breeze!

Nah bai. Historically, Negroes always end up in the big cities. That's where they thrive best. Takers do not need to work hard for a living. As The Donald said "there is a lazy trait". PPP has not lost an election. You and your PNC rigged and frigged all your elections through your bullying. We are still waiting for your PNC dominated court system to order a recount. You think they know something? The coolies need to resort to the black people ways of showing their displeasure..minus the burning and looting.

I am not sure why Providence doesn't attract more games but no one can fault the PPP for aspiring to have a world class stadium like other parts of the world. Bourda was old even when I used to go there in the 70's and 80's. Maybe the political climate and crime conditions contribute to the cricket world's dicisions to exclude it from many games. Maybe it is because there are so many countries and only a few test matches during a test series and they have to spread the games in an equitable way. Secondly, almost every venture in Guyana require fx input. Not so long ago, the current government was trying to get an advance from Exxon-Mobil which would have been a terrible idea since it doen't look like there is any oil activity any time soon.

The recount should have been done immediately; perhaps within two days of the election; with all of the political parties' representatives present to witness the recount.

Of note, the difference was less than one percent which, in all countries, requires an immediate recount prior to officially declaring the results and the confirmed elected representatives can then form the government.

According to Carib, Negroes can do no harm. They do not steal, kick down door, burn, loot, maim, murder, choke and rob...They just commit acts of charity to take from the doers and give to the takers. When their criminal acts are reported in the media, he blames the PPP for cultivating criminals. I do not see how you can cultivate an inherited trait.

He's getting a fat check from Granger to write crap on GNI. We should ignore his posts and let him talk to himself.

You are a talker not a doer. Go tell Granger to build your shopping center there and see how it becomes a white elephant like the Durban park stands.  Businesses will shun the area. Apparently you don't know much about Guyana. Business are no longer central, they are scattered throughout the country. Gone are the days when people have to travel to the city to shop, stores are in close proximity on the main road to almost every village in the Demerara area.  

Even back in our days we had a shop that sold haberdasheries, fruits, groceries, bread and cakes, beverages and even some clothes. We used to sell apples and grapes and all kinds of foreign goodies before Burnham ruined Guyana. We even sold kerosene.

But any way the black and mixed population will be just under 50% of the voting age population in 2020, so continue to call us lazy.

Now you are the one who thinks that every one in Guyana must shop on Regent, Robb, Camp, and a few other streets, even though parking is no longer available.

People who know about town planning generally suggest that alternate shopping should be available.   And much emphasis is placed on making these commercial corridors successful by putting in place anchor shopping establishments strong enough to attract people into the area.

Left to folks like you every one from Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten I would be shopping on 5th Ave.

Druggie you problem is that you have a deep felt feeling of inferiority to me, so confuse and contradict yourself.   And also display your gross ignorance, and racism.  You don't know anything about me except that I am black, so I must be on welfare.

Druggie wrapping himself in contradictions and making him look like an ass. 

Do you think that the only people who shop in the central business district of G/T are those who live there?   Then why is it so congested, given that those areas are no longer residential.  Clearly people come from many places, and create traffic congestion and difficulties in finding parking.

.

So if businesses shun that area why will it be attractive to vendors?  If major brands cannot attract customers then why will some women selling panties, or T shirts?

So I say let the vendors stay right there Regent St in front of your family's business. That is why you scream because you fear that developing other commercial corridors will divert business away from where they are located.

OK so folks only buy these goods.  They don't buy clothes, electronics, or other items.  They don't want a range of stores in a location, offering a broad range of options.

Of course people buy many other things than we sold back then. I was just listing the things that we sold before our shelves went bare during the 70's and early 80's. Thankfully our shop was not our only source of income since our father was also a 'pill pusher'. My point was that businesses were always spread across Guyana. Sure, Regent and Water streets were major but never the only places of commerce in Guyana.

On another note, I was surprised on my business trip to Mackenzie in the early 80's how the KSI there was so stocked while the ones in Georgetown were bare. I thought I was in a different country as I have been to Suriname before and it reminded me of the shops there although not as lucrative.

I think the mixed population will not identify with the nigroes. The mixed population will will be doers, not takers. Their coolie genes will tell them to work hard and EARN what you want and need. They are going to be like the latinos in America. Every political party will want their vote. Let's not forget the Amerindians. They will identify with the PPP as they see the PNC shouting "abie on tap now".

You obviously know nothing about Guyana or urban development and planning. Shopping centers are built out of necessity. Currently in Guyana with such a small population, the necessity is just not there. But I will let you have the last word. Go ahead and get jackass Granger to build your shopping center instead of a manufacturing center as this is the vision you have for Guyana, peddling imports.
