Marsh Harbour to Have More Traffic Lights
By Stephanie Humblestone

Central Abaco District Council in conjunction with the Ministry of Works in Nassau is currently making plans to improve road safety in central Abaco. According to Councilor Mike Malone, a working team and materials are being sent from Nassau to add road name signs, signs indicating dangerous curves, center line stripes and turning arrows.

"We have purchased a street marking machine and have all the paint so we are ready to go," said Mr. Malone, who is eagerly awaiting assistance from Nassau. He envisages that the project will be completed within six months.

Six more stop lights will be installed in Marsh Harbour where there is presently only one. They will be in the following places: at S.C. Bootle Highway and Don MacKay Boulevard (Abaco Wholesale), Crockett Drive and Don MacKay Boulevard (K & S Auto Service), Crockett Drive and Forest Drive, South Side and Forest Drive (Tall Pines Shell Station), S.C. Bootle and South Side (Kipco's Corner), Bay Street and Queen Elizabeth Drive (Sandy's Corner).
