Dear Editor,
Years ago, when the Georgetown City Council was a well run organization under the likes of great and honest Town Clerks E. A. Adams and Elmo Mayers, City Treasurers Cyril Ramalho and Patrick Robinson and City Engineer Weihgan Young, the City Engineer’s Department had primary responsibility for the maintenance of all streets and municipal parking lots under the jurisdiction of the Capital City.
The Council’s road maintenance and park’s section’s responsibility included but were not limited to:
· Pothole Repairs
· Paved Surface maintenance
· Dirt road maintenance
· Street sweeping
· Alley grading
· Tree limbs overhanging to streets or sidewalks
· Trees and shrubbery in median islands
· Repair of missing or damaged street names signs or other informational signs (not traffic control signs)
· Reports of street light problems (not traffic signal malfunctions)
Indeed there was an officer that was specially delegated to go around each night and identify which street lights were working and which were not so that they could be reported to the Guyana Power Company to be fixed or replaced. What has happened to all of this? All of these proper systems and structures have been cast aside and replaced with nothing. We do not see the City involved in any road building or maintenance, but they seem to be waiting for central government to carry out this task of theirs, and for which property owners are paying their taxes for.
