Bourda Market expansion among plans being considered to curb street vending

In an effort to reduce street vending, plans are being mulled by the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) to house vendors under a roof.

Stabroek News has learned that the M&CC is planning to extend the Stabroek Bazaar and the New Vendors Mall by adding another storey.

Also being considered is the addition of another storey to the Bourda Market.  The “fly-over,” as M&CC Public Relations Officer Debra Lewis called it, would allow buyers to shop from one end to the next without having to go through the hassle of passing through the lower flat.
