The Mayor and City Council yesterday began relocating stalls from the Bourda Street carriageway to the western pavement in order to facilitate road repairs, which may result in vendors suspending their operations for a few weeks.
“Vendors have agreed that during the period they would not work because we had initially proposed to them that we were going to close off a portion of Regent Street from Orange Walk to Bourda Street and allow them to operate and they’ve agreed that instead of doing that, they prefer to close up until we’re finished with the road,” Town Clerk Royston King related on site yesterday.
King added that if vendors are still desirous of plying their trade during the period the repairs will be done, they have been given permission to vend on a portion of the Merriman Mall.
