Construction for the “safe space” recreational area along the Lamaha Street corridor in Georgetown is advancing and the site may be open for public use by Valentine’s Day.

Stabroek News yesterday visited the site, located between Camp and Parade streets, it observed that a walkway was completed along with asphalted parking lots on both sides of it. Columns have also been erected for the placement of lights. 

Speaking to the Department of Public Information (DPI) last Friday, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill said the area would also have benches, water fountains and a green space.
