Road in poor state of repair hampers
transportation
NUEVA GERONA, Cuba, February (Carlos Serpa
Maceira, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Residents
of La Demajagua, a town in the Isle of Youth,
complain that the main thoroughfare in town
has been unusable for the last 9 months,
making access to the many homes along the
road difficult and life in general inconvenient.
"Local officials say the potholes
have not been repaired for lack of materials,"
said local resident Rosendo Mustelier.
About 500 meters of Ninth Street's 8-block
length need repairs. Authorities actually
started the work, but promptly stopped.
The local bus drivers have refused to drive
down the street.
"In the Isle of Youth, it is typical
that streets not be repaired," said
Mustelier. "There are roads in the
capital, Nueva Gerona, as well as in other
towns, with known problems that the government
doesn't address."
