Almost there! Kingston’s Mayor shares progress of Water Lane’s pedestrian-only upgrade
Mayor of Kingston Senator Delroy Williams says work on the transformation of sections of the downtown business district, where Water Lane meets East Street, is nearly complete.
Mayor Williams, who shared several updates
on Water Lane’s pedestrianisation, added that in short order, the walk-only thoroughfare
will be accessible to members of the public.
“Final touches being put on our Water Lane
Project. Really can’t wait to show the finished product. #PedestrianizedStreets
#StillBelieving #Kingston,” the mayor tweeted on Wednesday.

The roadway has been stripped and repaved in
an ornate, colourful brick-and-mortar design, which falls in line with the Kingston
and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation’s (KSAMC) drive to rejuvenate the downtown
area.
Kingston’s Mayor has been sharing progress
updates since the start of November when the initiative began.
As promised, we are not “digging up” the road but carrying out our duty with repairs to parochial roads while enhancing the use and aesthetics of the area. — Delroy Williams (@MayorWilliamsJA)
