Minister Jay Ebanks Leads Efforts to Remove Unlawful Barriers on West Bay Road
Assessing Stormwater Management across Grand Cayman.
On Wednesday, June 26, Minister Hon. Jay Ebanks, accompanied by Managing Director Edward Howard of the National Roads Authority (NRA) and the NRA crew, took decisive action to address two critical issues:
1. The removal of unlawful barriers obstructing public access on West Bay Road
2. The assessment of stormwater management needs across various areas.
Minister Ebanks personally oversaw the removal of cones, barriers, and other obstacles unlawfully placed in front of hotels, condominiums and businesses on West Bay Road, ensuring that public access is restored and maintained.
In addition to addressing the barriers on West Bay Road, Minister Ebanks conducted a comprehensive assessment of stormwater management needs in multiple areas, underlining the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and addressing community concerns.
Minister Ebanks emphasized the critical importance of public safety and accessible roads, stating, “.
Accessible, safe, and efficient roads are vital for the well-being of our community. My Ministry leads the National Road Safety Strategy, and addressing these two critical issues—removing unlawful barriers and assessing stormwater management—is essential for public safety. Road Safety, is a community effort—everyone has to do their part. The Ministry and the NRA are dedicated to ensuring our roads remain open and safe for everyone to use.”
Under the leadership of Minister Jay Ebanks, the Ministry of Planning, Agriculture, Housing, Infrastructure, Transport, and Development (PAHITD) and the NRA continue to be dedicated to maintaining public infrastructure and enhancing roadway safety.
Community members are encouraged to report any issues affecting public road access, except those related to NRA-sanctioned road works or improvements. For concerns about public road access, please contact the NRA directly at (345) 946-7780 or email nra@nra.ky .
Together, we can ensure our roads are safe and accessible for everyone.
