Thank you for putting out these lovely content showing the development of ST Thomas Road way. Your safety is a priority, so please make sure you car is Road worthy especially when you’re driving on wet roads. The reason why your car aqua-plain was because your tires tread are at their minimum level, thus preventing traction when driving through puddles at speed, you can check your tyre thread depth by using your finger tips to feel if the line between the threads are level with the portion of the tyre that’s making contact with the road surface. If this is the case you will need to replace them with matching sets so that they can disperse the water evenly without the vehicle looking traction. Hope this tip helps, looking forward to viewing more great content from you. Be safe and 🙏🏾 up your self.

It still have to connect to Port Antonio inner St Thomas, etc. Also the Good Year lands development. Recently in relation to the Logistic Hub, there was talk of a port to be constructed in the Cow Bay area - that' more added development as well. Things are looking up.

This is a good first start. We just need proper town development, so that people don't put up structures willy-nilly. That would lead to chaos, like in other parts of the country. They need to finish the road and put up signs and mark the lanes correctly. Then they can start selling lots along the road for all kinds of business and housing schemes. But the key is to make everything affordable and make the place more livable, by having landscaping, sidewalks and rules to prevent unfinished development or development that doesn't jive with the general character of the community. Jamaica can thrive!
