EDITOR, The Tribune.

Today I mount my hobby horse, again – about street names.

I agree that the four-lane, well-lit JFK highway should be extended – all the way to Clifton. Right now, that portion of West Bay Street that runs from Old Fort all the way to Lyford Cay is narrow and totally lacking streetlights. At night, it is dangerous.

Windsor Road (it is not Windsor FIELD Road) is also in need of four lanes.

When one talks about new roads, it is important to know exactly where they would start and exactly where they would finish.

Long before Windsor Field was reactivated, Joseph Garfunkel built Coral Harbour Road, to connect his Coral Harbour development to Nassau, via what is now JFK, thereby creating a crossroad with Adelaide Road.

Mario Carey’s suggestion for “a highway to prosperity” makes a lot of sense, but he confuses me about its heading southwest, to connect with Carmichael Road. In that direction a road would join Adelaide Road or Southwest Bay Road.

Changing names of roads should not be arbitrary, it should be done officially, as government did when renaming Harrold Road to Tonique Williams Darling Highway.

A highway to prosperity should be appropriately named.
