Report on the Flooding Problem in the Bay St. and Dowdeswell St. Area, New Providence, Bahamas

Introduction

Flooding is a persistent problem in the Bay Street and Dowdeswell Street areas of New Providence, Bahamas. This situation is especially challenging because both streets are crucial arteries for business, tourism, and daily commuting in Nassau, the island’s capital. Every time it rains, even during relatively mild weather, significant flooding occurs, disrupting business activities, inconveniencing pedestrians and drivers, and sometimes causing damage to vehicles and infrastructure. This report will provide an in-depth analysis of the issue, explore the reasons behind the recurring flooding, and propose solutions that could mitigate or even resolve the problem in the long term.

Pinewood Gardens: A Waterlogged Nightmare and Potential Solutions

Introduction: The Origins of Pinewood Gardens

Pinewood Gardens, located in New Providence, Bahamas, is a residential community established in 1972 by Pinewood Gardens Ltd. It was purchased in liquidation in 1983 by Arawak Homes Ltd. Initially, it was developed to provide affordable housing for Bahamians, targeting middle- and lower-income families looking to invest in homeownership. At the time of its development, New Providence was experiencing significant growth, and many Bahamians sought to own land amidst the island’s expanding suburban landscape. Pinewood Gardens appeared to be an ideal solution—an area that would allow families to settle into homes away from the increasingly crowded capital of Nassau.

However, the development of Pinewood Gardens was not without controversy. Questions arose over the suitability of the land for residential purposes. Over the years, this community has faced persistent and severe flooding problems, exacerbating concerns about the land's conditions and whether it was ever appropriate for residential development in the first place.

Report on Vehicular Traffic Congestion in Nassau, Bahamas

Report on Vehicular Traffic Congestion in Nassau, Bahamas

Introduction

Vehicular traffic congestion in Nassau, Bahamas, has reached critical levels, particularly during peak hours. The roads become heavily congested at three major times of the day: the morning commute around 9 a.m. when residents travel to work and school, the afternoon period around 3 p.m. when schools dismiss and parents pick up their children, and the early evening rush hour around 5 p.m. when the workday ends. The continuous importation of vehicles into the country exacerbates this problem, leading to increasingly severe traffic jams on the island’s streets.

Years ago, Nassau underwent significant road improvements and the construction of new roads intended to alleviate traffic congestion. While these initiatives were initially effective, the rapid growth in the number of vehicles and urban development has since outpaced these improvements. Today, Nassau faces a more severe traffic situation, characterized by long delays, increased travel times, and heightened frustration among drivers.

This report aims to explore the causes of Nassau's traffic congestion, examine the consequences, and propose potential solutions to alleviate the problem. It will also consider how improved traffic flow could benefit Nassau in both the short and long term.
