‘Genesis Boulevard’ to be launched in New Amsterdam

– A recreational facility with Wifi access

Following the recently held Town Week activities in New Amsterdam, profits earned from the activities will allow residents of the town to soon benefit from the ‘Genesis Boulevard’ Project, which will see the construction of a recreational facility aimed at fostering improved relationship within the citizenry.

Mayor of New Amsterdam, Kirt Wynter, said that in addition to the monies earned from Town Week, additional sums will be garnered from donations from benevolent groups and Government Ministries .
At the launch of the Project, Mayor Wynter said that the Boulevard will consist of food booths, along with a playground for children, a ‘kissing’ bridge and a parking lot .
The recreational facility will not only allow families a place for recreation and relaxation, but will also allow an opportunity for persons to mingle with others, while also providing free internet access, compliments of the eGovernment Agency.

The Boulevard which will be located just off the vicinity of the Regional Democratic Complex at Vryman’s Erven, will run parallel to the Republic Road, in an area currently used as a pasture and unofficial dumping site. The Contractor and designer for the Project has been identified as resident of New Amsterdam, Mr. Dwayne Ferdinand of Home Designs.
In addition to the project, the Mayor said, Shoe Lane, one of the many cross streets in the township, will be extended to Angoys Avenue, which is the main thoroughfare for persons living in Mount Sinai, commonly referred to as ‘Cow Dam’. Engineers have already prepared a preliminary estimate and the extension will commence early in the New Year.

However, news of the construction was not met with all praise, as some residents of Shoe Lane felt that the Council should have focused on improving the solid waste disposal system, collection of revenue from default businesses and property owners, overgrown bushes , and poor lightings in the area.
