In an effort to minimize the amount of criminal activities, and to ease the amount of traffic in flowing through city of Roseau, the police have stepped up their game by developing a National Security plan during the Independence Reunion Season.

The plan includes barricading some streets during the World Creole Music Festival and Creole in the Park.

Accordingly to the police, there will be a low tolerance for non-compliance with traffic laws and there is a strong chance that person’s vehicles will be towed. With some 27,000 licensed drivers, 19,000 licensed motor vehicles – and with about 6000 vehicles crossing through Roseau daily could cause some serious problems.

Dominica Grammar School court, the Newtown Savannah, Lindo Park and Pottersville Savannah will be used for parking at a small fee – with police patrol to unsure safety.

IMPORTANT: On the evenings of the Creole Festival (Oct 31st- Nov 2nd), there will be no parking on Valley Road on either side from the junction of Bath Road, to the Bath Estate Bridge. Residents of River Street will be allowed to park on River Street and will be issued a national pass to River Street motorists to identify them. Also there will be no parking on either sides of Independence Street from the E.C Loblack Bridge to Kennedy Avenue, Cork Street and from the junction of Bath Road to Great George Street.

During Creole in the Park (Oct 27 – Oct 30) arrangements have been made so that parents picking up their children from school can park in Botanic Gardens from 12:30 to 2:30pm.

Besides all the damages done to Dominica’s coastline by Hurricane Omar, the 2008 Tourist Season opened today (October 25th) as schedule. A week ago most people was skeptical whether or not the local authorities would be able to get the Roseau Cruise Ship Berth repaired in time to welcome the Emerald Princess - the ship of the season. But after lots of collaborative work by the Discover Dominica Authority and the Dominica Sea/Port Authority the Emerald Princess was able to dock safely, and hundreds of visitors were able to enjoy a the perfect tropical day. What a great day it was to welcome the new tourist season.

A heartfelt thanks to all guys at the Discover Dominica and the Dominica Sea/Port Authority who made a special effort to have everything ready, especially after all damages done by hurricane Omar. Thanks!!!
