And one resident asked about the possible traffic congestion that might be caused specifically in the Port Loyola area and then in Belize City on a whole if tourists start coming in through the port. It would make an already congested area worse. But consultant Dionne Chamberlain explained the proposed solution for that problem.

"The congestion in terms of the streets will be alleviated in terms of Belize City, based on the fact that we are doing a dual carriage way from Jane Usher Boulevard all the way through to the Western Highway. So instead of congestion on Neal Pen Road and in areas like Faber's Road, straight from the cruise port, the busses will be able to head up Jane Usher Boulevard via the dual carriage and will not affect traffic or congestion within the city streets. Once we are back to normal from covid and children start taken back to school, so the reality is that is where the congestion will be alleviated and then they can either head out on George Price Highway or go down Chetumal Street and go off into the northern area on Phillip Goldson Highway."
