The Department of Public Works (DPW) is informing the community of road work that began today, Thursday, December 5, on Seven Flaggs Road on St. Croix.
The contractor--Marco St. Croix Inc.--will be restoring approximately 1000 Linear Feet by 16 feet of the public right-of-way section of the roadway that was washed out by the torrential rainfall. The contractor will be grading the road, installing a new granular fill road based and then paving the roadway with asphalt once the road is stabilized. The road will be super-elevated so that the storm water run-off will flow at the side of the roadway. An earth swale--connected to the existing concrete ditches--will be constructed to divert the storm water runoff from the road. The work is expected to be completed in 14 calendar days.
“We’ve gotten a lot of complaints from residents and so we’ve directed Liberty VI to make extensive restoration repairs to Seven Flaggs Roads as the roadway suffered extensive damages resulting from the ongoing trenching project and the rainy weather that followed,” DPW Commissioner Derek Gabriel said.

Red hook and Bolongo Bay Area please need more than patching.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) permits “public” transit agencies to establish and enforce a No-Show Policy. U.S. DOT reg 49CFR 37.125 (h) No-Shows and Late Cancellations result in wasted trips which adversely impacts the effectiveness of service and add to the cost of providing ADA paratransit service. No-Shows are recorded each time a paratransit customer makes a late cancellation, forgets to cancel, declines the trip at the door or is not available for pick-up for the scheduled trip. Trip cancellation must be at least one hour before the scheduled pick-up.
Effectively, immediately No-Shows/Late Cancellations will be billed $4.00 for the trip. Payment must be received by the next trip or prior to, or else the client’s service will be suspended. Customers will receive a receipt for a No-Show/Late Cancellation identifying the trip location, date, and time. ... See MoreSee Less
