The Royal Bahama Police Force has announced a number of road closures that will come into effect on Monday, January 1, 2024 as final preparations are being made for the much anticipated New Year’s Day Junkanoo Parade.
The RBPF, in partnership with the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture (MYSC), the National Junkanoo Committee (NJC) and the Grand Bahama Junkanoo Corporation (GBJC), are pulling out all the stops to ensure that the 2024 Parade is a safe one.
Superintendent of Police Christopher Farquharson, Officer in Charge of the Traffic Division, revealed that road closures in the downtown area will begin at 2:00pm at a number of intersections, including The Mall Drive and Pioneer’s Way; West Atlantic Drive and Pioneer’s Way.
The additional closures taking place at 3:00pm Monday, January 1 until 12:00am Tuesday, January 2, 2024 are at West Mall Drive and Petticoat Lane, Adventure’s Way and West Mall Drive, Adventure’s Way and McKenzie Street, East Atlantic Drive and Pioneer’s Way and East Mall Drive and Kipling Lane.
Superintendent Farquharson further advised motorists to drive with due care and attention, remain within the speed limit and pay attention to the police officers posted at barricaded intersections.
Chief Superintendent Advardo Dames, Sr., Officer in charge of the Central Division, advised the members of the public that the area surrounding the Junkanoo Parade will be designated a no-bottle zone for public safety.
“We want to send out a clarion and strong message to individuals who may feel fit that they will come to cause a disturbance. We want to discourage anti-social behavior.
There will be full police presence in uniform and plain clothes in and throughout the Junkanoo Parade routes and on the outside,” he said.
Stressing that the police has a zero-tolerance approach to misbehavior as it will be a family-oriented event, Chief Superintendent Dames is also asking parents and guardians to be aware of the whereabouts of their young children at all times.
MYSC Senior Cultural Officer Monique Leary thanked the RBPF for their usual assistance in maintaining public safety during the parades.

Downtown flood remediation starts this week
Mon, Oct 2nd 2023, 09:06 AM
The Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation's Downtown Revitalization Project will begin the first stages of flood remediation in the city this week, with the clearing of debris from the main culverts in order to increase water flow through the drainage system, the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that this phase will take more than one month to complete, and the work is a collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works and the Water and Sewerage Corporation.
"The Downtown Revitalization Project seeks to restore vitality and charm to the city of Nassau by increasing functionality, improving the city's aesthetics and creating sustainable practices to enhance the overall downtown experience for visitors and residents alike," the statement said.
"A technical team along with the Ministry of Works have begun investigating the longstanding flooding issues and is in the preliminary stage of finding a permanent solution that would remedy extreme flooding in the downtown area."
Ministry of Tourism Global Relations Consultant Senator Randy Rolle, who leads the Downtown Revitalization Project, said that the flooding remediation is a long-term goal, especially given that they have identified "a lot of blockages".
"We understand that this is a short-term fix, and it may give us temporary relief," said Rolle.
He added: "Resolving the issue of flooding in the downtown area over the long term requires substantial changes to the infrastructure and is a matter that we have to work closely with the experts to resolve.
"This matter will be addressed by the deputy prime minister and his ministerial colleague in public works for a permanent, long-term solution.
"But in the interim, we're happy that the works currently being undertaken should bring some small relief."
According to the statement, the remediation work will begin with Dowdeswell Street, School Lane, Victoria Street and East Bay Street to remediate the blockage issue to alleviate flooding downtown.
The statement said once the culverts are cleared, they will undergo quarterly cleanings moving forward.
