Port-of-Spain May­or Chin­ua Al­leyne con­firmed that 24 ve­hi­cles were wrecked yes­ter­day, as en­force­ment re­sumed across the cap­i­tal’s busi­ness dis­trict.

Al­leyne said the ini­tia­tive is a joint ef­fort be­tween the TTPS POS Di­vi­sion and the City, re­spond­ing to com­plaints from the PTSC, Fire Ser­vice and taxi as­so­ci­a­tions about in­dis­crim­i­nate park­ing that ob­structs bus­es, emer­gency ve­hi­cles and taxi stands.

“Of­ten, bus­es and emer­gency ve­hi­cles have dif­fi­cul­ty tra­vers­ing the city cen­tre, and many of our taxi stands have turned in­to park­ing lots.
