Diego Martin Mayor Akeliah Glasgow-Warner is raising concerns over severe traffic disruption and indiscriminate parking caused by a large-scale medical outreach initiative in Cocorite.
The initiative, spearheaded by Hands International in collaboration with the Community Hospital of Seventh-day Adventists, has attracted hundreds of patients seeking cataract procedures and other medical services since last weekend, resulting in heavy congestion along the Western Main Road and sections of the Diego Martin Highway for several hours.
While commending the organisers for providing critical healthcare assistance to the public, Glasgow-Warner said the absence of proper communication and traffic coordination created major challenges for residents and motorists throughout the region.
