LinkSomehow, this doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. I think this is the same character who is building that "14" monstrosity. And he plans to put another beach bar on Mullet??

Would that be the same as deep pockets need filling? I am so very sick of the graft and corruption of this island.

The gentleman in the article is the developer of the twin towers at Mullet. (Project 14). The boardwalk doesn't sound like a hateful idea, it would be unobtrusive of the actual east end of Mullet beach and add a flavor of the beach that existed pre-Luis (liked the picture of the old boardwalk). The beach bar is a little more concerning, but if built on the western end, near the Cliffs, it might have potential.

I figure those who own property at that end of the beach would NOT be happy to have a beach bar there, but I could be wrong.

He is the 14 towers developer. If his objective is to upgrade the immediate area to enhance his project, a great step would be to upgrade the road(lake) thru Mullet Bay….Dave

I am not sure that that "Urban Planning" goes into any development project on Sint Maarten. Development on Sint Maarten reminds me mostly of the wild wild west, if there is land available and money to "grease" the politicians hands than anything is possible.
The only rule that seems applicable is "They that have the money make the rules, and the greater community be damned".

A key part of urban planning is the public interface between the street and a large commercial project like these two towers. The developers have just erected a new concrete wall along the University Drive side of their project. The wall is quite hostile -- and it comes right up to the edge of the street.
If Mr. Teboul really cared about the community, he might have included a new public sidewalk on that side of the street. Maybe even with some flowers or plantings. That would have shown concern for the community.
But a concrete wall at the edge of the lot line? Really? Who approved that? We thought the same thing, walked back from dinner and felt like it was a tunnel! We took the “death trap” sidewalk - just have to really pay attention when it’s dark to miss the holes and not kiss the steps! Sidewalk and plantings would have been lovely but nope - just another fortress to keep people out!

Looks fairly dangerous, from a road standpoint, let alone people walking.

It stands out like a sore thumb.
