Vendors and their Shacks Successfully Removed from Nevis Pier
All vendors and their shacks have been removed from the Nevis Pier following a written notice that mandated the removal of all structures and debris from the Ryan property.
The deadline for this cleanup was set for April 4th, and it appears that compliance has been met.
The transformation has left the area much more inviting for tourists and locals alike, with the absence of the former makeshift stalls creating a clearer view of the waterfront.
Additionally, the private parking lot adjacent to the pier has been barricaded to prevent any repeat of the unsightly illegal vending that previously took place.
There is also a need for similar initiatives in St. Johns, where the surroundings have been described as resembling a “ghetto village” rather than the modern city it aspires to be.
