PROJECTS UNDER WAY TO UNIFY DOCKSIDE MALLS

July 2, 2001 – Shoppers going to Havensight Mall and/or Port of $ale Mall will find that some things aren't where they used to be, and some things aren't to be seen at all any more. And that, according to the July WICO News bulletin, is all for the better.
A new entrance and exit intended to change the flow of traffic is one of the moves being undertaken to unify the the two adjacent malls along the West Indian Co. docks, the newsletter reported.
Other updates include extending a sidewalk, providing a few additional parking spaces and relocating some fencing.
Meanwhile, the burial of power, telephone and cable television lines has been completed within the WICO complex, with a few remaining power poles to be removed. As a result, "In the event of a general emergency affecting power supply, such as major weather-related damage, down time before restoration of service now would be minimal," the newsletter stated.
