Summary
The primary objective of the New Providence Transport Program (NPTP) was to provide road users a more rational and efficient transport system to reduce transportation costs to its users. The inordinate congestion suffered within the highly urbanized area of New Providence was to be alleviated by expanding the existing road network, strengthening the institutional framework responsible for the provision of transportation services, improving road safety, and reducing the negative environmental impacts associated with the existing traffic congestion levels. Remediation efforts to offset these negative impacts were concentrated in a singular site of high significance to the community, rather than multiple dispersed sites. The efforts culminated in an environmental restoration of a 181 acre park to the benefit of the public.
