Sidewalks on Main Streets in Jamaican Small Towns

[Tropicana]

How come they are so high and uneven? Why were they designed that way? It is very impractical for walking.

[My Looh]

High for drainage.

Uneven because there are no funds for repairs and upkeep.

Clearly it ain't working.

How do high sidewalks promote drainage?

Uneven because there are no funds for repairs and upkeep.

That's for sure. The roads and sidewalks mash up BAD!

I had a dream on Good Friday that I was driving along a road FILLED with potholes. I was a passenger. I said "Oh my gosh look at all those potholes." When I woke up I told my Mom the dream. Thought it was a warning to drive carefully. Little did I know it was prophetic and meant I would have to take an unexpected trip to Jamaica. It is JUST like the dream.
