    this is a great improvement for negril but it doesn't really look wide enough to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians.

    I just drove past it this morning, up by the Beach Park near the bridge just before the round-about, and it is a very wide sidewalk, for sure can accommodate both

    It's about time! Big up those who made this happen!

    It must be the camera angle and lack of perspective, you could easily drive a car (and the backhoes being used to create it) down it. It is quite wide

    I didnt measure it, but it is about 12 to 15 feet across, which is about 2 to 3 times the average width of sidewalks in North America.

    In the picture, my car was parked in the space off the road and there was room on either side of the vehicle. The sidewalk is wider than that is...

    And in case anyone is curious, Dr. McNeil states that "These plans, in essence call for the putting in of physical infrastructure, namely sidewalks with jogging and cycle tracks adequately lit and landscaped which would in turn encourage tourists to use and enjoy."

    So not only are they wide enough, they will be well lit....
