Dear Editor,
I’m writing this letter before any unfortunate event takes place, like someone being hit by a 2x4, because afterwards all we can do is lament.
I am seeing construction debris sitting unprotected, but in neat piles next to construction sites on the island, even though we are already into Hurricane Season.
Don’t the owners/site managers realize that gale force winds don’t care about their neat piles, but will pick off the plywood full of nails, the 2x4s, the tiles etc., one by one and turn them into dangerous weapons?
I hope we are doing more than asking people to clean up their sites. This is an urgent matter of public safety and laws need to be in place and strictly enforced – now, before it’s too late.
