The Fiji Roads Authority has acknowledged the lack of proper footpaths in Upper Ragg Avenue and Amputch Street.
This comes after a resident of Namadi Heights raised concerns that there are no proper footpaths in Upper Ragg Avenue for a number of years, despite numerous requests.
FRA’s CEO John Hutchinson says these are a legacy issue going back many years to the Suva City Council and PWD.
He says the FRA is endeavoring to rectify these legacy issues but cannot fix everything overnight.
Hutchinson says FRA’s priority is currently on those areas that do not have any footpaths at all, followed by those with inadequate or improper footpaths.
No timeframe has been set on when the footpaths will be done in Upper Ragg Avenue.
