St. John’s is set to undergo significant transformation, with the government addressing multiple urban issues simultaneously.
During a recent interview with ABS, Rawdon Turner, the Minister of Social and Urban Transformation, shared plans to tackle street vending, waste management, and derelict buildings as part of a comprehensive urban overhaul.
Turner’s strategy includes creating designated areas for street vendors, reducing sidewalk congestion and improving access for pedestrians. He also highlighted the importance of better waste management, with stricter enforcement on business waste disposal times.
Additionally, Turner revealed plans to repurpose vacant and neglected plots into green spaces, offering residents recreational areas and contributing to the beautification of the urban landscape.
“This transformation will make St. John’s not only more organised but more pleasant for all to enjoy,” Turner said during the interview.

I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve made promises like this before.
I dont know but something about Turner makes me want to have faith in him
Maybe they can turn some of those abandoned buildings into something useful like shops or housing.
what’s the actual plan? Details, please!
I think St. John’s needs new life — better public spaces, more places for families, real development.
How many times are they going to speak on that but take no action on it
they ALREADY STARTED by removing vendors from crowding the streets and relocating them!
Removing vendors is a low hanging fruit.
Where is the comprehensive Redevelopnent plan for stakeholders to review and comment.
The Government is going to turn empty lots into green spaces. Does the Government own these lots? And who is going to maintain these so called green soace lots ?
