Operatives of the Lagos Central Business Districts have dislodged vehicles and traders parked on the Carter bridge in line with the vacation order issued by the Lagos State government to vehicle owners and traders to quit parking on Carter bridge and all other bridges across the state.

Reacting to the removal exercise, the Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Central Business Districts, Mrs Bola Olumegbon Lawal noted that the dislodgement of traders and vehicles parked on the bridge which have positively impacted on the traffic situations within the axis will also restore order on the roads and enhance the well-being of commuters doing business on the island business district.

Mrs Olumegbon Lawal said "CBD will not tolerate the practice of commercial drivers using the end of the Carter and Apongbon bridges as their loading bay for passengers and traders displaying their wares for sales, this not only affect the free flow of traffic for other vehicles trying to access the bridge to other parts of the state from the Island but endangers the structural stability of the bridge".

"CBD with other traffic managers and security agencies will intensify the restriction of parking and loading as well as trading on the bridge which has freed up the roads to other users within the axis". The Special Adviser said further.

Mrs Olumegbon Lawal warns other vehicle owners and traders to stop parking and trading on all the bridges across the Lagos island business district as defaulters will have their vehicles or goods seized and face the full wrath of the law.

Meanwhile, the agency has intensified the clearing of illegal make shift shops and iron kiosks erected on walkways and drainage allignment within the Island business district.

The clean up exercise which started last week has started yieding positive results as the business district have started experiencing a cleaner and serene environment.
