In connection with the very busy Christmas season and the many shoppers walking in the streets of Philipsburg, the following measures will be taken with regards to the safety of the shoppers and a better flow of motorized traffic:
On Thursday December 24th and Thursday December 31st the section of Front street between Sea Palace and Emmaplein and Back street between Emmaplein and the Kadaster ( Last Bus stop) will be closed off to all motorized traffic.
These streets will be closed from 07.00 a.m. untill closing. All persons who are using public transportation will be able to catch a bus or a taxi on the Cannegieterstreet or the Walter Nisbeth road ( Pondfill road).
In connection with these temporary traffic measures and due to the fact that Philipsburg has limited parking, ONLY that piece of property behind of Kitty’s Kitchen which has recently been filled and which is still under construction, will be open temporarily to the general public for parking. ( NOT ANY OTHER PART OF THE RING ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
This area will be open for parking as of Wednesday December 23rd until Monday January 4th 2010.
