The Future of Arugam Bay Beach Drive is being decided by guys like USAID.
Present plans appear to favour the construction of a fast, through road. Results?

Option #B might look something like this:
Or, Option #C like this:
Or would you prefer Option #D; something like this scene?
Right now it still looks like something this; true it does need certain improvements…:
But so-called “Progress” might result in this; Option #E:
A Walking Street, closed to fast traffic is very popular abroad.
Many feel that Arugam Bay would very much prosper if a By-Pass would be constructed instead of upgrading the only Street we have into a kind of race track or Motorway.
Here is Option #F:
Please have us YOUR views, ideas and Comments!
Have you been to Hikkaduwa?
Then you will know just how bad a main road in the middle of any resort can be!
It’s a horror to just walk there!
A by-pass is being build, all around Hikka, because they realized their mistake after so many years.
Arugam Bay has the chance, right now, to create a beautiful, quiet resort.
Without a stupid fast lane in the very heart of it!
We hope you can get a Walking Street there!

You can’t be serious?
Will you allow USAIDs to destroy Aragum’s unique village character?
Object to the thru way!

If you want to destroy what is left of the beautiful village of AbaY:
Just stand back and allow USAID to construct their Super High Way.
If you want to see visitors:
Stand up and object and fight for a Pedestrian Beach Front!
The character of a resort is decided by its sea front.
A walking street would lift Arugam Bay above places like Hikkaduwa, Negombo or Bentota.
Now the chance is there to implement it and build a by pass i\on empty land!
Later it would become much more difficult.
