I've been saying this for straight 10 years: The car space operation there is an absolute gold mine. I congratulate the Chinese's and the government's realistic view of around 900 car spaces in light of the undeniable needs of the Hilton conference facilities and both British Colonial business centres in addition to the estimated new traffic. The land there is too valuable though, which is why it might have been more appropriate to build the parking garage behind the Hilton to replace those derelict buildings deprived of sea view (Bahamian land owners, you missed the opportunity of a century), to rid the area of the late night noise and occasional crime (Hilton guests facing the hill, be prepared to continue to suffer), to create a shop front opposite the Hilton and a large wall of bill boards (additional revenue to the already golden cow) and to create new jobs for Bahamians via valet services, car wash, repairs, lettings to car rental businesses, etc. Finally, a re-routing of traffic would be easier this way, but instead one can anticipate an even greater traffic problem now.
