Mr. Ron Lester who is the project manager from Motorola assured us that he is firmly committed to the success of this project. This commitment was made after we made the statement that failure is not a viable option . In our last exchange Mr. Lester informed us that the new hardware for St. Croix is scheduled to arrive on-island on December 15 th and will be installed within two days of arrival. The Model 170 traffic light systems in use in the territory have been extensively tested and are totally Y2K compliant. There are still some outstanding items pertaining to the telephone lines used to program the traffic lights but these items do not impact Y2K readiness.
All equipment is currently on order.
Deliveries are expected by December 15 th with installations to commence immediately. The installation of the inter-island network is proceeding according to schedule even with the problems caused by the weather. This network will interconnect the MVA, DOJ, IRB, FBI Streetsmart, Cruz Bay Police Station and the St. Thomas Police Department locations. In addition, the existing police two-way radio system will be enhanced across the island. All hardware for the St. Thomas sites has been installed.
