East-west Corridor




The East-West Corridor is the built-up area of north Trinidad stretching from the capital, Port Of Spain , 15 miles east to Arima . The term was coined by economist and political philosopher Lloyd Best , after gleaning the works of a technocrat named Lynette Attwell. ''The Corridor'' includes such towns as Barataria , San Juan , St. Joseph , Curepe , St. Augustine, Tunapuna , Tacarigua, Arouca, and Five Rivers, once distinct communities, now districts within a continuous urban area. For the most part it runs along the Eastern Main Road , between the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway and the foothills of the Northern Range . It is a densely populated and fairly congested strip of development along some of the best agricultural soils in the country.
