East-West Corridor
The East-West Corridor is the peri-urban area of development in north Trinidad stretching from the capital, Port-of-Spain, east to Arima. The term was coined by Lloyd Best. The Corridor includes such towns as Barataria, San Juan, St. Joseph, Curepe and Tunapuna. 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.
