Peynier Street is a major thoroughfare in the Castries Central Business District (CBD). A oneway street, it runs from East to West, intersecting with Brazil Street, Micoud Street and Jeremie
Street, and links to the John Compton Highway soon after its intersection with Jeremie Street.
Peynier Street also branches off into streets such as High Street, and St. Louis Street.
Lining Peynier Street are buildings such as the House of Parliament, the High Court (currently
not in use), the Family Court and the Office of the Mayor of Castries and City Hall. The street
is also home to two (2) blocks of housing apartments (L & S), which form part of the larger
housing complex in Central Castries, commonly referred to as the CDCs. Constitution Park,
a popular area where mainly middle aged and elderly men congregate and which is also
a popular site for anti-government protests, because of its close proximity to the Parliament,
is also along that street.
Peynier Street has sidewalks on either side, which facilitate the movement of pedestrians.
Consultations with vendors and min-bus drivers who spend a considerable amount of time
plying their trade from the sidewalks reveal that due to a number of defects, the sidewalks
pose a danger to pedestrians generally, but more specifically to the elderly, pregnant
women and women carrying babies who regularly slip and fall particularly when the
sidewalks are wet. Hence, they welcome the improvement to the sidewalks.
The estimated cost for this sidewalk improvements is USD186, 000 equivalent to XCD
500,005.20.
