Sources from chennai stated that the Pedestrian Plaza that was inaugurated just a couple of months ago in chennai is just the first of many new "pedestrian friendly" plans the Greater chennai Corporation has in store for the city. Earlier on tuesday, the chennai Mega Streets Programme was inaugurated by minister of Municipal Administration, Rural Development and Implementation of Special Projects SP Velumani, in the city. Furthermore the ambitious project that is proposed to cover 426 sq. km of the city will begin with phase 1 that will cover 70 sq. km of North, South and Central zones of the city.

 

Perhaps under phase 1, the "mobility, utility and the livability" of the streets will be improved. Greater chennai Corporation Commissioner G Prakash, Chief Secretary to the government of tamil Nadu K Shanmugam and Deputy Commissioner (works) P Kumaravel Pandian were present for the inauguration. Apparently in phase 1, a total of 110 kilometres of the arterial and sub-arterial streets in the neighbourhoods of Anna nagar,  Tondiarpet, Nungambakkam, Mylapore, Velachery and Adyar will be covered. Some of the major roads that will be redeveloped under phase 1 are: Dr Radakrishnan Salai, Cathedral Road, gandhi Mandapam Road, Sardar patel Road, LB Road, Thiruvotriyur High road, North terminus Road, New Avadi Road, 2nd & 3rd Avenue road Anna nagar, Royapettah High Road, Kutchery Road, Greenways Road, CP Ramaswamy Road, Eldams Road, Race Course road, Velachery Main Road and Five Furlong Road.

 

Moreover minister SP Velumani said, “This new scheme will prevent the roads from being dug frequently for the next 30 years. This plan will also integrate all modes of transport. In the areas that the scheme is proposed to be rolled out, there will be play areas and parks for children, benches for the elderly, shady trees and lights will be made available.”
