Hey, actually what happened in all these previous instances is that these projects could not be carried out forward owing to price escalation. I think there are several rounds of discussions going on with the local authorities for the completion of this project.
I think that the major renovation work like this is happening after a gap of four decades...there were many projects earlier on that were worth several crores of rupees for the beautification of the broadway with the involvement of other bodies. But this works did not go on.. I dont know why.
Oh yeah..the broadway was always a very popular shopping hub, you know, over a period of time but now it has become very narrow road because the shopkeepers have started hanging all their things to the front. and because of the good tourist attractions here, this area needs to have a makeover very soon.
Hi, rajesh, the broadway has many traditional buildings and many good concrete structures near to this. This will soon all go and change its appearance and will resemble a shopping mall. After the completion of the project., the merchants will have to maintain the beauty by not hanging any items infornt of the their shops.
I came to know that all these works that you gave above no, they will come on this 300 metre stretch will be carried out by spending around rupees 76 lakhs which will be sanctioned from the people's fund of the local body.
yeah...exactly. I think that the congested drains will be on both sides of the roads and will give way to the broad ones. And you know, the damaged old slabs on the footpath will also be removed and replaced by tiles.
I think that the work is expected to be complete by March 20. I don think that the renovation work will cover the whole one-kilometre stretch according to the present plan. There are lots of developments planned here, though.
Hey, actually what the situation here is that the cable wires are all dangling from the power poles that crisscross buildings and all. This actually degrades the beauty of this heritage area. Now this will be a thing of past...with electrical cables shifting to the underground ducts.
Oh, this road is actually a 300 metre stretch starting from the CSI Emmanuel Church to the road behind Sea Lord Hotel. The plan is to renovate the road with interlocked tiles and lighting by replacing the old lamp posts.
Hi Rajesh, I think that the Broadway is one of the widest roads in the Kochi city no..this broadway is coming into the news for a makeover after 40 long years, you know. There are plans to renovate this road.
