Latest Answer: The Metro officials are doing something to ease traffic, but maybe it is not helping. Because of Metro works, many roads have been damaged, which are being repaired. The GCDA has proposed to widen and tar STP Road, and also the Chilavanoor Bund Road. There is traffic jam almost every day near the KSRTC depot, A L Jacob railway overbridge, and Kathrikkadavu junction. The Paradise road which is being built to reduce traffic, is taking a long time to construct. Recently CPI(M) party workers protested against the slow progress of the widening and tarring of roads near Metro sites. This will hopefully help in the Corporation and Kochi Metro Rail Limited taking some action, and reduce traffic congestion in many areas of the city.
