Latest Answer: Other than clearing the channels, a pathway for people to walk around the lake will be built and a running track will be laid after the slum dwellers move to permanent houses. The place will look completely different once all that is finished.
Q:I've heard that the Trichy roads are inefficient and gets affected easily by rains. Has this civic issue been rectified? Has there been any improvement in development of the road?
Latest Answer: Yeah, people are still finding it extremely difficult to even walk on the streets especially in areas like R.K. Layout, Amman Koil Street, Vinayagar Koil Street, Parthasarathy Street, Shastri Street, Ganga Street, Dr. Bhabha Street. Basically, the drainage work that started in Venkitapuram and other areas of the neighbourhood has not been completed efficiently. This is really not fair on the part of Coimbatore Corporation and if they want to provide us with civic facilities like a proper drainage system then it should not be with the cost and compromise of other facilities as basic as roads! School children need to be picked up from new bus stops by parents, as the buses and vans refuse to come into the narrow lanes where the roads are very bad. Coimbatore in general needs a complete makeover, infrastructure wise.
