How to turn T Nagar
pedestrian-friendly
Bhama Devi Ravi | TNN
Chennai: In probably the first
concerted effort to make T Nagar pedestrian-friendly, a report
will be submitted to the Chennai Corporation on Friday.
The report on ‘T Nagar
pedestrianisation and redevelopment project’, prepared by
Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj and
Townland Consultants, will provide a comprehensive picture of
the problems and solutions.
Putting existing pedestrian
space to better use and creation
of more space are likely to be
the highlights of the report.
This, the project aims to achieve,
through repositioning of hawkers and preventing haphazard
parking of vehicles.
“The aim is to provide
amenities to all, and our top priority is to make the area pedestrian-friendly and ensure
smooth traffic flow,” said corporation commissioner Rajesh
Lakhoni. “There are five stakeholders in the area under survey and the objective is to address their many concerns,” he
added. The methodology for the
improvement and redevelopment would factor in concerns
of the residents of the neighbourhood, shopkeepers on Usman Road, shoppers who are not
residents of the area, auto drivers, hawkers and staff employed

FIRST EFFORT: The report on T Nagar pedestrianisation project
prepared by Jones Lang LaSalle will provide a comprehensive
picture of problems and solutions
in the thousands of shops. The
project will cover an area of 6.85
sq km, added Lakhoni.
“Random surveys of the
stake holders would be conducted before a blueprint is prepared,” said K Phanindra Reddy, managing director and CEO
of Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Services Limited.
“Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj
and Townland Consultants
would conduct wide ranging surveys,” he added.
Emerging as a key commuter
area, T Nagar has witnessed exponential growth; hundreds of
thousands of people pass
through the area every day. “The
flip-side to living in an area with
good access to all your needs is
the higher vehicular movement
and greater noise pollution. The
relentless movement of people
has made living and commuting in the area a stress-filled experience,” says K Padma, a resident of the area for 15 years.
Even as a number of infrastructure facilities such as flyovers, and traffic modifications
have taken place in recent years,
the burden of development is
still a challenge, said officials.
“The project offers to examine options for a more holistic
solution,” said Lakhoni. “Even
policy suggestions and a paradigm shift would be explored, if
suggested by the consultants,”
he added. The idea of area-specific redevelopment evolved in
the city over two years ago, with
Chennai City Connect, an NGO
and entities such as Chennai
Corporation working in tandem.

Chennai: The Madras High Court has refused to interfere with the IPL’s season-3 schedule, and has rejected a plea which said that the event overlapped
the board examinations for SSLC and plus-two.
Dismissing a PIL filed by film producer Hennry
on Tuesday, Chief Justice HL Gokhale and Justice
V Dhanapalan, asked
the authorities concerned to consider the
representation.
Hennry said the
IPL’s March to April
schedule overlapped
the board examinations, and it would affect the students’
preparations. Besides
REJECTED ONCE AGAIN
seeking a stay on the
schedule, the petitioner wanted the court to direct
the IPL management and the state to frame guidelines to regulate and monitor sports activities in the
students’ interest. This is the second PIL filed by
Hennry, whose first petition was disposed of by the
court on February 17 with a direction that he submit a representation to the authorities. He then approached the BCCI and the IPL. Since there was no
response from them, he filed the present petition.
The first bench, disapproving of the BCCI’s stand
that the state did not have jurisdiction over the issue, said the authorities should pass an order, before conveying the decision to the petitioner. “If
the Centre is of the view that the representation
deserves to be rejected, it may reject the same without issuing notice to the BCCI. But it must first take
some decision on the representation, and that decision should be communicated to the petitioner,”
the judges said.
