Coimbatore Corporation is keen on providing parks in reserved sites in various wards.

The project is being undertaken in right earnest in most wards of the city. The reserved site of over 2.5 acres in Ramnagar was cleaned after much persuasion and the work of forming the park was taken up a few months ago.

The work was suspended when half of it was complete. The sudden stoppage of the work has shattered residents’ hopes.

The Ramnagar residents request the authorities concerned to complete the work early.

The site does not have a board giving details of the project, the name of the contractor, the date of completion, the budget estimate etc.

In continuation of Mr. C.N. Karunakaran’s views on road median (April 13) I suggest the following.

The road median should be high and light proof so that headlights of all kinds of vehicles can be checked by the median from passing to the adjacent lanes. This will ensure that drivers, riders and pedestrians moving in the opposite direction in the night are not affected by the light.

P.S. Subbaiyan,

There is a vacant space admeasuring 22,000 square feet which has been allotted for construction of a park near Thendral Nagar TN Housing Board area. Many housing colonies have been developed but without a park or a playground.

As pin bushes grow fast in these areas, the areas cannot be used as playgrounds. Some time ago the civic authorities had these bushes removed but they sprouted again in the rain.

A traffic constable had been posted at the Bharathi Nagar bus stop. But later the constable was removed from there.

Now people have to struggle to cross the road at the stop. Often two-wheelers find it difficult to cross the road because of heavy traffic in peak hours. (8 to 9 p.m.). Some time ago a woman was involved in an accident on the spot.

There is always heavy traffic in the area.

Will the authorities post a constable to regulate traffic which will help save many lives?

Trichy Road is one of the four important roads in Coimbatore City.

The government had allotted 700 buses to Coimbatore

and Erode two months

ago.

There are Singanallur bus stand, workshops, car showrooms, mills, schools and colleges on Trichy Road. There are no airbuses or LSS buses from Sulur to Coimbatore town and Singanallur busstand to Gandhipuram and Ukkadam (via) Ramanathapuram. People living on Trichy

Road, in Singanallur and Ramanathapuram find it difficult to go to Gandhipuram.

I request the transport department authorities to run airbuses and LSS buses from Singanallur busstand

to Ukkadam and Gandhipuram and Sulur to Gandhipuram (via) Ramanathapuram.
