Use this thread to discuss the wishlists and suggestions for Coimbatore projects. Let's have this as a place to collect ideas and brainstrom. Please do not post any existing / ongoing project news here. Let's continue using the main thread for those news. Use this thread to discuss what we want and what would be nice to have.

In the main thread with so many news posted some serious / worthy suggestions are getting lost. So I think this thread is necessary.

Mods feel free to delete it if it doesn't adhere to forum rules

Nice initiative..
But the way projects are getting conceived and then silently discarded, its difficult to distinguish between wishlist-projects and existing/ongoing project..
For example, is the proposed High-speed train an ongoing project? or is it on the wishlist??

And I have a question/suggestion. How come Kochi and Trivandrum feature on the forefront when i open up the url for India related projects and Coimbatore doesnt?? Its important that we create enough hype (and justified hype) abt our city. Its a tragedy that a lot of my north indian friends are still unsure if Cbe is in Kerala or TN.. thats the level of awareness they have abt our city.. cmon guys lets do watever is required to push our city higher on this list.. the more often it is seen on these lists, the more impact it will make...

Its better to plan and expand the railway underbridge near kikani high-school.
It is the main connectivity between Ramnagar and R.S.Puram.

Since brookfields started, we can see huge traffic in that area, that underbridge is a bottleneck. Govt. should take necessary action before it goes worsen.

Need of Volvo / AC bus in Coimbatore.

Coimbatore is not only an industrial city, educational hub, emerging IT city but also it is booming as the hospital hub. We can see many many people coming from out of coimbatore, out of tamilnadu for the treatment in coimbatore.

Avinashi Road is one of the major roads in coimbatore.

It has following collages within 10 kms,

1.PSG collage of Technology
2.CIT
3.CMC Medical collage
4.PSG Medical Collage
5.KMCH Medical
6.PSG collage of Arts and science
7.Krishnammal collage for women
8.SNR collage of Arts and science
9.Hindustan collage of arts and science
10.GRD collage of arts and science
11.Sardar Vallabhai fashion Technology

Not only collages, it has the same or more number of schools in the same 10 kms,
Also we have the following hospitals,

1.KMCH
2.Kuppusamy naidu hospital
3.PSG hospitals
4.CMC medical collage hospital
5.Lotus eye hospital
6.Aravind eye hospital
7.ESI hospital.

These are only the well-known list, apart from that we have many Educational institutes, Hospitals, Shopping complexes, 5 star & 3 star hotels, Super markets, 'n' number of well-known apartments & villas, theaters, theme park and ultimately the booming IT park, all within 10-15 kms.

If the govt introduces atleast 2 volvo / AC buses on this route as a pilot project, then it can realize the potential of that road and later on, can add some more volvo / AC buses in this route.

This route is one of the busiest route for the public transportation and it would be helpful for business, IT professional, collage students / Staffs, Aged residents, personnel under medication etc. Hope Tamilnadu govt. will consider and introduce them soon.

Good Op.

Those based in CBE may please plan the needs from National Highways angle (Please do not mix up State Highways & Corporation roads) and present the same to him.

Is there a Bye Pass connecting Avinashi Road and MTP Road ?

How is the connectivity between L&T ByePass Road and other emerging areas / suburbs of CBE ?

Trichy Road Expansion & MTP Road Expansion.

Sathy Road Expansion and connectivity to Mysore via Sathy.

Please keep us posted on the developments.

Any idea what is the population of the city as per the 2011 census? (i get the figures only for the district on the www). And what is the likely population after the expansion? Heard the suburbs that are being newly brought in have higher population density... Hope we cross 2.5 million (???)...

I think we may not cross 2.5 million. I hope it should be some where around 15 Lakhs to 19 Lakhs . Arul had done good analysis and posted in aratai arangam thread some time back based on district population n voters strength which quotes around the same figure.

Has been working on a report, for urban transportation for Coimbatore.

And I have in my wishlist two major rail based transit systems -

a) Rapid Transit to the suburbs of Mettupalayam, Pollachi and Tiruppur

b) Monrorail for the city and immediate vicinity.


MRT Lines

As such the first part - MRTS / suburban rail link was prepared and here I am representing the three lines -

- Blue Line to Mtpm
- Green Line to Pollachi
- Red Line to Tiruppur

Coimbatore Rapid Transit Terminal

The most important feature of the proposed Rapid Transit System for Coimbatore is a central hub or common Rapid Transit Terminal. This can be equated with Chennai Central Local Station or the local terminuses of Mumbai CST or Church Gate.

The terminal will be located South of the Junction Station on or near Valankulam premises. It will be a two tier structure with elevated and at grade platforms. It shall have sky walk connectivity to Coimbatore Junction and Ukkadam Bus Terminal. All the three railway lines will begin from the Terminal only.

Now I am showing the rough sketches with stations prepared in the coming posts; I am also making a ppt and proposal and will be prepared in some detail with monorail plans also. (Sorry, it will take some time).

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6795/mrtblue.th.jpg



Blue Line

Present situation -

It is a single line non electrified broad gauge track to Mettupalayam.

The line passes through some of the most developed suburbs of Coimbatore and there is a continuous industrial and residential development in this route for the entire stretch. Among the three lines under study for rapid transit this enjoys the maximum residential population along its full stretch and also happens to connect with the proposed rapid transit terminal through the core city area.

What is required?

-Initially electrify the existing broad gauge single line and run trains from Coimbatore North to Mettupalayam.
-Doubling and electrification from Coimbatore to Mettupalayam.
-Elevated stretch from rapid transit terminal to Koundampalyam parallel to Sanganur canal (like MRTS parallel to Buckingham Canal in Chennai). It will have important stations at key points in the city.

^^ Sending you an email. Also please have it emailed to me as well. I did few more changes to the alignments from what we spoke lasttime. Just trying to avoid redundant work :)

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3336/mrtgreen.th.jpg



Green Line

Present situation -

Presently there is no railway line between Podanur to Pollachi. The erstwhile meter gauge single line between Podanur to Pollachi and Palakkad to Pollachi and thence to Dindigul via Udumalpet and Palani has been removed for gauge conversion. The conversion is going on but will take three to four years to materialize. Upon completion it will be a non electrified broad gauge single line.

What is required ?

-Laying double broad gauge electrified line from Coimbatore to Pollachi via Podanur.
-This line will start from Rapid Transit Terminal and follow parallel to the main line till Podanur. There is ample scope for expansion being agri land. Then it will elevate to cross over Podanur – Irugur bypass main line and the station will be elevated.
-After Podanur, the line will reach at grade and follow the alignment till Pollachi.

^^ Sending you an email. Also please have it emailed to me as well. I did few more changes to the alignments from what we spoke lasttime. Just trying to avoid redundant work :)

Dear KT Sir,

I am preparing a 10 - 25 page proposal and powerpoint. This is the first part as I had time due to holiday. The next and final part I expect to complete around Diwali with next holiday and will surely mail to you.

Actually I have prepared the suburban routes on A3 format with route sketch and stations. But in imageshack I had to minimize it. But will mail you in pdf and the notes also when finished with a copy to Ravi Sir etc.

Around December I'll come to Cbe to visit my uncle who will rtn from US. So will try to discuss and evolve a foot print. But all this suburban work involves alignment with Southern Railway and hence don't know if it will work out and hence included in 'Wishlist'.:nuts:

But the Mono part I am yet to prepare and will send u a draft and u can also suggest mods and this we can push up and ask the authorities (of course after elections) to go 4 feasibility study inviting experts like Urbanaut.

Red Line

Present situation -

The Podanur - Coimbatore – Coimbatore North – Irugur railway line was a single track till recently and was a bottleneck for trains and a cause of delay for them. Very recently, the line has been doubled and electrified. But the railway authorities are still routing most of the trains bound to Kerala by the bypass line through Podanur junction.

The bypass line connects Podanur with Irugur and many trains from Kerala that skip Coimbatore junction pass through this line. This line is a single line and electrified.

From Irugur onwards to Tiruppur the line is double track electrified.

There exsited an old loop line thru Nanjundapuram to Irugur bypass line formerly.

What to do?

-Initially run local trains from Coimbatore - Tiruppur through main line only, but frequency will be less as this line is congested by passenger and goods trains.
-Dedicated suburban corridor in the future with common rapid transit terminal.
-Revive the loop line from Coimbatore Junction to Nanjundapuram.
-Additional two lines from Coimbatore to Tirupur via Nanjundapuram, Singanallur, Irugur (present bypass line).
-The line will be elevated sharing with Blue line till Sanganur Canal alignment and then will cross the Podanur – Irugur Bypass line and will reach at grade and pass on the right side of the existing main line. It will continue as such after joining with the main line from Irugur also and will terminate near Tirupur.
There will be stations at Singanallur and Ondipudur in this line.

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9337/cbemetroelevatedcityare.th.jpg


This stretch has been modeled on the lines of Chennai MRTS going parallel to Buckingham Canal.

Here this stretch deviates from main line after Koundampalayam parallel to Sanganur Canal till Tiruchi Road.

It will have elevated stations for Rathinapuri, Gandhipuram , Avarampalayam Road, Avinashi Road, Sowripalayam, Tiruchi Road and joins the loop near Nanjundapuram.

This line has been planned as part of Blur Line or can be made as a Monorail loop also.

We should demand a BRTS on Avinashi Road and a monorail.
And double the L&T bypass width, PLEASE.

you travelled cbe these days?

Guys!

Which will be the ideal location in Outer areas of Coimbatore, where a Freight terminal can be located.

The location should be ideally connected to Kerala, Karnataka & other TN districts by existing or proposed interstate roads and proposed railway tracks. (without getting into the city)

Explanation with Google Map will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Cross-posted in Ring roads and infrastructure thread

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6812/truckgr.jpg

Route 1: Avinashi-CBE
This route brings in more vehicle unit and this road is already made into a 6 lane road.

Route 2: Palghat-CBE
This road acts as a connecting nerve between Kerala and Tamilnadu. Port connectivity to Cochin

Route 3:Trichy-CBE
This road connects Central/South Tamilnadu to Kerala and CBE. Port connectivity to Tuticorin/Karaikal
Route 4: Mettupalayam to CBE
Route 5: Pollachi to CBE(This road also can act as the Port connectivity to Tuticorin)
Route 6: Sathyamangalam to CBE

Ordering of above route is classified based on
- Number of vehicle unit From and to the city
- Number of vehicle unit using CBE as a transit point(Eg Truck from North India using CBE a transit point for entering Kerala)

Primary Location Terminal:
- Barren land
- Acquisition cost will be less
- Near to City
- Equal distance from all major routes classified above
- Easier accessibility
- CONCOR's Terminal @ Irugur is very near
- Irugur/Podanur Major Railway junction for handling freight is very near to this terminal.
- Airport is very near

Secondary location Terminal:
This place is also a barren land which is very near to Ukkadam(Existing Truck Terminal) and holds the same advantages listed above.

Connectivity from Terminal to Route 4 and Route 6 are major issue now. the traffic from these routes need to enter the city. Once the proposed By-pass road From Sulur to MTP road(Proposal by NHAI) gets completed all major routes will be accessible from the Terminal. The road as per the proposal connects MTP road with Sathy Road and later joins Avinashi Road and goes to Sulur(Trichy Road).

Thanks Karthik.

you travelled cbe these days?

I live in Sathy.
Travel to CBE every weekend.

Karthik,

Good one. I personally prefer it between Eechanari and Kinathukadavu in NH 209. A slight deviation of-course from Palghat / NH-47 towards south, but will be at outskirts without having to get into the city. Also easily accesable from NH-47.

NH 209 leads to Mysore and I believe Kannan also asked for easy access to both Karnataka and Kerala and that IMO will fit better. Another advantage is connectivity to the south via Dindigal

^^ Option A is my first preference

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6371/screenshot20111024at723.png

Next wish list

Apart from Gandhipuram flyover now with bus-stand at MTP road, it is time to have one at the SB Koil junction too connecting both ends of MTP road, NSR Road and the Shivananda colony road. Had enough with the Shivanandha colony moocha pass :lol: Time to give a facelift to that area..

Railway Lines- drawn in black
Circular Railway Line-Violet dotted line-More info posted by KT @
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1344331&page=10
Blue Line-If sulur is selected as terminal then this new road can be proposed parellel to the railway line from L&T bypass for traffic from Pollachi and Palghat roads. Even if the line is not possible trucks from the above road can take right turn at L&T bypass-Trichy Road junction and reach sulur.

Rail and Road Freight Terminal:

With the track record of Indian Railway(18 yrs for 18 KM Irugur-CBE line) its difficult to propose any new freight line from this region. So the limitation

is to find a location where already the railway line is in place.

Irugur 1 and Irugur 2:

Pros:
Place where L&T bypass and the railway line meets.
Irugur 1-Already CONCOR is operating from here(North of Irugur jn)
Proximity to Airport
Railway line to CBE, Podanur and Tirupur
Based on my previous post this place is accessible to all the routes.

Cons:
Land availablity- Irugur 1 Less space. Land before the Jn(Tirupur to CBE is taken by all major Oil companies) HP, Bharat Petroleum and India Oil. Irugur 2

has space with railway land. scope is available for expansion on acquisation.

Podanur(Chettipalayam Road)(Secondary location in my previous post)
Already listed the benefits. The Railway Line to Pollachi is an added advantage. This line belongs to palghat division and is waiting broad gauge conversion

Madukkarai (suggested by KT):
Perfect but far away from major route like Avinashi and Trichy road.

Pollachi Road (suggested by KT): Only drawback is the railway line but has all other advantages.

Sulur:
As per the NHAI proposal a ROB will be constructed near Sulur Road railway station for the bypass from Trichy road to MTP road. Still not sure about the alignment so much cannot be commented. But this place is also not far from Irugur and offers all the location advantage+land availablity.

1. Though the Sathy Road connects Karnataka, volume of traffic - how much?. Are lorries taking this route ? Any future plan for Indian railways along this route ? Forest Land Issue ???
Traffic from North Karnataka + Bangalore takes the salem route which constitutes more than 75% to my knowledge. 20% may come from Sathy Road. The major problem in this route is the ghat section(29 hair pin bends). Truck with heavy load and trailers dont prefer this route due to this. There is a proposal to connect Mysore-Sathyangalam-Erode by a railway line but not an inch progressed. Environmentalist are protesting due to the elephant corridor. Now Sathy is declared as a Tiger Reserve getting a Railway line will be very difficult.

2.CBE - MTP - Ooty road - Does it serve as a freight route to any other state / region other than Ooty/ Coonoor ? Gudalur - wayanad - Is it freight corridor ? Masinagudi - Mysore route - Can it be reached through any other route than vis Ooty.?
karnataka and Kerala Traffic via MTP road is negligible. Masinagudi route is not taken by trucks. Usually the traffic from Karnataka and Kerala to Ooty takes the circuitious Gudalur route. Masinagudi(I feel the steepest road in Tamilnadu) due to its hairpin bends and steepness is avoided by trucks. Even Tourist vehicles find it difficult to climb up. The freight from MTP route maily from Nilgiris and Wayanad. Even the freight from Mysore takes the Sathy road. After 6PM this road is closed for traffic. Not sure about this update now.

3. The current railway line from Tiruppur side gets split at Irugur - one line goes to CBE North then to MTP / CBE station. The other line goes to Kerala.
There is another line to Pollachi. or any more ?

The Line from Irugur splits to CBE North and Podanur. From CBE north the track diverts to MTP and CBE junction. From Podanur, track leads to CBE JN, Irugur, Pollachi and Palghat.
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6362/railway.jpg

Where are the freight terminals right now ? I remember seeing FCI godowns near CBE North. ANother warehouse in CBE station (on Pollachi road side)


Warehouse known to me. If any others are present members can add.
Thondamuthur Road Near Selvampathy Lake- Location-Lat long (11.005462,76.936505)
FCI @ Peelamedu Railway Station- 11.035928,76.998786
FCI @ Coimbatore North
Container corporation @ CBE Jn
Concor @ irugur(11.024439,77.074392)
Central Warehouse corporation near Singanallur Railway station(11.01334,77.0411)

The areas marked by you - are they within the land already acquired by L&T or outside ?
I have marked areas of L&T acquired site. Not sure about other areas though.

@karthik.
As I said, NH209 is used to K'taka traffic TILL Sathy. From here, they take a deviation to Athani, then Anthiyur, Mettur, Thoppur, join NH7, go to KRishnagiri, Hosur and ultimately bangalore.
ONLY Mysore and Chamrajanagar buses use this road beyond Sathy.

^^ Good analysis Karthik!!

Another possible advantage of Madhukkarai is it is in the path of proposed Cochin-CBE corridor.

Another possible disadvantage of NH-47 (towards Salem) is if CBE-Tiruppur Metropolitian authority is ever formed, the city is bound to experience heavy passenger traffic in that direction. (already the growth is in that direction). Possibility of a rapid transportation system in that direction will also have limitations to freight terminal. Advantage in that direction could be Salem-CBE corridor.

If we have to utilize Cochin-CBE and Salem-CBE corridor to its potential Madhukkarai option looks better to me now even than the Pollachi road one. Hmm rethinking!!!

Thanks Karthik

Amazing work.

For a moment, forget about existing railway lines.

As far as there are links possible through a line, it is okay. Road connectivity is also important.

IMO, L&T Bye Pass near Podanur looks most suitable. Then south of Sulur.

Will have to check if Govt has lands available in these stretches.

In Googlemap,

L&T Bye Pass

I see a vast land parcel marked Coconut Farm (wikimapia) near Nanjundapuram.
Another land parcel shown as CBE heap of Sweeping Land (!?!) near Podanur.(wikimapia)

South of Sulur Lake and west Of Sulur Airport Runway, I see vast land vacant.

Can we discuss which is better of these locations ?

Thanks in advance.

^^ I thought about Sulur. The problem with freight traffic movement and terminal in that area is environmental.

The point from Karthik's map seems to be closer to the lake and appears like the location that you are talking about (I think I assume both of us are talking about same vacant land) is so close to the lake. You are scaring the habitats of the lake :)

We need to preserve our water bodies and greenaries.

http://wildlifemusings.wordpress.com/2010/11/21/birding-at-sulur-lake/

Another wishlist CCTV :) IR kudukutho illayo, namma kaleengaru ivangalukku rendu oc TV potti / camera kuduthirukkalam :) Not only at CBE main junction, we need it at most public gathering places across the city for security.

Raveendran Sir!! Myself and few friends here can sponsor a survillence system for Junction. Doesn't cost much. If RAAC has some more funds to add dummy terminals and networking please check with RS and police authorities if they can install and use it (and more importantly maintain it)

In a major lacuna on the security front, the Coimbatore railway station, which has a footfall of more than one lakh people every day, has no surveillance cameras to monitor the crowd. And this at a time when the city is in high alert mode.

“The surveillance cameras which became defunct more than a year ago are yet to be repaired and new ones need to be installed for monitoring the crowd at the railway station,” said sources in railway police.

Railway police also said that there was a sharp rise in the number of thefts being reported and that the value of property stolen has also almost doubled over the last two years.

“In the event of any major untoward incident, we would have no footage from the surveillance cameras, which would otherwise be of immense help in identifying the culprits. Currently, the absence of surveillance cameras makes it convenient for any person to commit an offence and go scot free without any evidence,” the sources said.

With the approaching festive season, a heavy rush of passengers is expected at the station. During this time, pocket picking, bag lifting and chain snatching incidents are expected to increase.

“Of the 13 cases registered in 2009, properties worth Rs 2.10 lakh were stolen while the value of properties stolen was worth Rs 3.26 lakhs last year. And comparatively, there has been a sharp increase this year with 37 cases registered and properties worth Rs 4.45 lakhs being stolen so far,” said the police sources.

The point from Karthik's map seems to be closer to the lake and appears like the location that you are talking about (I think I assume both of us are talking about same vacant land) is so close to the lake. You are scaring the habitats of the lake :)

Found it in Bangalore thread!! Thanks to Sree who posted it there (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=85176254&postcount=27). When Rapid transportation model is considered for the city we should consider this model. (atleast as a POC for a small stretch to begin with)

Saves space, time and money.

Need an elevated expressway for Avinashi Road, starting from the goods shed road to at-least till the Airport
----------------------------------------------------------

IMO all this signals are needed. Hope they don't remove these signals in the name of free-flow of traffic. Free flow should be achieved by building flyovers or elevated expressway till airport with key exit points.

I am skeptical about how this "Green corridor" will work..

--------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/article2594038.ece

City Police Commissioner Amaresh Pujari switched on a new traffic signal at the PSGR Krishnammal College Junction here on Wednesday.

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/00826/03cb_avanashi_road_826060f.jpg

Mr.Pujari said that the new signal and the second to be solar-powered, in the city with a 600 w solar panel, has independent power back-up for 18 hours without sunlight.

The signal, costing Rs 4 lakh, has been funded by GRG Trust and put up by a team from Namakkal.

Novelty

The novelty in this signal was that it would function only during peak hours i.e., school and college hours to enable students cross the road. The GRG signal was another step towards the vision of the Coimbatore City Police in launching a ‘green' corridor on Avanashi Road from the old flyover to Coimbatore Airport Junction.

However, motorists find high number of signals on this stretch an obstruction to the free flow of traffic.

The signal is the 46th in the city and the 11th signal on a 9.2 km stretch of Avanashi Road (total length of Avanashi Road is 15 km).

A motorist proceeding from JM Bakery on Avanashi Road to the Airport will now have to stop at signals at LIC Road, Anna Statue, Lakshmi Mill Junction, Nava India, PSG Tech, Krishnammal College, Ranga Vilas Scheme Road, Hope Junction, Medical College, Tidel Park Junction and at Airport Road Junction. (See map)

There are proposals for new signals at Cheran Maa Nagar road inter-section between PSG Tech and Krishnammal College and another near Jennys Club where a road branches off to CODISSIA between Medical College and Airport Junction.

The distance between signals from JM Bakery Junction is as follows: JM Bakery to LIC 0.4 km, Anna Statue at 0.7 km, Lakshmi Mills Junction 2.3 km, Nava India at 3.4 km, PSG Tech at 4.5 km, PSGR Krishnammal College at 5.2 km, Ranga Vilas Scheme Road at 5.5 km, Hope Junction at 6.4 km, CMCH at 7.1 km and Airport at 9.1 km. Signals at JM Bakery, LIC Road and Anna Statue are located close to one another just as the signals between Ranga Vilas Scheme Road and Hope Junction.

When this was pointed out to Mr.Pujari, he said that the distance between signals should not be seen in isolation since the road had too many intersections.

In the absence of a signal, the traffic was choked with possibility of accidents as vehicles entered the arterial road from inter-sections.

Absence of a signal was no guarantee for uninterrupted flow of traffic. A synchronised signal network could ensure free flow of vehicles.

The ordeal of facing a red signal, especially while travelling on a straight alignment, would last only for a few weeks.

A team led by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime and Traffic), T. Senthilkumar were already nearing the completion of synchronising the signals and the ‘Green Corridor' (wherein a motorist from the Airport to Avanashi Road Flyover or vice versa) would get green signals at all the 11 traffic signals.

The motorist would have to travel at a speed indicated by the speed indicator fixed on top of the traffic signals and should not stop en route.

The ‘Green Corridor' would become operational by the end of November.

Thanks to Ananth, lifted this concept from Madurai thread :)

On tourism front, operate sight-seeing tours in PPP model (definitely not government owned) by both air and road. By air I mean chopper rides.

Tours can include day trips by road in several directions to hotspots including (but not limited to) poondi, kovai kuttralam / siruvani, annaimalai, vaalparai, top-slip etc.,

A sports village with multiple facilities capable of hosting international events in suburbs.

Most of our arterial roads are dusty and in case of trichy road n avinashi road, one entire lane on either ends of the road is covered by sand.
I always wonder how come in chennai and bangalore they could maintain wider roads without the sand being accumulated on the roads. In case of blore, the landscaping is also good, with good wider platforms. Cbe corp should really try this out, especially along trichy road.
RAAC should take this matter with cbe corp. Also a new culture is spreading in the city, sticking bills on the medians ( I hate this),starting from some christian gospel posters to amma, ayya, sonia's poster all over the medians along trichy road, pankaja mill road. They are right now sparing the avinashi road median.There should be some strict rules banning this.

Most of our arterial roads are dusty and in case of trichy road n avinashi road, one entire lane on either ends of the road is covered by sand.
I always wonder how come in chennai and bangalore they could maintain wider roads without the sand being accumulated on the roads. In case of blore, the landscaping is also good, with good wider platforms. Cbe corp should really try this out, especially along trichy road.
RAAC should take this matter with cbe corp. Also a new culture is spreading in the city, sticking bills on the medians ( I hate this),starting from some christian gospel posters to amma, ayya, sonia's poster all over the medians along trichy road, pankaja mill road. They are right now sparing the avinashi road median.There should be some strict rules banning this.

Avinashi road should be re-layed again in few places also the lanes are mixed up and locking very ugly!!! and why cannot the entire stretch medians can be changed:bash:

Need of Volvo / AC bus in Coimbatore.

Coimbatore is not only an industrial city, educational hub, emerging IT city but also it is booming as the hospital hub. We can see many many people coming from out of coimbatore, out of tamilnadu for the treatment in coimbatore.

Avinashi Road is one of the major roads in coimbatore.

It has following collages within 10 kms,

1.PSG collage of Technology
2.CIT
3.CMC Medical collage
4.PSG Medical Collage
5.KMCH Medical
6.PSG collage of Arts and science
7.Krishnammal collage for women
8.SNR collage of Arts and science
9.Hindustan collage of arts and science
10.GRD collage of arts and science
11.Sardar Vallabhai fashion Technology

Not only collages, it has the same or more number of schools in the same 10 kms,
Also we have the following hospitals,

1.KMCH
2.Kuppusamy naidu hospital
3.PSG hospitals
4.CMC medical collage hospital
5.Lotus eye hospital
6.Aravind eye hospital
7.ESI hospital.

These are only the well-known list, apart from that we have many Educational institutes, Hospitals, Shopping complexes, 5 star & 3 star hotels, Super markets, 'n' number of well-known apartments & villas, theaters, theme park and ultimately the booming IT park, all within 10-15 kms.

If the govt introduces atleast 2 volvo / AC buses on this route as a pilot project, then it can realize the potential of that road and later on, can add some more volvo / AC buses in this route.

This route is one of the busiest route for the public transportation and it would be helpful for business, IT professional, collage students / Staffs, Aged residents, personnel under medication etc. Hope Tamilnadu govt. will consider and introduce them soon.

Coimbatore is an emerging metro city and does not have even volvo AC buses!!! when atleast will dis prb be solved ….it is a commercial and business hub of the state and second largest city in the state after chennai and highest revenue city !!! when tier2 cities like mysore kochi trivandrum are having volvos why is cbe still laging!!!!

A simple answer is the inefficiency of the dumb TNSTC cbe and the lack of SG's will. First a dedicated metropolitan transport corporation is required, and TN govt still considering only chennai as the city, shifting focus towards central region of the state, turning blind eye towards cbe, this will never happen.
Latest to note the Ineffectiveness of TNSTC cbe is, a few new routes were introduced and without even giving proper establishing time for the new routes , they were all pressed to the old famous routes like 96, 90, 2etc., TNSTC Madurai is doing a better work in trying new routes in Madurai city.

We know that but a person from outside say about north India or from some other country will think that Cochin, Trivandrum or even Kolikode is bigger than Coimbatore. Since it has good infrastructure facilities like International Airport, AC Volvo bus, Proposed metro in Cochin etc... If I think about this and all my blood is boiling...
