If chennai corporation to provide traffic Roundabout (RoundTana) at the each Junction in Chennai city, its better or more Traffic or drivers confuse?

this is the example

[vinodgopal]

first of all pain points and bottle necks in traffic areas are to be shortlisted - for example choolaimedu bridge to loyola college, nelson manikkam road, poondha malli high road, haddows road/nungambakkam high road, chetpat bridge, tnagar and 100 feet road. One must construct a separate two wheeler lane and if possible teach alternative directions for some of the commuters to go through other roads as an alternate choice and classes conducted at some places free of cost to the public. Maybe then we could see some relief.

Chennai: 2 satellite bus terminals soon

CHENNAI: The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CDMA) has decided to set up two satellite inter-city bus terminals, one at Madhavaram and the other near the MRTS station at Velacherry, at a total cost of Rs 80 crore. Madhavaram terminal, which is estimated to cost Rs 32 crore, will come up in an area of eight acres within the Madhavaram bus and truck terminal by shifting some of the bus services through the GNT Road.

The other terminal will come up at the vacant site measuring about 12 acres within the 15 acres site located near the Velacherry Mass Rapid Transit System railway Station (as part of the bus inter-change to the Mass Rapid Transit System) by shifting some of the bus services through the East Coast Road and Old Mahabalipuram Road. This terminal will come up at an estimated cost of `48 crore.

The CMDA will prepare necessary feasibility reports on these terminals by itself or will get these reports prepared by the Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Limited.

feasibility report a? ivangellam thirunthavey matangala!

they should directly start preparing DPR and complete it in 6months and start construction in May 2012 and complete it by May 2013.

Ippo feasibility report start panna, 2013 end la feasbility report completion, 2014 la DPR, 2015 la construction start pannu 2017 la katti mudipanga.

by then CMBT will become like broadway and we can see buses being parked in 100feet road.

hi jolly.. adutha election vandudumnu sollunga.. appurom oru CTRL+ALT+DEL panni oru reset..

This is really backward thinking, just for two. First of, they should be aiming for more than two nodes to cover the bursting metropolis. Hope the new Mayor can get creative in solving Chennai's traffic woes or atleast help press the accelerator on current ones.

It is because, the drivers and conductors are opposing a bus stand at velachery for ECR bound buses. They can't travel so much distance in the traffic to reach Thiruvanmyur to pick up crowds.

Instead if, Thiruvanmyur bus stand is upgraded to a two-level bus stand, then ECR bound buses can be shifted to that place.

Still the proposal for a bus stand at Tambaram is yet to be cleared.

ennapa solluringa? so much distance???

Reaching Velacherry from Thiruvanmiyur is very easy compared to reaching CMBT through SP, Anna Salai and IRR traffic... and Distance is also very less!

Once the bus construction finish, by then Vijanagar flyover will also be ready.

In what way this thread is different from the other roads and transportation project threads of Chennai-SSC. I guess this one is only for suggestions/views etc.

Chennai suburbs cry for rail connectivity

The rapid expansion and burgeoning development has heightened the expectations of suburban residents over better rail connectivity in their area.

Doubling the frequency of operation of EMUs beyond Tambaram and Avadi has become imperative owing to massive development there in the last few years.

Likewise, there is an urgent need for hasty completion of MRTS (Mass rapid transit system) in the Velachery-St Thomas Mount stretch, which witnessed a sea change in respect of development in the past few years that literally remains a non-starter over a decade after planning.

“Railways continues to neglect the transport needs of people beyond Tambaram despite the areas witnessing rapid development. Not even half the number of trains are operated till Chengalpattu as against the trains operated between Beach and Tambaram,” bank officer from Potheri A. Sattanathan said.

“We wait for nearly 30 mintues at times in Fort Station to board a train to Singaperumal Koil. Most often, we have to alight at Tambaram and fetch a bus there to reach home early owing to want of adequate direct trains,” pointed out secretariat employee Renuka Sekar.

Likewise, there is demand to connect the busy industrial corridors like OMR and ECR with Velcahery and Tambaram where thousands of IT professionals work.

Worse, the shelving of second phase of metro rail project has cast a shadow on the extension of service to Tiruvottiyur. ( officially shelved???)

“We are hopeful that the government will connect Tiruvottiyur at least in the monorail project,” E. Balasubramanian, co convener of North Chennai People's Right Federation, said.

Chennai: The Chennai monorail project, which was held up due to the model code of conduct being in force for the local body elections, is back on track with contracts set to be awarded in November.

"The names of consulting and building firms for the project would be announced by the first week of November," said MTC managing director and monorail project director S Boopathy. There would be no delay in the implementation of the project, he added.

Submission of tenders for developers closed on October 12, but no decision was taken due to the local body elections in the state. MTC, the nodal agency for the project, had invited tenders from developers under a design-build-finance-operatetransfer basis. Tenders from consulting firms for
providing transaction advisory services for selecting a developer were accepted till September 16.

The monorail is expected to pick up steam with the change of guard at Ripon Buildings and the project being chief minister Jayalalithaa's brainchild. Last week, during a debate with former mayor M Subramaniam in the TOI office, mayor-elect Saidai Duraisamy had said, "The monorail can be brought to the city immediately, while the metro will take time. We have to see which system is more beneficial to the people. We have not stopped the Metro Rail project."

He probably means they have not stalled construction of Phase I and converted the viaduct to a hospital. How nice of them not to have done that.

Idea for amma. Unless something threatening, for normal consultations people go only to clinics and not hospitals. How about using them for free clinics across the route?

Since you mention it, I once made a presentation in college about how Metro coaches could have an emergency medical section which could double up as Ambulances in heavy traffic. Of course, loads of feasibility issues.

Hey

Looks like a nice idea. As you said logistics will be an issue.

Why cant we have ambulance coach on rail which can be connected to existing trains easily (and also disconnected easily).

Think over

They cannot stall phase one metro legally for that is the agreement between the previous state govt and CMRL which cannot be revoked.That is the reason otherwise metro phase one also would have had the same fate like the Secretariat building.

That's possible, only there will be the time overhead of attaching the coach.

Has it been done anywhere in the world ?
