Thanku Scorpio, what is your opinion regarding ring road for Kochi, is it practically possible?
The environment is really fragile at some locations..thats also a concern for a city like Kochi..adverse effects can happen if mangroves are removed for massive landfills, it can be done with providing bridges i guess...http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2089/dsc00259l.jpg

See these pics shot frm vallarpadom ICTT area. this is how the neighbouring islands around Kochi looks like. So land aquisition is won't make a big issue, except the CRZ rules, surely mainland eastern side from eloor, kalamassery, perumbavoor, kakkanad, puthencruz, tripunithura to Edakochi is a concern.
Calicut-Edapally stretch is given first preference for 4 laning, I dont know when will it happen..the traffic volume is very high and due to this it will take upto 6 hours on road between EKM & CLT, which is covered within 4 to 5 hours by train...Thanks sanju , This was indeed required .
can any throw light on the Edappally Kuttipuram 4 lane highway , my brotherinlaw is having land close to the highway side , he is saying current price is close to 5 lac a cent,
does this highway connects North Parur to Main city ... if yes , some time down we can see flats mushrooming towards Parur as its just 1 hr drive from edapally , once highway comes , time will further reduce ...
The point made bold must get top priority....1. Bypass the through traffic on NH-47. Start with an 'inner bypass' using the SP/AP road. Then, by 2020, build the outer bypass Angamaly-Perumbavoor-Puthencruz-Thalayolaparambu-Vechoor-Cherthala.
2. Create a feeder freeway from Kalamassery-Edapally-Bypass-Aroor, with ramps at major intersections.
3. Create an elevated city freeway from Cheranelloor-Highcourt-Menaka-South-Thevara with ramps at major points.
4. Build arteries to CBD.
Is it really a Marine drive guys...Marine means related to sea, its just a water front or a lake drive...watz ur openion guys, dont take it in a wrong way...it may not be possible due to hight restrictions confined to the marinedrive masterplan. Also Marinedrive is in close proximity to southern naval command's air strip.
Glad to see yu back![]()
Its simple, Ernakulam is mainland, Kochi is island!! and the whole district which has this mainland and island is called Ernakulam district.I'm a little confused wrt to the name of the city. While I was making holiday plans to visit Kochi next month, I notice that certain ticketing websites have it liested as Kochi, other as Kochin and still others such as Jet Lite and Indian Railways have it listed as Eranakulum (spelling)
Why are there 3 names to the city, any historical reason for it and what is its Formal name.
So now expectations are high from you....Thank You Sanju.
Actually these are some snaps which I had with me..pics taken from Trinity World Tower..
Oh, i never knew that, thanks for the clarification Dileepji...:cheers:Sanju, IIRC, that landing approach is normally not done. The normal approach is from south.
