‘It ran through undeveloped areas; was financially unviable'
The State government has decided to drop one of the four monorail lines that were supposed to be built in the city. While originally an ambitious 111-km long Phase-I network was proposed to be constructed the revised target means the monorail grid would be only 57-km.
If all the 5.75 lakh cars registered in the city were to be parked on-street parallel to one another, the area that the vehicles occupy would be as much as seven per cent of Chennai. As existing regulations on parking are inadequate and the enforcement is lax, most of the vehicles in the city eat into precious space on the road.
Parking zones will be clearly demarcated
The Chennai City Traffic Police (CCTP) will soon start trials on various roads to devise a broad set of guidelines for regulating on-street parking.
Parking zones will be clearly demarcated with yellow paint, bollards or other types of barricades.
