One of my wish as a longtime Madras vasi I want the Government of Tamil Nadu under able leadership of Amma should take up Cooum River development project similar to Sabarmathi river development project undertaken in Gujarat. you can read more about the project here.
What are my ideas for this
1. Implement strict zoning rules and change zoning laws
2. Deepen Cooum River and De-Silt
3. Make North side of the River for Govt purpose alone. I say this because if you look at this in a centralization perspective would make sense.
4. All sewage joining into cooum river needs to be treated and used for other purposes like Lawn watering, Road side parks, Electricity and industrial purpose.
5.Build Pedestrial Trails and Recereational areas along the river.
6. Build a Marina at the mouth of cooum estuary for luxury yachts and boats.
Let me explain this here little bit more.
Presently the Assembly complex (New and Ft St George) are at the north side of the river. Going little further one could see Rippon building also falls under north side.Further, Govt can build a new offices and move some of the departments to north side of the river. Fine, what is the benefit of this.
One of the important benefit of this would be
All Govt operations will be stationed in one area which is huge benefit for traffic movement and some body coming to visit Govt offices including High Court.
Lets look at what departments are on south side of the river
1. PWD which is just south of the river in Beach Road
2. Department of Education which is in college road
3. Ministers House from Greenways Road
I will be adding more as I find more information about exact location of other departments.
