Chennai : Opposing the proposal to construct a multi-storeyed parking lot at Panagal Park and T. Nagar, Pasumai Thayagam, a non-Governmental organisation, on Saturday said only an integrated traffic development system should be attempted to find a solution to the city's traffic congestion. The idea to construct a parking lot at the Park would amount to ignoring the requirements of a vast majority.
More vehicles
The organisation explained that the main reason for the congestion was the explosion in vehicle population. Increasing the number of public transport buses and frequency of train services, improving footpaths and according preference to bicycles would ease the situation. It said construction of parking lots should be regulated and suit the needs of the locality. When countries around the world were trying to find progressive solutions, wrong schemes such as multi-storeyed parking and monorail system were being planned in Chennai, a release from the organisation lamented.
