Need of Foot over Bridge in the entrance of Adyar Bridge

I was just going through today's newspaper TOI to find any interesting news other than this 2G scam and other boring stuffs.While crawling the paper I was glad to see news about some key proposals of tamilnadu govt like setting up parks in the chennai city,banning plastics in parks etc. I was even more interested to see a key proposal about setting up of 3 foot over bridges (FOB) in chennai.It is a notable feature that the bridges will be set up with lifts for pedestrians.

The first and foremost FOB with lift was set up in sterling road which I have a look at it everyday while going in the bus.It is good that one who cannot climb stairs can use lift and is helpful especially for elders.Apart from this, the key proposal says that 3 other foot over bridges with lifts are yet to be set up in the chennai city.It is fine that the govt. is doing the needy as elections are approaching :)

I thought it would be helpful for the pedestrians if a foot over bridge is set up in the entrance of Thiru vi ka bridge or Adyar bridge.The road that connects that bridge is Durgabai Deshmukh road where Mylapore, Mandaiveli,R.A.Puram residents and other public often access to reach places like Adyar and Besant nagar.This road is one of the busiest roads I have seen as I go by this way everyday.And pedestrians find it very difficult to cross the road all the time as the road never sleeps.

On either side of the road there is Andhra Mahila Sabha Hospital and MGR Janaki College and bus stops too.So the pedestrians like patients, visitors, college students and generally public people find it difficult to cross the road.I myself find hard to cross road inspite of Traffic police manning there.At times he is absent in that place where sometimes pedestrians give hardships to the two wheeler and four wheelers. To control the traffic there is another bridge being under constrution parallel to adyar bridge where public can use it.Hope this bridge eases traffic congestion.Though it would ease traffic, there is still a need of bridge for pedestrians.

Thus as a pedestrian I humbly request the Govt to act wisely and set a foot over bridge in the entrance of adyar bridge too which will be helpful to the public.
