Coimbatore: Walking on the Cross Cut Road at Gandhipuram might not be as hectic as it is now in a few years as the city corporation is planning to make the stretch pedestrian-friendly with the help of German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
Redesigning works are being carried out on the road to showcase it to the public and get their feedback. The purpose of the project is to make the road a vibrant retail space and make people enjoy the time spend there, a corporation official said.
Due to heavy traffic, works are being carried out from 10.30pm to 5am. GIZ has deployed 10 workers to divert vehicles during the working hours. The work is expected to be completed by Monday.
