Legend STANDING WAITING FOR TRANSPORT SITTING LYING DOWN PEOPLE ON VEHICLES RESTING PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES CULTURAL ACTIVITIES COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES
There is over crowding of people because of unorganised management of the commercial activity and also because of less space available to accomodate people.
Due to the lack of proper maintenance, the shade under MRTS is used by low income people as a place for lying down
Legend STANDING WAITING FOR TRANSPORT SITTING LYING DOWN PEOPLE ON VEHICLES RESTING PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES CULTURAL ACTIVITIES COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES
Commercial activities that encroach the street make vehicular and pedestrian movement difficult.
Because of existing on-street parking and tree at that location, the two wheelers passing by tend to stop there for a rest.
Cultural activities like temple goers congregate outside this space.
