The Ernakulam District Tourism Promotion Council is all set to kick-start work on three projects worth over Rs.5.50 crore.
The first is to revitalise the ‘Triveni Sangamam' project in Muvattupuzha, which is expected to cost Rs.2.47 crore in the first phase. The main components are 500-m-long walkways on either side of the river, retaining walls to reinforce the banks and the construction of a view point on the shore.
Expected in phase two is a second walkway, a pedestrian bridge (a hanging bridge) linking either side of the river and a track that would link the walkway with the park maintained by the municipality. This would provide a total of 1 km of walkway.
The beautification of Panampilly Nagar mooted a few months ago is all set to get a boost with Benny Behanan, MLA, taking it up with Kerala Tourism's working group.
“Here, landscaped walkways would be constructed in between the main and service road of the residential colony, on either side. Our aim is to make it a model street since most people do not have an idea of how to optimally use space to green up the precincts. Canopy trees, lights and benches too are included in the project,” said T.N. Jayasankar, the DTPC secretary.
The Rs.1.17 crore project would cover the stretch from Manorama Junction to Passport Office Junction. Residents' associations are expected to pool in with help in maintaining the walkway.
