Pedestrians elbowed off the pavements at Third Cross street in Kasturba Nagar

FEDARA seeks more bollards to be placed at the entry and exit points of footpaths to keep vehicles at bay

The Federation of Adyar Residents’ Association (FEDARA) has sought measures to keep vehicles and makeshift stalls off the pavements at Kasturba Nagar Third Cross Street. C Ramakrishnan of FEDARA has remarked that these pedestrian facilities require more bollards to be installed at their entry and exit points so that motorists cannot easily take the vehicles on to them for parking. The presence of makeshift stalls on these pavements is another irritant for residents, who point out that the pavements have become vestigial, with much of it out of bounds for residents.
