The conversation has moved from building flyovers to making the city pedestrian-friendly. It was formally launched in 2011 after which St. Marks Road became the first road to be designed using Tender SURE. “We are exploring the idea of partial pedestrianisation of Church Street for limited hours in a day. “The biggest benefit for walkers has been that redevelopment of city roads based on Tender SURE, has now gained tremendous leadership by both municipal government and state leadership. The guidelines are now being followed for 50 additional Tender SURE roads as well as a Tender SURE “Lite” where only the footpaths are being rebuilt.
