Better footpaths along Chennai Metro stations proposed Plans to improve the pavement along the Metro stations are underway, say officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL). There will be a seamless integration of the footpaths with the entry of stations, with special attention paid to the facilities for a distance of 500 metres. For the next 2.5 km, the footpaths may be developed for the benefit of commuters. “It may be premature to talk about the width and design of the footpaths now. But there will be ramps to make them disabled friendly. Also, we are considering the idea of having ‘tabletop’ crossing, where the footpath would be raised to the road-level, enabling the pedestrians to cross safely while motorists will drive over a ram. This will also serve to reduce the speed of vehicles,”
