East Kochi?

East Kochi is the area bound by NH-47, NH-
49, MC Road and Perumbaoor-Puthencruzroad. It is anchored by the Industrial parks,
viz CSEZ, Infopark and Smart City. The
western end of this area is highly
developed, almost to the level of saturation,and the potential for the development to
grow eastward is enormous.

Current State
Anchored by CSEZ and Infopark
Feeder area is generally to the west of the
parks
Linked to the city proper and NH-47 by twohighways, which are already inadequate
The feeder area is almost saturated
The feeder area is shared with the city
proper.

Immediate Future
Smart City and Infopark 2nd stage are
imminent.
The feeder area is already saturated Links to the west is already choked
The only way is to grow further east.

Where?
The area bound by the Kumarapuram Road,Karimugal Road, and Seaport/Airport road
is the immediate vicinity of the IT parks.
This will become high density residential
area, as the feeder to the IT development.
Already a lot of residential developments are
coming in the region.
The mini-industrial areas of Synthite Park,Rubber Park, and Mudickal are just beyond
this area.

Then?
As the demand for the feeder area increases,
the development will grow to the east,
slowly reaching the PP Road and beyond. Naturally, shopping/commercial also will
grow in the area.
A new suburban city will get created to the
east of Infopark/Smart City.

Why Another City?
The new feeder area is far off from the
current city
The arteries are choked. People dont wantthe trouble of going across the choke point
of the IT city.
There is no space in the city to grow.

Do We Want Another Nightmare?
Do we want a haphazard development?
Do we want to first make buildings, then
tear them down for roads?
Do we want all the land acquisitionproblems?
Do we want all the trouble of building
without road infrastructure?
I guess not! We should act NOW!

The Ring and Radial Roads
I propose a ring and radial road system for
East Kochi.
This is based on the current main roads. Provides ample grid coverage to the area, so
that no point will be more than a few
kilometres from a main artery.
Modeled on similar systems used
worldwide

Roads Proposed
Two ring roads, Inner Ring and Outer Ring.
Four radial roads. Radial 1,2,3 and 4
Centred at the Infopark Area
Fans out from south-east to north.
Addresses future needs.

Inner Ring Road.
The Inner ring road starts from NH-47 at
Aluva, and follows existing roads to
Choondy, Pukkattupady, Kizhakkambalam,Pallikkara, Karimugal, Ambalamugal, NH-
49 and joins back NH-47 at Kundannoor.
8/4/2019 East Kochi
13/20
Outer Ring Road
The outer ring road starts from Angamaly,
follows MC Road, Perumbavoor-
Puthencruz road, and joins NH-49.
If the Expressway gets realized in the same
alignment, then it can be the Outer Ring
Road.

First Radial Road
The first radial road starts from HMT, and
proceeds via NAD to Asokapuram, reaching
Inner Ring Road.
8/4/2019 East Kochi
15/20
Second Radial Road
The second radial road starts from Edapally,
anf follows existing roads to Pukkattupady,
onto Chembarakky to Perumbavoor
8/4/2019 East Kochi
16/20
Third Radial Road
The third radial road starts from Kakkanad,
follows the proposed Kakkanad-
Kothamangalam highway, to meet OuterRing Road at Pattimattom

17/20
Fourth Radial Road.
The fourth radial road starts from
Chithrapuzha Bridge, goes via Infopark,
Brahmapuram, Pinarmunda, Morakkala,Parakode, Pazhamthottam and meets the
outer ring road at Pulinchode.
This is the least developed of the roads.

Radial Extension
The radial roads should be developed into
arteries leading into neighbouring towns.
The proposed Kakkanad-Kothamangalamhighway already serves that purpose.
It is proposed to extend Fourth Radial road to
Muvattupuzha via Kadayiruppu-Mazhuvannoor-Mangalathunada-Nellad.
