The Highways Department will make a fresh design for the roundtana at Periyar statue on Anna Salai. The size of the oblong feature has been reduced to provide smoother riding comfort and better visibility to motorists.
The cement concrete wall that had come up in the middle of the busy road has been removed. This follows a report in these columns on September 4 about motorists being not comfortable with its size and shape. “Apart from the media report, there were complaints from the public as well as suggestions from the police stating that the roundtana was too huge and taking up too much space,” said an official.
