Lots of place to Park, no place to walk :-(

Reclaim your right to walk. An urge to all civic bodies that can make a change. Kindly have a look at the condition of most pedestrian walk ways in and around Chennai. Most of them have been claimed by business to allow their customers to park their two wheelers. Whilst the road in itself is used to park cars, mostly, where will we walk.? For instance, in Annanagar 2nd Avenue, near the HDFC Bank

, the complete pavement has been taken over by the bank, Odyssey, a retail store next to it, Chroma, another retail giant and host other smaller retailers, to allow their customer to park. With a bus stand near by, where can we "walkers" walk safely.? Along with the speeding buses and cars on the road.?
