The Old Bus Stand in Thanjavur is all set to get a facelift with the Corporation deciding to redevelop it under the Smart Cities Mission of the Central government. The nearby terminus meant for buses bound for Thiruvaiyaru would make way for a parking-cum-commercial area.
While the Old Bus Stand is to be demolished and reconstructed at a cost of Rs. 14.88 crore, the Thiruvaiyaru bus terminus would be redeveloped on an outlay of Rs. 13.84 crore. Both the projects are expected to be completed within two years from the date of commencement.
According to Corporation sources, the old bus stand is spread over 2.9 acres of land and handles about 200 buses which make about 1,900 trips to various destinations every day.
The bus stand has 32 bus bays and 45 shops. The redeveloped bus stand will have 34 bus bays for moving vehicles and five ‘idle’ bus bays. The number of shops would go up to 52.
The bus stand will have modern amenities such as information desk, public conveniences, cloak room and waiting area.
The Thiruvaiyaru bus terminus, which is situated on an area of about 1.77 acres, will be converted into a multi-level parking-cum-commercial area. The parking area will be in the stilt floor spread over about 1,703 square metres. It will accommodate 437 two-wheelers and 58 four-wheelers. Above the parking area will be the commercial centre with 38 shops, as per the Detailed Project Report prepared by the consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle.
On Thursday, Collector A. Annadurai convened a meeting with officials and traders to discuss the project and temporary alternative site for the shops. He instructed the Corporation officials to take into account the representations made by the traders.
Corporation Commissioner (in charge) Kalimuthu, Chief Engineer Rajakumaran and other officials were present.
