North Mada Street as cultural space . . .

North Mada Street now has a character of its own. It is colorful, hyperactive and chaotic.
And it has to do with the Navarathri season when hawkers display and sell an amazing variety of dolls.

So would making North Mada Street at such times of the year make great sense?
Many shoppers say 'yes'.

The street's life may then change dramatically. There will be lots of space for people to walk up and down, the fear of moving cars and bikes will be removed and the street will get a character of its own, making it a special space that lends itself to the culture of the city.

Already, a plan to pedestrianise the three mada veedhis is on the table. If it comes through, there may be only 'one way' traffic on these streets.
