Nongprue to rip up Pattanakarn Road in July

 

PATTAYA:--Although still bruised from the Soi Siam Country Club Road debacle, Nongprue officials are now preparing to rip up Pattanakarn Road to put in new sidewalks.

 

Engineering director Thong­chai Kam­langthai said Feb. 9 that the 10-million-baht project to clear four kilometers of the thoroughfare’s footpaths will begin this summer.

 

Already, 90 percent of the illegal advertising signs and billboards have been removed. The remainder are on private property, he said.

The sub-district is currently taking bids to rebuild sidewalks on both sides of Pattanakarn, with the paperwork expected to be signed by April and actual roadwork to begin after June.

 

Thongchai swore that the project will not adversely impact traffic as did the sub-district’s botched renovation of Soi Siam Country Club, which took more than three years and resulted in bankruptcies of many businesses along the destroyed street.

 

He did admit, however, it will create dust and debris.

Officially rainy season is July through October?

Just askin!

Just by looking as his photo, I trust him 100%

This would be the same road that the have just finished spending a couple of years ripping up for piping  and putting a new road surface down.

For sidewalks read parking places, sites for food vendors and motor bike paths.

Uh, huh. And he hasn't the first idea how to control it, and less interest, no doubt, in finding out.
