Bangkok may close Kamphaengpetch 3 road to unite public parks

 

 

BANGKOK, 4th December 2018 (NNT) – Bangkok authorities are preparing to hold a referendum on closing off Kamphaengpetch 3 road after completing the renovation of three public parks covering a total 720 rai so that the three may be connected to create a single citywide green space. 

Deputy Bangkok Governor Chakkaphan Piewngam has led an inspection of work to connect Queen Sirikit Park, which covers 196 rai, Wachirabenchatat Park , which covers 375 rai and Chatuchak Park, which covers 155 rai. All three have been restored and are now ready to provide city dwellers with expansive natural space. 

A major inspection of the possibilities will take place in late December before a referendum is held on closing Kamphaengpetch 3 road, which is situated between Wachirabenchatat Park and Chatuchak Park and is often illegally used for parking. Once closed, travel between the three parks would be significantly more convenient. The referendum is likely to take place in January 2019.

Good idea, uniting all of the parks would create a massive green zone but the current arrangement allows for cycling and foot traffic to be separated into different parks. Also a lot of traffic use that road at present, so some thought on how to re-route the traffic would be needed.

Massive green zone covered with massive smoke from vehicles around.
