BMA Urban Planning?

Featured Replies

Why does Bangkok Metropolitan Authority's (BMA) iniative to cover sidewalks with a shelter seem to lack any what we might call "planning"?

 

 

Apart from destroying the existing safe pathway, by digging up large sections of tiles, in-filling with rubble, or cementing over with great imprecision, or simply leaving dangerous holes which are a safety hazard, the new overhead cover removes the ability for drivers on Sathorn Road to see the signage of buildings, businesses, hotels and condos.

This initiative seems to be taking place at a similar (but not coordinated) time that MEA is carrying out another initiative, to move overhead electric cables off the sidewalks.

 

Two different departments of a metropolitan authority seem unable or unwilling to commincate with each other, to coordinate public works.

 

MEA started their project a few months ago, but seem to have dug up areas and not returned to reinstate what they did.

 

It takes a special skill to truly operate the wrong way.

 

Thus it ever was.
