EVERYONE is talking about improving Panjim these days. Here's something
that flies from the top of my hat...
o GIVE PANJIM a efficient urban transport system.
The shambles of public transport means everyone uses
their own vehicles, making town transport a mess.
o GET ALL the buildings and homes to be compulsorily
white-washed or painted once a year.
o PEDESTRIANISE the more shopping-oriented areas, for
easy walking access (e.g. 18th June Road)
o SUCH ROADS could allow for roadside cafes, provided
there is no excessive clutter
o EXCESSIVE HORN-USE by vehicle drivers should be
strictly fined
o PANJIM BADLY needs more playgrounds for children
o OUR LIBRARIES are dying... specially reading-rooms
for newspapers/mags which once played a good role
o BAND-STANDS need to be resuscitated for entertainment
of the citizen and encouragement to the musicians
o COMMUNICATIONS IN Goa's state capital is in poor state.
Buses leaving Panjim wind up operations by around 8 pm
or earlier. Last-night buses need to continue later
into the night, at least connecting main towns. More
post-offices / postboxes would help improve
communications in Panjim.
o PANJIM needs (i) a good map (ii) specialist shopping
centres (selling traditional products) (iii) permanent
shopping fair (iv) conference facilitation centre
(iv) Locker-facilities for passing-through tourists
(v) noise-pollution controls (vi) improved water
transport, e.g. on the Betim side (vii) listings of
what's on (in the culture field specially) in the town...
Does anyone know Sanjit Rodrigues' email? Perhaps Goanet could send in all
their suggestions to him too. FN
