The canal development project holds water for a stretch one kilometer, through out the year and allows people to be closer to the water level through the lower promenade. It connects the two sides of the city through three new pedestrain bridges across the canal. The project includes a 500 meter long public garden along the canalfront for use by people of all ages, providing the much-needed green space in the city. Apart from this, there are conveniently located commercial facilities including 120 shops, an informal market, vegetable market and a food vendors’ zone. To support all these utilities there is a public plaza, parking and toilets.
