As many as three parks including a peacock-themed park signifying the presence of peacocks along Uyyakondan banks will be established.

The four-level parking space to decongest commercial streets would come up in one-acre space of the TCC available over the West Boulevard road near Singarathope.
The multi-level parking will come up with a facility for the TCC to rent 26 commercial units, through which the maintenance of the parking facility can be carried out. Officials said that civil work for the two projects might be taken up by the yearend.
