Meeting Summary: Plan of action

Click on this image to get a brief understanding of what we're planning to do:

In addition to folks from our office, SumTotal Systems, we also had Major Shiva Kiran, from Sukuki Gensys, join in.

Plan of action:
1. Get help of the Police to move autos from the corner in front of Shilparam to a little further ahead.
2. Create an Auto Stand in front of Wipro that will be used for a drop-pick up point for people from CT. No autos to be allowed to stop in front of CT.
3. Paint zebra crossings and lanes on all 4 roads. The colour should be something other than white, preferably fluorescent orange- so that there is immediate impact for people who see it (something different always gets noticed).
4. Get a sign board on the arch next to Wipro which will say something like " Change lanes here to turn left at CT junction".
5. Get CT to allow us to put up banners along their wall.
6. Proposed names for this initiative(pick from these or ask folks to come up with more names):
  • Left Lane Free!
  • Free the Left Lane!
  • Right is Right!
  • And I just came up with this(in keeping with techiegiri): Left Outer Join!
7. Logo still to be decided. Once points 5 and 6 are decided, T shirts to be printed.
8. Rope in a radio station in this initiative and if possible, get an article into the papers.
9. Once, we're set with this, volunteers to stand at CT on weekdays from 930 to 1030am and 6pm to 7pm, extending back up to 50-100 metres.

Hi Guys,

I saw you today (AUG-21-2007) in the morning near CT at about 10:20 AM. It was really a sight to see many vehicles with the intention to turn left being able to do so even when the Traffic light is Red for people who wish to go straight.

Good work guys, but I think perisistence and patience would be the key words for you.

As for me I will vow not to use the left side of the road when i wish to go straight at junctions.

Thank You Guys & Cheers for the good you are doing,

Surya Kiran.
