Looking for Leaders - continued...

Abhinay, Rahul and I met the Additional DCP (Traffic) for Cyberabad, Mr. Ashok Reddy today to discuss about our plan. He really liked the idea and has asked us to submit a proposal stating what we want to do and how we want to do it.
We hope to submit the proposal by next week. Meanwhile, here's how you can help:

• Spread the word - chances of this project being successful get better if more people are aware of it.
• Speak to your HR/powers-that-be about pitching in with donations.
• Volunteer to manage this project within your company. You don't even have to step on to the road, just make sure that your company's employees are aware of this project and are willing to try this experiment that is good for everyone.
• If you know any higher ups in any FM channels or newspaper companies that would be willing to become media partners for this project, please pass on their details to us.

Please post your comments.

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.
