Sir,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed Rail Coach Restaurant at Vivekananda Park, opposite Vontikoppal Police Station (as reported in SOM on Nov. 7). Although the concept of a unique dining experience is appealing, the practical implications of this location are worrisome.

This intersection is already known for severe traffic congestion and the absence of dedicated parking for the restaurant will likely worsen the situation. Visitors may be forced to park along the roadside, leading to increased traffic chaos and potential safety hazards for pedestrians.

I urge the Railway authorities to reconsider this proposal and identify alternative locations that can better accommodate the anticipated foot traffic and parking demands.
