SEZ should be introduced somewhere near the L&T Bypass, where the government has planned form an integerated bus stand. Podanur railway station will help people works there. The area surronding the new SEZ should be pre planned thus reducing the congestion after the developement.

Lightings & Street Furnishings
It is sad to write this basic necessity as a suggestion under Smart City. Nevertheless, Coimbatore roads need proper road lightings (both functional & aesthetic). Mettupalayam road, Eachanari ROB etc doesn't have proper lightings for years now. Roads also require Signage & Direction boards (directions towards important places in the city) unlike the few ones present directing towards Kochi & Ooty. Electronic display for signage would be pleasing as well.

More Land for IT sez should be allocated by Government in prime location with easy access to road with very good transport facility. If the IT parks build in Avinashi Road ,Pollachi road and Mettupalayam road it will be good, since we have good transport on these roads for 24 hours.

Energy management (1):
1. The corporation should introduce smart metering and automatic billing system for electricity.
2. The LED streetlights should cover all over the city replacing conventional lighting. The city is witnessing shifting of overhead electric lines to underground and this will increase the visibility in urban aesthetics.
3. Solar power to be used in signals and other amenities. Project should be coordinated with solar city project.

Coimbatore Tirupur Express link:
The central government has announced ‘the Rashtriya Rajmarg Zila Sanjoyokta Pariyojna’ to connect 100 district headquarters. This scheme can be utilized to make direct road connectivity parallel to the rail track between Coimbatore and Tirupur and can be developed as a green way.

Unified smart cards:
There should be provision for multimodal transport with unified ticket or smart cards for bus, rail and ITS. There should be a dedicated cell or unified authority for coordinating the same.
