I have had to travel through Porvorim more often than I would have liked. Each time I am struck by the chaos and wondering does it have to be this way.
Do we plan for the fastest completion time or as fast as possible while minimizing the inconvenience during construction?
Do we even consider the inconvenience and implicit costs caused by the chaos during construction?
Does the planning even include the impact on the people who need to use these roads and have no alternate option during the construction? I think we are invisible to the planners. Just a group to be tolerated while a great and bright future opens up to us.
I am certain that after the flyover is completed, I will again be able to reach the Dabolim airport from Mapusa in 50 minutes, like I used to do when I moved to Goa 25 years ago.
Meanwhile I crave for a future paradise where I can walk without fear or looking over my shoulder keeping track of traffic behind me. Travel by public transport and not have to worry about where to park.
Oh, well. If I had money, I could have moved to Europe....
