REVIVING a once vibrant street in the 90s is not an easy job with the rising number of mega malls and supermarket offering more alternatives and comfort to visitors. Fortunately the committee of India Street pedestrian mall came up with a simple but brilliant solution to restore the glory of the historical buildings – a roof.
Proposed in 2010 during the annual general meeting, the project was approved not long ago and works are now in progress to install a cool looking modern roof which gives shoppers the convenience and comfort of shopping on the streets no matter rain or shine. The million-ringgit project is expected to be completed two weeks before Hari Raya this year.
