Afam4eva: ^^ Is that really Detroit? I never knew Detroit had water.

ayswags: We are here,u mean river niger is a sea

omongbatic:
Yes, its Detroit.

Afam4eva: ^^ Is that really Detroit? I never knew Detroit had water.

Abagworo:

Is Detroit not a failed city?

omongbatic: This is Onitsha. How can Anambra leverage this fantastic sea-side spectacle for economic development?

Dudu_Negro:

Any waterfront is a prime land for development. Humankind has always been drawn to the beauty and resource in water.

Onitsha is not on the sea but it is on river and this body of water is River Niger; you want to promote it as a "river front", and not anything else.

Some opportunities

First and foremost, the city must issue a land zoning ordinance to create a public all-access water/land use space.

Second, they should map out a 5mile stretch of the river front for zoned development.

1. Fortify the entire city shoreline with a concrete embankment that stands no more than 6feet above the tidal level.

2. Erect piers and ramps at intervals along the reinforced shoreline.

3. Build a right of way boulevard that runs no more than 4miles the length of the riverfront, with a half mile buffer on the North and South end of it.

4. The boulevard should have sitting benches innermost to the river, then walkway, followed by bike paths, next is time-metered parking (allowing for no longer than 30mins parking), then last layer on the boulevard is a roadway (a one lane, one way access).

5. Beyond the boulevard should be building structures and retail space, so that what separates the structures from the river is the multi-purpose boulevard.

6. The City must erect a non-age restrictive Arcade with multi purpose catering and entertainment and plazas ( eateries, fashion, grooming, cinemas, telecomm, etc...)

7. The zoned land should be heavily taxed and offered in open bid for private investors.

8. The zone must have a catchy name like "Niger RiverFront Business District" or something similar. Please, do not use Biafra!

9. Organize weekly events with private sponsorships, make it family friendly. Example: a karaoke sing along to local music; a cooking competition to see who is best in local cuisine.
Shut the roadway on weekends that the events will hold so the events are actually staged on the road surface.

10. Hire me as consultant.

IGBO-SON:
Elect Soludo.....shikena!

If Anambrans like let them fuc/kup next year; and then we'll witness another 8 years of 'laying of solid foundations for the next in-coming gov't to build on'!

asha 80: what if pdp does not pick soludo?

omongbatic: Can it be turned into this (Detroit)?

geeez: Is that a sea side or stream side?

Learn from Lagos before you move to Detriot

omongbatim:

You do not learn from half-bakedness you learn from the best.

IGBO-SON:


^^^I suppose they'd then go for a better qualified candidate.....could you help me with a name or two?

geeez:

[s]That's why Lagos is so good you guys keep trooping in[/s]

bushwailo: Great potential !
But as long as you keep voting for MASSOB and voting governors because of what the Pope said
You will continue to wallow as in backwardness.

You can also vote for APGA governor,
A party incapable of running itself talkless of a state.

Most importantly such developments don't come to dull people.
All your people of quality are outside the state transforming other places.

AnambraDota:
Onitsha City Waterfront. Any hope in the horizon, I don't think so.
