Driving on Marine Drive in darkness not very rosy

Anyone traveling along Marine Drive when darkness reigns will notice that the two ends coming under the control of the CMC are in total darkness with the street lamp-posts acting only as decorations.The stretch from the Colpetty railway station to the Bambalapitiya railway station and the stretch from Vivekananda Road to Wasala Road are adorned with street lamps which do not shed light.

Even in the middle stretch, the light shed is dim, hazy and rosy.Kudos to the DMMC under whose control the stretch from Wasala Road to the Dehiwela railway station falls, for actually switching on the bright street lights. It is very safe for motorists and a pleasure to drive when darkness reigns.
