Hello great Steem geographer,
special thanks to: @bight-obias, @belenguerra, @badshal for this wonderful contest about street. I am elated to let the great geographers be inform about my street. I will expound it under the following points: Introduction, Geographical layout, Developmental Agenda, Progressive Agenda, Challenges, and Benefit.
INTRODUCTION
Agric- Bus stop
Isawo-owutu road is a state road located in agric ikorodu city. The road is a busy road because it connect several towns together. They all make use of it. It is the center road connecting all these towns.
During, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regime as Lagos state governor the road was first constructed between 2002-2003, I remember then I came to asolo for private GCE. It was N20 then, from agric to asolo, now due to inflation and economy recession is N100 during day; night N150 or N200 from agric bus stop.
Presently, the road is under construction due to expansion. The main purpose for that is to link the road to Lagos-ibadan expressway. Even from Isawo one can see the back of RCCG camp. The church has purchased lands to the community and RCCG are planning to construct road that will link to the camp. This will be alternative routine road to the camp.
When it was first constructed it was very good but due to poor drainage system, the road became devastated and degraded by intense rainfall, pressure, heat, and several human activities on the road cause the devastation. The worst part is alfar river, we are lucky this year because of change of climatic condition we would have experience river overflowing its bank.
GEOGRAPHICAL LAYOUT
Isawo-owutu road is link to ikorodu road in agric bus stop. isawo-owutu road is interstate road that link to Lagos-Ibadan expressway this is the main reason for expansion. Also Igbo-Olomu way which is along isawo-owutu link to sagamu road. Isawo-owutu postal code is 104221 for owutu and 104224 for isawo. Isawo-owutu road is on (latitude 6.6;longitude 3.5).
Igbo-Olomu Road.
Igbo-Olomu Junction
DEVELOPMENTAL AGENDA
The agenda for the road development has being on plan since ex-governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Several efforts was made by the communities developmental committees. The cause of the first devastation of the road was due to poor drainage system.
Which the people cry to government for help but it was during ex-governor Amdode that the reconstruction and expansion begins, the project is till ongoing as you can see in the pictures. It going to be interlock road due to the purpose it will serve as interstate road.
Isawo-Owutu Road under-Construction
PROGRESSIVE AGENDA
The road being the busy type and major road connecting people from agbede transformer, igbo-Olomu, owutu, isawo to mention few. Is proposed to be structurely design and beautify to add aesthetic values to the road. Also future interstate road link will be constructed along Igbolomu way because it link to sagamu. The idea behind it was to reduce pressure and traffic congestion along Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Construction of Overhead Bridge Across Alfar River
CHALLENGES
Presently is not easy to move on the road especially early morning before 12noon. The best time to move is 5am or 6am if ones' have important place to go. If not by 2:00pm the road is less busy. Also, around 8:00pm to 10:00pm the road is not safe to move due to high traffic congestion, presence of bottleneck etc.
Transport fare is always alarming especially during raining season. Also some hoodlums rob on the road during traffic. I have witness one in which they point gun to a guy in Toyota Camry and ask him for money. So due to this most car owner do wine-up their glass.
BENEFIT
Proposed Mechanic Village Bus stop
Proposed NNPC Bus Stop
Proposed Achiever's Bus Stop
Proposed Ori Okuta Bus Stop
Proposed Mobile Bus-stop
Proposed Alasalatu Bus-stop
Proposed RSA Bus-stop
Proposed Asolo Bus-stop

Presently no benefit but it has future benefit in the future. Such as:
-Easy movement to Redemption Camp
-Free flow of movement to agric bus stop.
-Many banks are already constructed and few are in operation already such as UBA, FCMB etc.
