Unconducive Walking Environment

Pedestrian movement restricted by lack of

design consideration and unorganised

parking.

Unconducive Walking Environment

Pedestrian movement restricted by lack of

design consideration and unorganised

parking.

UTTIPEC

Footpaths are narrow, high, broken,

encroached and hence unusable.

Unconducive Walking Environment

325-480 mm

450-600 mm

Unsafe NMV use: Cycles share same lane as high

speed MV. Absence of NMV

infrastructure.

Signalized crossings missing at most junctions

Unsafe NMV Use UTTIPEC

PARKING

No provision for Cycle –

Rickshaw Parking

Lack of connectivity, Absence of NMT, Pedestrian infrastructure, induces

demand for car usage and parking.

Future Plans & Aspirations: How ready is Dwarka? UTTIPEC

Way Forward…

• Retrofit streets for pedestrian, NMT (cycle/ cycle-rickshaw) safety,

connectivity and equitable distribution of public space.

• Parking Management looking at segregation between Long term and

Short term parking, pricing policy, and parking management by a single

authority as per EPCA guidelines.

• Storm Water management of streets and open spaces.

• Plan for Multi Modal integration based on MRTS checklist.
