Figure 4.1 Virar – Dahanu Road Suburban Rail Corridor Alignment The details of stations of Virar – Dahanu Road Suburban Rail Corridor alongwith their respective landuse, catchment areas and interchanges with other systems are described in the following paragraphs. 4.2.1 Virar Virar is the first station of the proposed corridor . The surrounding landuse near the station is a mix of commercial, semi public and residential. The connecting roads to the station are Veer Savarkar Road, Bazaar Road and Manvel Pada Road. The major landmark within the catchment of the station includes Virar Municipal Corporation. Road based public transport is primarily provided by buses and supported by autos .The Station has five passenger entries , three in east and two in west. The pictorial depiction of traffic dispersal and related issues of Virar station are presented in Figure 4.2. 4.2.2 Vaitarna It is located about 8.4 km north of Virar station. It is accessible by Vaitarna station road. The landuse on either side of the station is characterized by small pockets of residential area, industrial and large undeveloped open areas / water bodies (Vaitarna River). The Station has one passenger entry on eastern side and an informal one on the western side. The Region is expected to attract new employment and increase in habitation with the working of ‘Middle Vaitarna Water Supply Project – dam’ on Vaitarna River at Kochale village which will store water for supply and generate electricity from hydropower. The level of anticipated urban development near the station in future years in expected be to be significant. The pictorial depiction of traffic dispersal and related issues of Vaitarna Station are presented in Figure 4.3.

4.2 PLANNING FOR INTERCHANGE FACILITIES

4.2.1 It is necessary to plan for inter-modal integration at major interchange stations. The proposed inter-modal integration measures have the following objectives;  To facilitate efficient transfer and dispersal of passengers from/ to the stations  To provide for effective inter-modal interchange of the passengers with the feeder modes including walk 4.2.2 In conjunction with the projected ridership, planning of inter-modal integration is carried out for the year 2041. 4.2.3 The existing Virar –Dahanu Rail Corridor carries passenger traffic volume reaching sectional passenger load levels of around 5700 PHPDT and station loads upto 8100 passengers during peak hours. Majority of the sub-urban rail passengers walk to/ from the Railway Stations. However, a significant percentage also depends on buses and IPTs for feeder mode to/ from the stations. 4.2.4 The modal distribution of the feeder trips at the station for the proposed system is likely to remain largely the same as presently observed at the major stations such as Virar, Palghar, Boisar and Dahanu Road. However, the quantum of passenger dispersal volumes in the station areas would increase significantly in the future. Although majority of people will walk to/ from the stations, for ensuring adequate future provision for Bus/ IPT passenger facilities, a relatively higher proportion of passengers have been assumed (18 – 28 % of total station passenger loads) to perform the feeder trips by Bus/ IPT modes at the proposed stations. 4.2.5 With the increase in passenger traffic dispersing via the road network for their feeder trips, it is vital that adequate traffic dispersal facilities are available at the stations in terms of capacity of roads, footpaths/ pedestrian facilities, bus stops, IPT stands, Pick-Drop Areas and Parking to cater to the projected requirements. 4.2.6 The present transport infrastructure and dispersal facilities would need to be augmented to handle the additional volumes. Up-gradation of walkways, pedestrian cross- over facilities, new/ augmented bus/ IPT stands, planned pick-up/ drop-off areas, parking facilities and increased frequencies of public transport are the prominent measures envisaged for this purpose. 4.2.7 Station area plans with inter-modal transport integration facilities have been prepared at conceptual level for the nine existing stations along the Corridor (Tables 4.4 to 4.12 and Figures 4.11 to 4.19).
