B(n) = satisfaction rating Grade Crossing Safety - This refers to waiting time, exposure time to vehicles, necessary infra. Motorist Behaviour - Behaviour of motorist towards pedestrians. Scoring Based on Walkability Index
Amenities - Amenities such as benches, street lights, public toilets, trees etc. Quality of Walkability Obstructions Services Index - Permanent and temporary obstructions to pedestrian movement on pathways A ≥ 124 Universally Accessible B < 124 – 106 - Availability, positioning and maintenance of infrastructure for the differently abled. C < 106 – 70 Sense of Security D < 70 – 52 - The general feeling of security against crime, walkability at night etc. on the footpaths. E < 52

KalkajiKalkaji Major Walkability Issues
• Inadequate Footpath Width • Absence footpath • Presence of utilities / street fixtures in walkable width • Encroachment – due to parking and vendors • Improper crossing facilities on intersection • Other issues – surface quality, unwanted material Issue 01: Inadequate Footpath Width
1 2
1 Insufficient footpath width in front of EROS Hotel
Solution: • Converting the unutilized part of carriageway to footpath
2 Insufficient footpath in front of Kalka Mandir Source: As per IRC 103 : 2012 Issue 02: Absence footpath

2
To GK 1 Solution: Footpath is encroached by utilities such as dustbin, junction box, electric pole,etc • Utilities like street lights, signage, gas-line key stone, bollards can be relocated on the buffer space (.6m – 1.5m) provided along the carriageway
2 To GK Issue 04: Encroachment – due to parking and vendors
2 1
1 Footpath encroached by parking
Solution:
• Street vendors can be relocated to spaces where there is extra space available
• Authorized parking is to be demarcated to prevent and enforce the over spilling of parked vehicles
2 Footpath is encroached by parking Issue 05: Other issues – surface quality, unwanted material
1 Along Astha Kunj Park boundary At Nehru Enclave intersection

S.No Minutes Status 1 An auto/taxi prepaid booth is located on the main road while exiting the Nehru Place Metro Noted Station, which is currently under-utilized. It was informed during the meeting that the same is proposed to be shifted within the metro premises for better multi-modal integration at the Metro Station. 2 FOB near the proposed bus-depot is not being utilized at the moment, and the passengers stand Noted on the road to access buses, creating congestion. It was informed during the meeting that the FOB will be extended inside the DTC Bus Depot to allow people to wait inside the terminal and not hamper traffic flow on the carriageway. 3 Astha Kunj Road is heavily encroached by on-street parked vehicles. The proposed FOB (from Incorporated Nehru Place to the complex) may be extended to link with the existing Multi-Level Car Park (MLCP) to encourage people to use this parking facility. 4 The space in front of the Satyam Cinema is heavily encroached with unauthorized on-street DDA has proposed 2 no. parking and taxi pick-up/drop-offs. Provision of designated spaces for the same may be explored. MLCP in Nehru Place Redevelopment Plan, Dedicated Pick and drop areas for Taxi has been proposed as per MMI Plan
5 Issue was raised about the bottleneck created in front of Bhairon Mandir, but it was informed that Noted the same cannot be widened due to non-availability of space. 6 The proposed FOB at Nehru Place Metro Station should be connected at the unpaid part of the Incorporated station (if required, provision of AFC Gates, TVM and EFO may be provided.) 7 The location of FOB support system needs to be planned carefully after checking the availability of Noted land and its ownership.
