Modal Conflict - The extend of conflict between pedestrians and vehicles Walkability Index: QOS : ∑ A(n) * B(n) Availability of Walking Paths - It reflects the need for, availability, condition and continuity of A(n) = importance weights walking paths. 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

The Stage-I proposals submitted by the consultant were found in order. For the next stage of 1 submission, the consultant will prepare a report highlighting the major interventions proposed by them in order to achieve the intent of walkability.

The consultant was asked to highlight all the proposals integrated with the WalkPlan for better 2 Integrated understanding. The consultant was asked to share the plans with all the concerned road - owning agencies, OTC, 3 Shared Traffic Police, DMRC, etc

The consultant will also prepare a development plan of the entire stretch showing the existing 4 and proposed layout side-by-side in the same drawing. An illustration for graphical representation is Prepared attached as Annexure- 'B'.

A transformer located along MB Road covered the width of the footpath and a part of the carriageway. 5 It was suggested that the DTL/BSES should explore alternate options for design or relocation of the Incorporated said transformer, as it presents a hazard on site. The proposal of provision of an IPT stand in the existing parking of the MalviyaNagar Metro Station 6 Incorporated needs approval/ NOC from the CE, General, DMRC before moving ahead with the proposal. The proposal of widening of a footpath taking additional space from the existing parking of the Saket 7 Metro Station needs approval/ NOC from the CE, General, DMRC before moving ahead with the Incorporated proposal.

S. No Minutes Status 1 As the traffic proposed widening of footpaths will have no effect on the existing width of carriageways on all Noted the roads, it appears unlikely that it will create any hindrance on the smooth movement of traffic. 2 The plan proposes replacing guardrails with bollards on the entire footpath stretch along with paved Complied along with provision shoulders. This may be promote roadside parking as people will tend to avoid authorized parking spaces, of railing of height 1.2m on creating congestion. Further, pedestrians may cross the road from any place on footpath leading to accidents. median to avoid random In view of the same, it may be proposed that the bollards are only installed at zebra crossings as well as crossing of pedestrian and entry/exit of footpaths and guardrails are used for the remaining length of footpaths in order to discourage provision of bollards with road side parking and promote pedestrian safety. 1.2m wide refuse space on median at proposed designated crossings. Proposed ANPR Cameras for challaning of un-authorized parking 3 A concrete proposal for relocation of street vendors to be provided, as lack of clarity may result in shifting of Incorporated bottleneck from one point to another. 4 Similarly, the location for shifting of Dhalaos and transformer should also be demarcated.

Comments from SDMC

S. Minutes Status No 1 5 meter width for left turning vehicle (from Westend Marg) is less. Also, shown geometry Incorporated of the island heavy vehicle cannot turn easily. Please refer IRC SP 41 for geometry.

2 The left turning from Press Enclave Marg to Rashid Road has been closed in the proposal. Incorporated This will make a lot of wrong turn activities. Existing entry to Rashid Road has been retained, and table top is provide to facilitate safe pedestrian movement.

3 Two-way hazard marker to be placed at the tip of the hazard. Also, the hazard marker is Incorporated upside down.

4 Tactile Tiles can continue on the Table top as well. Incorporated

5 Dustbin right at the intersections to be avoided. Incorporated Proposals

Part A • IPT Stand circulation improvement • Bus stop relocation • Intersection improvement • Table top at property Access

Part B • Pedestrian plaza at Saket Metro station (Saket side) • Parking bays at Mehrauli- Badarpur Road • Bus stop and Dhalao relocation

Part C • Intersection Improvements • Pedestrian plaza at Saket Metro station (Saket side) • Parking bays at Mehrauli- Badarpur Road • Bus stop, Transformer & Dhalao relocation • Designated Vendor Zones

Part D • Provision of Footpath with a minimum width of 1.8m
