World Bank Document Environmental and Social Impact Assesment Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal Project [Executive Summary] Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized On behalf of the Project Management Unit Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply and Housing Facilities December 2019 Public Disclosure Authorized 0 | P a g e 1. Project Introduction and Background The Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (KMTT) Project is initiated by the Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply and Housing Facilities, Sri Lanka, with an estimated cost of US $ 70 million. Project area: The project area will encompass: the current Good Shed Bus Stand (GSBS) situated in the heart of the Kandy city; railway land adjacent to the GSBS and William Gopallawa Mw, S.W R D Bandaranayake Mw which belongs to the Road Development Authority; and a small portion of private lands. A total area of approx. 8 acres encompassing the KMTT site and 500m from the perimeter of the site has been considered as the direct impact area. Adjacent land features: The project site is surrounded by a densely built landscape with significant urban activities including important civic facilities such as the Kandy Railway Station, Kandy old and new Post Offices, numerous Government offices, and several commercial buildings. A number of private buildings can also be found along the site’s northern border. In addition, there are number of utility and service structures located in the project area, such as electricity lines, water supply, storm water drains and telephone lines. Meda Ela, the main stormwater drainage canal that runs through the city, traverses underneath the project site as a tunnel and opens up at the end of the project site flowing southwards and eventually discharges to the Mahaweli River. 2. Project Objective and Components The objective of the project is to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and safety for public transport users of the KMTT. It consists of three components including: Component 1: Development of Kandy Multimodal Transport Terminal (US$70 million), that will involve construction of a terminal building and bus parking facilities, a 150-meter-long skywalk, allowing pedestrians to move safely between the railway station, hospital and KMTT, development of pedestrian- friendly public space, and diversion of Meda Ela, the urban storm water drainage canal. Component 2: Urban Integration and Road Safety Improvements around KMTT (US$1 million), involves several studies including pedestrian-friendly measures around KMTT, transit-oriented development in the surrounding neighborhood, and road safety improvement study. Component 3: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building (US$4 million) The KMTT is expected to handle 330,000 passenger per day with over 5,000 bus trips from 193 bus routes mainly from 3 bus corridors. There will be an IT-based Terminal Operating system to control bus operation as well as to provide essential information to passengers with respect to time of departure and location of the respective bus bay. Out of 5,000 bus trips, around 2,100 will terminate at the KMTT boarding and alighting bays. All other bus trips will be converted to touch-and-go trips. With this rearrangement, demand for bus parking within city (which is a main reason for congestion) will be significantly reduced. 3. Project Justification 1 | P a g e The project is justified based on findings of comprehensive transport studies carried out by the Road Development Authority in 2011 and subsequently by the World Bank funded Strategic Cities Development Project (SCDP) in 2014. The studies identified traffic congestion due to improper public transport management as one of the key challenges faced by Kandy city and recommended public transport and traffic management strategies aimed at reducing congestion in the city, of which KMTT is a key one. The proposed location of the KMTT, the city’s current central bus terminal, has been selected based on its strategic siting within the city and transport connectivity to be able to serve a large commuter population. 4. Project Description: The terminal has been designed to meet international standards of Passenger Terminals and Transportation Facilities. It includes provision for 2% increase in the volume of commuters per year over the next 5 years and a corresponding increase in the volume of public transport handled by the facility. In brief, the KMTT will comprise of the following: Building Purpose Brief description component Main To facilitate and provide Three-story building interconnected through ramps, Terminal bus services and elevators and lifts with a roof garden and basement floor. Building transport terminal Ground floor: Maintenance bays, emergency vehicle bays, facilities to a large bus admin offices, information center, commercial outlets, volume of commuters. food court, rest areas for drivers. 1st Floor and Ground floor: Facilities for bus operation, 13 Touch-and-Go bays, 32 boarding and alighting bays, 2 bays for maintenance and 94 bus parking slots for bus operation. 2nd floor: Facilities for passenger movement (e.g., ticketing machines, rest areas, waiting lounges) and other passenger facilities (e.g., mini banks, baby care rooms, pharmacy) Rooftop: Public area for cultural, entertainment & commercial activities In addition, there will be underground pedestrian walkways providing commuters access to Sirimavo Bandaranayake Mawatha and William Goppallawa Mawatha. Skywalk To facilitate pedestrian A 150m long walkway stretching from old Peradeniya Road movement between to William Gopallawa Road, and will extend up to Kandy main roads, KMTT and Teaching Hospital, opening up an important access for Kandy Railway station patients and hospital visitors. The skywalk is connected to second floor of KMTT main building. Parking To provide parking, Parking building (for 40 vehicles and 40 three wheelers) building fueling points and other established outside the main KMTT building with easy logistic services needed accessibility to and from the arrival and departure areas of by KMTT. main KMTT building for the benefit of passengers. All these structures will be accommodated within the land area designated for the KMTT. Once operational, passenger movements within KMTT is estimated at 330,000 persons per day. Nearly 65,000 passengers will terminate their journeys at KMTT, and an equal number will wait inside terminal area 2 | P a g e for boarding the long route buses. Furthermore, around 100,000 passengers will alight from touch-and- go buses and will dwell briefly around the KMTT complex while an equal number will wait in this area on the designated platforms to board the touch-and-go buses. KMTT is deigned to obtain the ‘Green building certification’ from the Urban Development Authority (UDA) with the following features considered as part of design criteria for construction and operation. Energy efficiency Energy saving is a key criterion considered in the electrical design for KMTT. Some of the energy saving measures included are: • Occupancy controls to turn off lights when the space is unoccupied • Maximized day lighting to eliminate electric lighting (light pipes, skylights, etc) • Efficient lighting & equipment for overall reduction in energy usage (LEDs) • Lighting designed to minimize light spilling outside of the KMTT • Exterior lighting designed to comply with dark sky standards • Light dependent relays (LDR) to control lighting of public areas and local passive infra-red (PIR) occupancy sensors to control lighting for washrooms • Solar power generation with optimal use of roof areas. Water Efficiency Main supply will be from the Kandy City Water Supply - 325m3/day • Inclusion of low flow fixtures in rest rooms and low flush toilet systems via a dual flush system • Inclusion of low flow urinals, wash basins with water saving pipes • Rainwater harvesting (with a storage capacity of 380 m3 ) for non-portable use such as for watering the landscape areas and toilet flushing • Inclusion of drip irrigation and sprinkler systems connected to rainwater tanks to optimize usage of stored rainwater. Sustainable site Sustainable strategies for site planning, construction management, transportation planning & management to minimize the need for resource use and waste generation. management Materials & resource Strategies to maximize recycling and re-use of construction materials, sustainable management use of resources, waste management, and use of green products Quality of building Design ensuring good internal air quality, optimum temperature, optimum level of environment visual light and sound Green cover Incorporation of green cover within the KMTT building to lower temperatures, enhancement reduce energy usage and reduce/remove air pollutants Sewage disposal Sewage and greywater from all fixtures of KMTT design to be connected to the Kandy sewerage system and disposed to the upcoming sewerage network with full treatment capacity. Additional features covered in the KMTT design include: Facilities for Disabled: KMTT will have facilities for people with disabilities or special needs (e.g., ramps, toilets, railings etc.) as per the guidelines issued by the National Secretariat for Persons with Disabilities. Gender Mainstreaming: A number of features have been integrated into the terminal design and operation to ensure: (i) structural safety of women and girls accessing the terminal and to provide facilities for women (e.g., women-only waiting areas, breastfeeding rooms, safe and well-lit
