SDMC seeks people’s views on Aapki Sadak project
It aims to facilitate movement of pedestrians
The South Delhi Municipal Corporation held a public meeting in Malviya Nagar on Sunday to interact with residents over the ongoing ‘Aapki Sadak’ project that envisages improvement and modernisation of roads for traffic management in the area.
The project has been taken on a pilot basis and it aims to facilitate the movement of pedestrians and parking management in the locality in South Delhi. Scores of people from the area attended the open house.
“We got a great response from the residents and we will hold another such interaction next month,” said SDMC Commissioner Manish Gupta.
The pilot project aims to redevelop the road from Malviya Nagar Metro station to Trikona park in the area, officials said. “The aim is to redesign the road with the focus being on pedestrian pathways. Right now, cars are parked haphazardly so we will work to clear the road for walking as well as traffic,” said Mr. Gupta.
The Aapki Sadak project was conceived by city-based Ashok B Lall architects and funded by the Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, started in March last year. Along with the feedback from the people, the architect are using their own expertise to offer better connectivity without adding to the pollution, officials said.
