Pedestrian & bus friendly infrastructure at Saki Naka
#PedestrianFirst #MumbaiFirst

This is how participants rated the #CommunityWalk23 route in Lower Parel.
Surprisingly they rated the widths lower than expected 🤔

There is no excuse for a such a busy bus terminal to lack dignified infrastructure for waiting passengers. Unacceptable, especially with our relentless sun and heavy rains year-round.

Proudly announced 'Pedestrian crossing' leading directly into an obstructed path.

Came across this fascinating reddit post that went viral last month where a guy flew his drone from China straight into a N. Korean border town.
Somehow the footpaths in a dictatorship where the ruling class rarely walks have comfortable sloped edges on the footpath

Welspun's carbon credits should be penalized for funding such anti-pedestrian, borderline sadistic intersection 'improvement' programs under CSR.

Each such terrible intersection pushes people toward cars adding to carbon xpulsion, negating benefits of green projects elsewhere

This is our last public community walk for a while. Will shift focus mostly towards analyzing the data, preparing a combined report & taking concrete actionable recommendations to the BMC

India's top-selling vehicle, the Maruti Baleno, occupies an area of 75 square feet. Based on the average rate of 99 acres in this area, each on-street parking spot would equate to ₹56 lakh worth of real estate space. Despite this, we offer it free of charge.

Pedestrian friendly infrastructure is a dream for Indian cities.

Mumbai not so different sister! Most times we don't even have zebra crossings!

Note.

While planning public areas, it's important to choose materials keeping in mind the way they will be used. JSW funded public space under Kemp's Corner flyover looks dirty & grimy due to the poor choice of materials used to design seating

Fantastic fun talking about a dozen interventions possible at every 50 meter stretch along this route.
The neighborhood that was destined to be a CBD, but we failed to plan for.

This is how the participants rated the walking infrastructure along the route of the Borivali #CommunityWalk number 22.

Safe Footpaths Take strict action. One bike parked daily outside Jain Traders at Samata nagar.

Please do something about these loose wires hanging on the footpath at Acharya Atre rd Vartak nagar. They obstruct pedestrains and can be dangerous.
