ISSUE IN AMINABAD
Traffic Conditions: Mostly Pedestrian Traffic and auto rickshaws yet congested because of street
shopping.
Major issue: Uncontrolled Encroachments by peddlers and sellers causing Heavy blockage due to on-
street stopping.
•In recent years, Commercial Street transitioned from a mixed-use area to a business centre.
• In the process, and furthered by rapid motorization, the street lost its charm while paving the way for
automobile dependent customers.
Mixed use area Traffic Congestion

Road Inventory

in aminabad.
Sidewalk, Highest Pedestrian Flow, Streetlight, Eateries, Police Booth, Narrow
Street (<15m) Para-transit Node, Hawkers & Vendors, Parking
Vegetation, Benches, Dustbin, Signage, Kerb Stones, Drinking Water, Artwork,
MUZ, Foot over Bridge, Subway, PCO, Planning for Disabilities, Public Toilet,

OTHER ISSUES
Pedestrian Infrastructure-
No provision of basic pedestrian infrastructure benches, streetlights, public toilets, signage’s, Kerbstones,
trees, universal design etc.
Governance-
Lack in implementation of National Level schemes like National Policy for urban street vendors & provision of
dustbins, designated hawkers space, shelter for hawkers which should have been provided as per the national policy
for urban street vendors-2009 .
PARKING DEMAND ANALYSIS
• Fulfilling the above parking demand with Pedestrianisation will encourage more and more people to use
off-street parking facility rather than on-street and will attract more people towards the market.
• Insufficient parking capacity to cater the flow of the market which is expected to increase after
Pedestrianisation. As About 80% of the people park their vehicles on-street as per their convenience
encroaching the carriage way.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND STARTEGIES
•Municipal Corporation should revise its architectural controls mainly for the renovation and building size.
•It is recommended to put shed all over the footpath stretch if possible for pedestrians.
•If required in future, Underground parking can be provided below Hanuman mandir and recommended facilities can be
replicated to other stretches in the area too.
•Valet Parking all the people who come to the market &park their vehicles in off-street parking
13
RECOMMENDATIONS AND STARTEGIES
•Free Parking Permits Issued to the residents and priced parking for rest all of the people to get parking self
financed.
•Other facilities that should be provided at the stretch Resurfaced Pavements, Sensors, CCTV Camera,
Landscaping, Artwork, Dustbins, Vegetation, Public Toilet, Benches, MUZ, Universal Design, Shelter
