UTTIPEC approves ₹6,500-cr TOD plan in Central Delhi
The Unified Traffic & Transportation Infrastructure Centre has approved ₹6,500-crore 'transit and transportation plan' for the redevelopment of the Central Vista project, which also involves the redevelopment of New Delhi Railway Station under the transit-oriented development (TOD) policy. The Central Vista project’s approval would involve a plan for traffic infrastructure up-gradation, like elevated corridors, road redesigning and traffic circulation plans. Redesigning and upgrading roads in central Delhi will increase traffic flow once the completion of project by 2024. A traffic assessment report prepared by Tata Consulting Engineers stated that the project would add a significant amount of traffic to Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road, Maulana Azad Road, Ashoka Road and Shershah Road. While there might not be many possibilities of widening these roads, upgrading would take care of parking issues and add more infrastructures for cyclists and pedestrians. Similarly, the redevelopment proposal of the New Delhi Railway Station will be implemented under the TOD policy. Once it comes up, the station complex will not only provide a much-needed boost to seamless transport infrastructure but also open huge residential and commercial spaces in a sustainable manner, apart from positively altering the skyline of the capital.
