The redesign covers the stretch between Netaji Subhash Marg—towards the Red Fort—and Asaf Ali Road, a high-traffic corridor with minimal pedestrian space. As per the proposed layout, the new island will feature landscaped green areas, seating, a fountain, paved walkways, a children’s play zone, a skating rink and designated parking, transforming the junction into an organised public space rather than a purely vehicular intersection.
Urban planners note that the key challenge will be integrating beautification with efficient traffic flow and pedestrian accessibility to avoid congestion around this critical junction.
