Observations
Nvshya Maruti
Entry to Residential colony
Prominent junction
4
Dangerous junction
Considering many riders
Especially two wheelers take wrong
entry to residential
area by internal road
1 Main junction
Due to proximity to unorganized area
this junction many times get jammed
3
2
Potential space for public
Comparatively shaded area
Potential – useful for citizen
get together
Gathering
Space could further develop
as foothill of Parvati making it as tourist/
children park
Private space
Shaded pedestrian walkway
can be well maintained by
involving owner
Google Map
Legend
Solution to area
General design solution
and can be applicable at multiple
locations
1
Creating slip lane for
left turn at junction
Creating (splitter) islands for
separating lane as well as
positioning signal poles
Use of tactile paver tiles for
pedestrian crossing
2
Ownership of footpath
Owners like Math and water department abutting
singhgad road can create shaded pathway and maintain
it as part of SR activity
Such practice will eliminate misuse of
pedestrian path .
Making dividers is a perennial work and causes
much annoyance to the traffic
Divider only at the junction would help to lower
vehicular speed required at the junction as well as
channelize vehicles especially at junction
3
4
Creating single lane road for either way traffic
Specifically for two wheelers
Organized future development as shown in figure
below can create covered pedestrian pathway.
Islands can demarcate lane and can be used for
plantation of trees
tactile paver tiles at pedestrian crossing for
visually challenged pedestrian
Considerable stretch of singhgad road has greenery due
to properties owned by government department, Math
and PL Deshpande park.
Creating dedicated lane to parvati hill with locals
involvement will increase citizen participation in
beautifying city.
Safeguarding pedestrian zone
By planting trees on road side
Replacing blank compound wall
by Perforated metal jail work for
elimination of bad practices and safe feeling
Guideline for future development
Creating covered pedestrian walkway
as part of building design
covered pedestrian
Walkway at D.N.road, Mumbai
Tree cover for surface drainage and tree
protection
Tactile paving tiles at junction for
visually impaired citizens
Green width for Tree planting and
street furniture
Bollards to be
removed for barrier
free walkway for
disabled in wheel
chair as well
Replacing single dustbin with separate ones as
Per category of waste and creating dustbin as
part of street furniture
Creating secured sitting arrangement for citizens
in shaded area
Alignment of hutments to the pedestrian
Walkway with demarcated space for vendors
• Creating space for public transport system
like Rickshaw will safeguard pedestrian
walkway

Conclusion
Sinhgad road can be developed as green patch by interweaving landscaped passages
between Pl Deshpande,Water department , Residential area and Ramkrishna math with due
diligence
It can further enhanced by developing lane to Parvati for citizens.
Shaded secured walkways for pedestrian by planting trees on road side
Traffic can be controlled by slip lanes at necessary junctions
