Priority Interventions
●Install ramps and repair tactile paving to ensure people with disabilities can access the shops on the food street. ●Shop Spillover and pavement vending need to be negotiated to keep the tactile paving free of obstacles. ●More seating for persons with disabilities and the elderly to sit and rest.
Site context
This popular food street at V.V Puram was recently redesigned to better reflect its character. While the footpaths are intended to accommodate pedestrians, shop spillover has significantly reduced their usable width.
Issues
●The street is currently inaccessible to people with disabilities. ●Tactile paving markers are obstructed by street vendors, and there are no ramps for entering or exiting the footpath. ●There are no benches available for people to sit and eat.
