Priority Interventions
Reclaim the abandoned road as a landscaped pedestrian plaza with public seating and exercise equipment.
Install a safe Foot-Over-Bridge and renovated BMTC bus stand.
Site context
The site is a defunct segment of Tank Bund Road that historically linked dense residential clusters to the local market and JP Park. Since traffic was diverted to a nearby underpass, this isolated road has become a severed urban link, currently bypassed by vehicular flow but essential for local footfall.
Issues
The newly constructed underpass lacks pedestrian facilities, forcing hundreds of residents and senior citizens to hazardously cross unmanned, active railway tracks daily to reach essential public amenities. Lack of surveillance and active use has turned this abandoned stretch into a hazardous dumping ground for construction debris and a graveyard for abandoned vehicles, further compromising neighborhood security.
