Site context

The site is a stretch currently functioning as a passive vehicular thoroughfare and parking zone. It presents a strategic opportunity to serve as a vital neighborhood link between residential clusters and primary transit arteries.

Issues

• The space suffers from severe under-utilisation, leading to ""dark spots"" that compromise neighbourhood safety during evenings and weekends. • Poor maintenance has turned this potential public asset into a repository for waste, detracting from the local quality of life. • Despite being a thoroughfare during work hours, the space remains a deserted "urban void" during non-peak times, failing to serve the community’s recreational needs.

Priority Interventions

Reclaim the street through "Sunday Streets" activation, introducing cycling, walking, and art workshops. Implement better lighting and structured parking to transform this dangerous corner into a vibrant community pride spot.
