Priority Interventions
Transform the infrastructure buffer into a continuous, safe pedestrian corridor with nature-based landscaping. Strategic lighting and pavement improvements will turn this unplanned edge into a vibrant, accessible link for residents and commuters.
Site context
This corridor connects the metro and suburban stations in Kasturi Nagar. It serves as a critical pedestrian link between major transit nodes and residential areas.
Issues
This corridor is plagued by defunct infrastructure buffers that have become magnets for debris and unregulated parking. This spatial neglect is compounded by fast-moving traffic on the service roads, which creates dangerous conflicts with local neighbourhood footfall. Consequently, the lack of defined walking paths effectively isolates the community, cutting off residents from safe transit access points and essential neighbourhood nodes.
