D . P. P R O P O S A L S ……………………. METRO RAILWAY

SNDT Stn

Metro Rail will run on Karve Road Two stations proposed in DP 36.. SNDT & Garware College Proposal of 4 F.S.I on 500 m on either side of the metro track

Garware Stn



D . P. P R O P O S A L S ………… Metro Rail Proposal

•The Metro will be passing through Karve Road. •The height at which it passes is approx.: 9 M (20-30 ft.) • This will result in construction of huge pillars and slabs on the road. • Requirement for the Metro track is approx. 10.5 M (35 ft.) • Requirement for the Metro Station: --- Station = 16.6 m X 70 m --‐ Platform = 140 m • No of stations proposed = 2 •To generate the funds for the Metro, 500 m on either sides of the Metro a 4 FSI is being proposed.



D . P. P R O P O S A L S ………… Effects of Metro Rail

Existing Karve Road (Near Garware College)

Effect of Proposed Metro Rail on Karve Road




Train running through the center of the road will generate: • visual chaos • Noise pollution • Air pollution • Parking chaos • Environmental degradation • Pillars will occupy road spaces




Station areas will generate a lot of commuter & traffic movement

Modal transfer/ parking areas will be required

Pedestrian walkways will be needed

Is the space around SNDT station & Garware College Station adequate for these facilities ?

Detailed design of areas around stations will have to be done

Large areas are required for stations , which include platform areas, escalator, ticket counters, waiting areas, etc



D . P. P R O P O S A L S ………… Effects of 4 FSI

• Existing Plot sizes are small….. After allowing for setbacks for high rise, the area of plot will not allow consumption of FSI 4

• Colony roads are narrow (approx 20’-30’ wide) •These do not support high rise growth

• Hence development will be possible only after amalgamation of plots…… and this will lead to VERY LARGE SCALE REDEVELOPMENTS • IS THIS NECESSARY????

Proposal of 4 FSI will increase density along metro corridor, resulting in congestion, increase in population, increase in built areas upto 4 times, increasing parking & traffic problems

No provision in DP for facilities and amenities like open spaces, schools, hospitals, drainage & water, garbage disposal, etc

Infrastructure in this area will collapse

Are we ready for this ??????




It is assumed that part funding of the metro will come from increased FSI along the metro corridor

It is a misconception that 4 FSI will be available free of cost Out of the 4 FSI, • FSI of 1 is what is available for plots, free of cost. • Additional FSI of 1 is paid FSI which is available as premium (TDR, road widening, etc) • The remaining FSI of 2 will be paid for and same will go directly towards construction of Metro

• Why FSI -4 ????..... • Is it necessary all along the metro corridor ???? • Will the residents benefit from this??? • There may also be condition that if a property remains undeveloped along metro corridor, for 5 years, then a cess will have to be paid to the PMC / Metro



D . P. P R O P O S A L S ……………………. ROAD WIDENING

Karve Road (100’-120’)

Law College Rd (60’ – 80’)

Prabhat Road (45’-66’)

Bhandarkar Rd (45’-66’)

BMCC Rd (45’-66’)

Income tax Lane (25’-60’)

Ketkar Rd (45’-60’)

•Almost 15 roads have been proposed for rd widening •Existing roads will be widened by 5 feet to 10 feet on either side •Existing footpaths and front margins will be acquired for this purpose



D . P. P R O P O S A L S : Road Widening Proposal

PLAN FOR PUNE 2007-2027 AREA: PRABHAT 36 ROAD WIDENING 15 roads All roads have been proposed for road- widening Road Name Existing Width & Proposed Width Karve Rd 100ft to 120ft Law College Road 60’. 00” 80’. 00” Prabhat Rd 45 ft to 66 ft Bhandarkar Road 45’. 00” 66’. 00” BMCC Rd 45 ft to 66 ft Ketkar Road 45’. 00” 60’. 00” Income Tax Lane 25ft to 60ft Central/Padale to Lagu-Bandhu 50ft to 80ft Kohinoor/Joshi pul to Bhandarkar 30ft to 60 ft Bhagat singh road to NadiPatra ex to 60ft Ajit hotel to Bhandarkar 20ft to 40ft Chitale to Balbhim Mandir(Dani Path) 20ft to 50ft Deccan Police Station toChitale 20ft to 40ft Bhave Path Tilak TankGalli ex to 40ft Karve Road to Joshi Pul ex to 80ft



D . P. P R O P O S A L S : Effects of Road Widening

• On Trees ……………….

Deccan Gymkhana is a precinct which takes pride in its fully grown beautiful trees, some being 70 to 100 years of age.




• On Trees and Green Cover……………….

Inspite of development over a period of time, the trees still manage to retain the flavor of this area.




• Existing trees on footpaths …… There are almost 100 to 200 trees in this area , a rare commodity in present urban context………..




• Trees in the front margins of plots……………….

All plots have a min of 4 to 5 trees in their front margins




• Tree Cover on roads……………….

Will this dissappear???? Is there a provision to retain preserve these trees???




• On Built form ……….

• Existing building lines will come on road edge • Front Margin parking areas will decrease • Balconies / Terraces will directly come on the roads

Is this desirable????



D . P. P R O P O S A L S : Road Widening

PLAN FOR PUNE 2007-2027 AREA: PRABHAT 36 ROAD WIDENING SECTIONS (AS SHOWN IN DP)

Typical sections through roads do not show any consideration made for trees




PLAN FOR PUNE 2007-2027 AREA: PRABHAT 36 ROAD WIDENING

II. Shifting of services like: --‐ Storm water drains --‐ Footpaths --‐ Cycle tracks --‐ Street Lights --‐ Gas pipe lines --‐ Water supply lines --‐ I.C. Chambers (will come outside) --‐ Telephone lines --‐ Electric cable lines --‐ Electrical D.B. Boxes. (MSEB)




PLAN FOR PUNE 2007-2027 AREA: PRABHAT 36 ON OPEN SPACES

PYC Hindu Gymkhana Ground & Front Margin

Kamala Nehru Park

Deccan Gymkhana Ground

On use Area of open grounds will reduce Commercial use will increase, resulting in parking, noise ,& air pollution & environmental degradation



D . P. P R O P O S A L S ……………………. PARKING ZONES

P47: Near SNDT College

P49: Near St. Crispin’s Church Karve road

P 43: Near Lakdi pool junction • Three parking plot reservations in DP 36 • From their location , size and areas it is not clear as to how many vehicles it will accommodate and whether they will suffice the existing need for parking • P47 : is a triangular plot near SNDT college • P49 : is a premise of the St. Crispin’s church on Karve Road

• P43 : is at the major Lakdi pool junction and has many existing tapris



D . P. P R O P O S A L S : INFERENCES

PLAN FOR PUNE 2007-2027 AREA: PRABHAT 36

DETAIL MAPPING AND DESIGN OF ROAD SECTIONS NECESSARY CREATIVE IDEAS & ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO BE USED FOR SOLVING ROAD ISSUES POLICY FOR TREE PLANTATION & RETAINING EXISTING TREES IS AN FSI OF 4 REALLY NECESSARY…OR CAN THERE BE OTHER ALTERNATIVES ?????? PARKING AREAS SHOULD BE DESIGNATED WHERE NECESSARY
