The Project on Urban Transport Improvement for Kathmandu Valley KUTMP

1.1 Background of the Project

[ Previous Activities by JICA for the Project ]

— Road Development Master Plan in 1993

— Data Collection Survey in 2012

— Detailed Planning Survey in 2013

[ Current Urban Issues ]

• Acceleration of population growth and sprawl of urban area

• Rapid urbanization

• Rapid increase of number of vehicles (from 150,000 to 570,000 in last

10years)

• Heavy traffic jam

⇒ Improvement of Ring Road and widening of roads by GON:

But still insufficient transport infrastructures

Population projection in Kathmandu Valley

2.1 Precondition for Discussion

Structure Land use Transport

Case 0

Monocentric

-Monocentric structure, Overconcentration -Trend pattern of expanding urban area in suburbs as typical sprawl -Assigning sub-city centers on the ring road

-Inner ring road -Outer ring road -Installation of new transport system on both North-South and East-West axis -Installation of BRT on both the Ring road and inner ring road

Case 1

Monocentric and

multipolar

-Monocentric structure -Improving Trend pattern by building planned new towns with high density on the outer ring road in suburb -Assigning sub-city centers on the ring road -TOD plan which develops the areas around the stations of new transport system

-Same as Case-0 except the outer ring road without north and northwest section

Case 2

Compact on east-

west axis with twin

centers

-Twin center structure -Shift from the trend pattern expanding urban area in all directions to the compact pattern aggregating urban area on the east-west axis -Assigning sub-city centers on the ring road -Typical TOD plan which develops new towns on the axis of East-West with a installation of new transport system

-Inner ring road -Outer ring road is not constructed -Installation of new transport system on both North-South and East-West axis -Installation of BRT on both the Ring road and inner ring road

Case 3

Integration of Case-1

and Case-2

-Twin center structure -Integration of Case-1 and Case-2

Future Urban Structure Plan (Draft)

- Compact unban development in suburb

- TOD with Installation of Mass Transit system

Case-0

Case-3

Case-1

Case-2

Future Urban Structure Plan twin-Center on East-

West axis with Multipolar

- Compact unban development in suburb

- TOD with Installation of Mass Transit system



Structure Plan Advantage Disadvantage

Case 0 Monocentric

Nothing, but this is the trend of land use

pattern.

Heavy traffic congestion in city center, deteriorating environment in suburb, huge

investment for transport infrastructure and so on

Case 1 Monocentric and

multipolar

This would be a practical solution for urban

development without some socio-economic

inequality between the districts because

development areas are distributed.

Traffic congestion in the city center will be difficult

to improve without huge investment for public

transport and radial arterial roads.

Case 2 Compact on east-

west axis with twin

centers

This is an innovative TOD solution for

increasing future traffic demand if high

capacity transport network is efficiently used

along the east-west corridor.

This has a risk in that large scale development in

the east area would become difficult because there

are rich cultural, natural and agricultural assets. In

addition, If development and investment are

concentrated in the East and West areas, some

socio-economic inequality and disparities between

the districts would be occurred.

Case 3 Integration of Case-

1 and Case-2

This is set up by taking advantages and

overcoming the disadvantages of both Case-

1 and Case-2. Therefore, this can be said as

a relatively better balanced urban structure

than the above tree alternatives.

This would be the same as mono-centric urban

structure like Case-1 if twin centers are not worked

well. Therefore, building a new center on East-west

axis is the key issue for success.

As a definitive urban structure, based on the discussion of WGs Case-3 is recommended.

5. Provision of appropriate road

facilities including cross section

• Systematic road distribution to new urban area.

radial system

• Development of IRR

• Widening of roads where capacity is required.

• Development of off road parking, bus and truck

depot.

• Installation of bridges.

• Improvement of intersections.

• Improvement of river crossing

• Signals

• Pedestrian signals/pedestrian bridges

• Road cross section with appropriate pedestrian

way/bike lane and motorcycle lane.

Target Measures

3.1 Road Network Development Target




Current Road Network System

- Radial Road Network System except Ring Road

Tribhuvan Highway Arniko Highway

Central Business District

(CBD) Densely inhabited area

Issues caused by current network

system

- Vehicles concentrate into CBD.

- Vehicles which do not have

destination in CBD are forced to go

through CBD.

Ring Road

3.2 Concept for Future Road Network System




Tribhuvan Highway Arniko Highway


(CBD)

Densely inhabited area


Future Road Network System

- Conversion to Radial-Circumferential road network

Ring Road

Inner Ring Road

Outer Ring Road

Development of Inner Ring

Road enables vehicles to

divert congested CBD area.

Outer Ring Road services sub

urban areas

2 Installation of New Public Transport with high capacity and exclusive space(BRT, AGT etc. ) > to Center from North, South, East and West > Circulation by Ring Road & Inner Ring Road

3 Improvement of Road Network on Bus Route > construction of Inner Ring Road > Improvement of the density of bus routes ( 1km mesh) > Improvement of the width of bus routes ( to ensure as a large/medium bus routes)

4 Promotion of TOD both in new urban area and in existing urban area

5 Promotion of NMT both in new urban area and in existing urban area

Inefficient Bus Operation by many old buses and too many small-sized buses

Low density and low capacity road network

Lack of Transport management

Lack of Off-road Bus terminals and Existing of many Roadside Bus terminals

(Main Causes of Problems) ( Strategies)

1 Reorganization of Public Transport Operation > Routes (hierarchy of network by mobility) > Terminal (reallocation of transport terminals) > Vehicle, Operator, Fare, Priority and so on

In order to perform smooth emergency transport after the earthquake, ERN shall be necessary to connect each disaster prevention center by highway, arterial road, and sub-arterial road network.

National Emergency Road (Ring Road, Arniko Highway) Over 20m road width No block point for building demolition More than 2lanes for ambulance or

heavy equipment traffics after big earthquake

Large open spaces (Airport, Industrial estate etc.) are connected NER

Center area of Kathmandu is connected National Emergency Road

First Emergency Road Over 12m road width Almost roadside buildings under 6

floors (some buildings over 7 floors) Some block points for building

demolition At least 1 lane for ambulance or heavy

equipment traffics after big earthquake Big hospitals, open space, fire stations

and connected NER and FER network

Second Emergency Road Arterial road network will be located

1km square interval Over 5m road width roads are chosen

for Second Emergency Roads Many block points by collapsed

building

Concept Emergency Road Existing no road network but necessity

to connect FER or SER To use land pooling, this concept ER

must be constructed
