Wider footpaths, roads designed for elderly: Walkability plan in the works for Mathura Road

Wider footpaths, refuge space and roads designed for universal access to aid the differently abled and elderly — these are some of the features that the renovated Bhairon Marg-Mathura Road stretch is soon expected to have as part of a walkability plan.

Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena last month reviewed the plan for the larger Purana Qila – Pragati Maidan corridor presented by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and asked for it to be finalised at the earliest incorporating all pending concerns.

Sources in the L-G House said this had now been finalised and was expected to receive Saxena’s nod in the coming days.
