This is perhaps a critical issue that needs to be addressed in order to create pedestrian friendly streets that are safe.

The Street Vendors' Act is an opportunity to reclaim road space from motorists for PEOPLE.

Do attend. Lively debate guaranteed.

A discussion to promote equitable and environmentally sound implementation of the Street Vendors Act, 2014 in Pune

21^st October 2014
4 pm to 6 pm
Lokayat, (opp Nirmitee, near Nal Stop), Law College Road, Pune

Our streets can be great places again for street vendors, pedestrians and cyclists.

The Street Vendors Act, 2014, when implemented well has the potential to improve the livelihood conditions of millions of street vendors in India. It can also, in conjunction with the National Urban Transport Policy, 2006, drive street designs that provide equitable allocation of road space for pedestrians, cyclists and vendors.

Shri Sanjay Shanke, Janeev Sanghatana, Pune, has played a key role in the passage of the Street Vendors Act, 2014. He would make a presentation about the Street Vendors Act, its background and what it hopes to change, challenges ahead, and steps being taken for proper implementation.

Following Mr Sankhe’s presentation, we would brainstorm ideas for building support towards converting the potential of the SV Act and the NUTP into a reality of inclusive, well-designed, vibrant streets in Pune.
