Re: Nashik Phata Multi-level Interchange at Kasarwadi

[Aneeta Benninger]

Dear Rajiv: This is real fiction. I wish you would do a realistic picture of what the place is like today and superimpose the travel lanes for all modes so that we can see what will happen to the people and activities that are already there in place. What are they planning to do? Drop a bomb?

full swing for a three tiered interchange, in which all lanes and modes are expected to function without interruption.

Note the Metro Rail alignment along both sides of the Mumbai-Pune road ... and the three levels at the Junction ...

How are people supposed to cross? And cyclists?

Their typical response will be "But who walks or cycles these days"?

Yes..People used to walk till 19th century, used to cycle in 20th century.. 

This is 21st century. If you want to remain in past and don't want to progress then what can they do? :)

[ashok datar]

what kind of progress that we anticipate ? hurtling towards traffic jams, congestion, very difficult, risky and /or arduous crossings for pedestrians and bicycles who live in the vicinity just so that long distance traffic can zoom zoom at a cost of few hundred crores 

are we really serious when we get such multi lane multimodal corridors where crossing is virtually not allowed. 

why should we have rail and highways should be next to each other - effectively requiring few hundred meters to cross 

mumbai is also planning such wide corridors creating 

this is to add one more dimension to the broad and basic debate on sustainability

Dear Shri. Datar,

Was your message in response to mine? 

My message was meant to be hugely sarcastic. I thought it would be very clear from the message. Perhaps it was not :(.. Sorry about that..

Regards,

Rajendra

[ashok datar]

rajendra 

yes I understood that

but I wanted to add one point about high width corridor as is being attempted for alibag virar  rail road corridor which requires elevated pedestrian crossings ( at few far between places) of 500 meters

I travel daily from this flyover site. I am very surprised with the pace of work going on there. Besides traffic is very well managed so there is less traffic congestion most of the times. (Sometimes situation gets out of hand).

I am sure these flyovers would be landmark for PCMC in few years.

But for Pedestrian and Cyclist, sadly not sure what plans were made.

"Tombstone" is perhaps a better word.
