Provisions in the draft Development Plan

Q: The proposals in the draft development plan for metro rail project, flyovers, new roads are completely unscientific manner, without any studies or surveys. I heard that the plan had many errors. What were the main provisions in the plan? What was its impact on public?

The new Development Plan (DP) for the old city areas of Pune has made various provisions for additional Floor Space Index (FSI). Developers constructing hostels for women in the city will get additional FSI with premium rates. Additional FSI will be given to developers who construct colony for conservancy staff - any conservancy staff member who has completed 15 years of service in the PMC will be eligible for a flat in the colony. Special houses for rent have been proposed in the DP. 2.5 FSI is allocated for development of houses of the flood-affected, as well as for MHADA housing projects.

Even there was an indiscriminate widening of roads everywhere and Incentives for more parking and a raising of the parking minimums.

PCMC has proposed that the parking lots can be just about 4.5 m wide, parallel to the BRT route, and that the entire parking area once transferred to PCMC free of cost. These parking lots will be used exclusively by outsiders.

The plan also included 11 foot over-bridges and 30 pedestrian subways ignoring the fact that these are not preferred by pedestrians and violate the provisions of the Person.

In the villages which have now come under the DP, there has been little or no progress on infrastructure for more than two decades. There is an urgent need for proper roads and other physical infrastructure in these areas, many of which which have already seen a lot of irrational construction and illegal projects.

Earlier the city has really started to suffer from the lack of public transport and poor infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, with a resulting dramatic increase in personal motorized vehicles. To make matters worse, the city has continued to pursue policies that encourage the use of personal motorized vehicles, while ignoring public transport and non-motorized transport.

The proposed changes in the DC rules will be discussed at the general body meeting which PCMC will invite suggestions and objections from citizens and then send it to the state government for final approval.

Yes, a careful reading of the plan reveals errors. I know some of the provisions of the plan, like the Metro rail project, with routes running along all major roads, overlapping completely with the proposed and under-construction Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) routes and new roads in the river bed, on hill slopes and three tunnels.
