Development Plan 2034: BMC to start survey of roads

In order to avoid public wrath while correcting the error-filled draft Development Plan 2034, the civic body has formed guidelines to carry out survey of roads. The correction of error-filled draft DP is under way and now the focus is on survey of city roads.

BMC will soon put up all the details of 'designations' – existing reservation plots for public amenities – in the DP and its present usage in public domain.

The draft DP 2034 is already behind schedule and it will take another six months for completion.

According to the civic officials, the basic work has been completed and municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta has asked officials to put all the details in public domain so that if there is any correction or rectification suggested by citizens, the same can be included.

For the survey of the roads, specific guidelines will have to be followed. "There are a few aspects as regards to roads. Existing roads, proposed roads, widening of existing roads and road line for the new roads. All this will have to be taken into account while conducting the survey. The survey will have to be verified by the traffic department too," said an official adding that the survey will also mention structures which are affected in the case of road widening or new roads.
