NEW DELHI: After depositing a positive of Rs 1 lakh for last unrepresented right through the remaining listening to on easing Delhi’s traffic congestion, the AAP government told the Supreme Court on Thursday that it had worked out an in depth roadmap to remove 77 “severe, reasonable and delicate bottlenecks” in two years.
The Delhi government, in its affidavit filed thru advocate Wasim A Qadri sooner than a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta, said the action plan concerned both momentary and longterm measures.
The court has taken the initiative to ease bottlenecks on Delhi roads as studies found congestion resulted in idling of vehicles for lengthy classes which contributed substantially to already high pollution ranges within the capital.
“Short-term measures, like improvements in road geometrics and many others, will take six to eight months. However, longterm measures like foot overbridges, underpasses, Uturns will take six months for approval of the scheme and sanction of estimates. Thereafter, 12 months will probably be required to execute the approval,” it said, including that some longterm measures like flyovers and underpasses had already been finished.
The Delhi government said it has constituted six taskforce groups, one for every traffic zone, and as many as 77 bottlenecks were identified.
Task power put 77 roads in three groups
The activity power identified 77 congested corridors for growth and put them in 3 classes — 28 highly congested ones, 30 congested ones and 19 mildly congested corridors,” it said. These 77 corridors were identified through the six groups constituted through LG Anil Baijal.
Of the 28 highly congested corridors, the southern traffic vary has 9, outer vary seven, western and eastern ranges four every, central 3 and northern traffic one.
Four roads — Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, Aurobindo Marg, Mathura Road and Chirag Dilli Road — would get most sensible priority for decongestion thru a pilot venture, the state said.
The Kejriwal government attributed its non-representation within the July nine listening to to “some communique hole” and said, “Due to non-appearance, the court used to be happy to impose a value of Rs 1 lakh which has been deposited smartly inside of time.”
It said that in step with the Delhi Traffic Police, congestion on these 77 issues used to be because of “encroachments on roads and footpaths, encroachment on central verges, unlawful parking on roads, abnormal pedestrian motion, slender roads, parking of vehicles in slender lanes resulting in petrol pumps and CNG stations, unsuitable design of intersections/junctions, presence of trees, bogs and other constructions impeding traffic motion, nonavailability of foot overbridges, subways or pedestrian crossings, nonavailability of U-turns and underpasses for vehicular motion and unsuitable road geometrics”.
On May 10, the bench of Justices Lokur and Gupta had regarded as the status record on bottlenecks filed through the Delhi government and said, “It does no longer point out any timeline at focused on the elimination of bottlenecks. A extra substantive status record must be filed through the NCT of Delhi inside of six weeks along side growth made.” The Supreme Court indexed the topic for further listening to on July nine when no counsel gave the impression for the Delhi government.
In reaction to the SC’s course for a substantive status record, the state filed a four-page affidavit on Thursday mentioning momentary and long-term measures may take as much as 20 months for implementation.
