खेड ते सिन्नर रस्ता चौपदरीकरणासाठी भूसंपादन प्रक्रिया आजपासून सुरू झाली आहे. केंद्र सरकारने जमीन भू-संपादनाबाबत राजपत्र प्रसिद्ध केले आहे. येत्या दीड ते दोन महिन्यांत संपादनाचे काम पूर्ण झाल्यास, खेड ते सिन्नर या 135 किलोमीटर लांबीच्या रस्त्याचे प्रत्यक्ष काम जून 2013 मध्ये सुरू होईल, असा अंदाज आहे. या रस्त्याच्या कामासाठी एक हजार 200 कोटी रुपये व भू-संपादनासाठी 300 कोटी रुपये असा एकूण एक हजार 500 कोटी रुपये खर्च अपेक्षित आहे. नाशिक राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण यांच्या नियंत्रणाखाली बीओटी तत्त्वावर रस्त्याचे काम होणार आहे.

पुणे-नाशिक रस्ता वाहतुकीसाठी सध्या अपुरा पडत आहे. चाकण औद्योगिक वसाहतीमुळे या रस्त्यावर वाहनांच्या संख्येत लक्षणीय वाढ झाली आहे. पेठ-अवसरी व खेड घाटातही झालेल्या अपघातांमुळे अनेकवेळा वाहतूक बंद पडली आहे. राजगुरुनगर, मंचर, कळंब, नारायणगाव, आळेफाटा गावांतून रस्ता जातो. त्यामुळे वारंवार होणाऱ्या वाहन कोंडीचा फटका प्रवाशांना बसत आहे. रस्त्याच्या कामाची मागणी गेल्या अनेक वर्षांपासून करण्यात आली होती. या मागणीची केंद्र व राज्य सरकारने दखल घेतली आहे. या चौपदरीकरणासाठी 561 हेक्*टर जमीन संपादन करावी लागणार आहे.

Rs 2,500 crore sought for road development in Pune division

The Pune Divisional Commissionerate has sought Rs 2,500 crore from the Centre and the State governments for developing a road network of 24,569 km in the division comprising five districts of Pune, Satara, Sangli, Solapur and Kolhapur. The commissionerate has also sought around Rs 800 crore for repair of roads.

The proposal was recently placed before the Vijay Kelkar committee set up by the state government to work out alternatives to remove regional imbalances in growth. The Committee visited the city earlier this month.

“We have put up the proposal before the Kelkar Committee. We are hoping the required funds are allocated at the earliest,” said Divisional Commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh.

For extension of roads and building connecting roads, the commissionerate has demanded Rs 122 crore. “For the 24,569 km roads in the division, we need around Rs 2,585 crore,” said an official from the commissionerate.

Pune district is looking at road extension of nearly 10,077 km, which would cost of Rs 252 crore. Satara’s 3,097.82 km will incur a cost of Rs 619.56 crore, Sangli’s 1,513.30 km will cost Rs 378.25 crore, Solapur’s 8,712 km will cost Rs 871 crore and Kolhapur’s 1,168.30 km demand will cost Rs 467.32 crore.

The Public Works Department has given details for development of roads on state highways, and district-level roads in the division. “The Committee gave a hearing to our demands. We hope the amount is soon disbursed,” said an official.

The commissionerate has demanded Rs 815 crore for repair of 21,727.11 km of roads. According to the Deputy Commissioner (Development), there are major repairs that have to be completed.

In view of balanced development, there are many roads that need repair works. Pune district itself needs repair work on nearly 6,334.66 km which would cost Rs 237.55 crore. Satara needs to repair 3,390.57 km which would cost Rs 127.15 crore, Sangli needs Rs 124.5 crore for repair of 3,319.06 km, and Solapur needs Rs 224.40 crore for 5,982.96 km. Repairs needed on 2,639.86 km of roads in Kolhapur will cost Rs 101.25 crore.

The Kelkar Committee which reviewed the Pune division plan has stressed urbanisation, sanitation and garbage disposal as major challenges before cities such as Pune. Road and infrastructure works were part of the development work for the district. The 14-member committee visited Pune on November 3-4. The committee members held a meeting with elected representatives and government officials from Pune division.

Development plan proposes walking plaza on Laxmi Road

A walking plaza on busy roads of the city, including Laxmi Road, is part of the new Development Plan (DP) for the old city.

"Across the world, pedestrian facilities like walking plazas have augmented socio-economic benefits. Laxmi Road is one of the busiest roads in the city. It is possible to have a walking plaza on this road in addition to other roads," says the draft DP document.

Prior to the Diwali season last year, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the traffic police had jointly proposed an 800-metre walking plaza on the stretch between City Post and Umbrya Ganapati chowk on weekends. However, the plan was abandoned after strong

opposition from a section of traders and corporators.

During festive seasons, there is a huge crowd of shoppers on Laxmi Road. However, due to heavy traffic and parking, it becomes unsafe to walk, traffic police have said.

"The new DP is applicable to the old city area, including the 17 Peth and surrounding areas spanning over 147.85 sq km. The area is congested and the situation will worsen in the next few years. The civic administration has proposed that a walking plaza be implemented on Laxmi Road and in Peth areas and traffic be banned. It is up to the elected representatives to accept or reject the idea," said a senior civic official.

The civic administration has tabled the DP before the General Body, which is likely to decide on the same in the next few weeks. The new Development Plan for 2007-2027 for the old city area has laid out a blueprint expecting a spiraling growth over next few decades.
