ABSTRACT
The cities today witness an unprecedented immigration influx, majorly in all
developing countries, as is the case of India. This means more vehicles on city
roads. With the unavailability of walkingandcyclinginfrastructure,peopleare
forced to use vehicles majorly powered by petrol and diesel engines,
ultimately increasing the carbon emissions. With smart, sustainable and
segregated cycling and walking paths, the use ofcycleswill beencouragedand
will contribute immensely in combating climate change. The study involves a
case study of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, India. The importance of
cycle lanes and its need is discussed through survey of pedestrians and
cyclists.

INTRODUCTION
The advancement rate and industrialization pace vary in
different countries, but the pattern has followed basic
structure. Cities have emerged as economic hubs and roads
are the basic infrastructural requirement for their
development. While the roads today, fulfil only the needs of
automobile usersand not the pedestriansandcyclists.Owing
to this, people today avoid walking or cycling to short
distances and are indirectly forced to use vehicles. This has
led to increased carbon emissions and unsustainable
lifestyles with high carbon footprints of city dwellers,
ultimately affecting the environment and leading to climate
change.
Some of the basic issues observed in Indian cities are:
Unavailability of footpaths: People are forced to walk on
the sides of roads, which increases the number of
accidents and further discourages the city dwellersfrom
walking/cycling.
Inaccessibility: There are sometimes no stairs to step up
the raised footpaths. This majorly affects aged women
and handicapped population.
Encroachment: The footpaths are encroached by the
shops adjacent to the footpath, forcing pedestrians to
walk on roads, further discouraging to walk short
distances.
No street lights: This affects the walkability during
evening and night. It also discourages women to walk
owing to securityas they are underthreatbecauseoflow
visibility.
No Shade: Usually there are no shades available and
hence the walkers/cyclist are at discomfort.
City Heat: Cities are comparatively hotter than before,
this has not only affected the working hours during the
day, but is also a reason of decreasing efficiency and
cause of discomfort.
Pollution: The vehicular and industrial pollution is the
cause of major lung, eye and skin diseases.
A. LITERATURE REVIEW
In 2015, 87% of the total CO2 equivalent emissions in the
transport sector were emitted by road transport.Thismeans
cutting down vehicular emission is much impactful than a
forestation and will show more immediate effects.

The study undertaken by the European Cyclists’ Federation
(Greenhouse gas emissions from transport in Europe, 2018)
estimates that substituting 32% of the car trips in the
European Union (EU-28) by bicycles could result in the
annual fuel savings of €28 billion. Hence, not only this has
ecological value but massive economic gains could be made
by shifting the mode of local short distance transport. In the
last decade itself, fuel use in the transport sector has more
than doubled from 40.29 milliontonsofoilequivalent(INDIA
CAN CYCLE IT’S WAY TO ECONOMIC SUCCESS,2019)in2006
to 86.70 MTOE in (Million Tons of Oil Equivalent) 2016. This
unprecedented exploitation of fossil fuel has resulted in
unprecedented carbon emission, leading to rapid climate
change and rise in theglobaltemperature.Withrisingincome
levels, the added prestige with the stigma ofcyclingbeingthe
vehicle of the economically weaker class is also one factor
that people avoid this sustainablealternative.Absenceofsafe
cycling infrastructure not only discourages the use of cycles
but the users are left with no other choice. There are hardly
any segregated lanes and parking spaces in convenient and
major locations of the city.
Increased affordabilityofmotorizedvehicles(especiallytwo-
wheelers) is also a major factor that has led to a declineinthe
share of bicycles. Hence, increasing ownership and use of
motorizedvehiclesnotonlyhasimplicationsforthetransport
sector’s energy-related CO2 emissions, which at present
account for 8–10% of the total CO2 emissions in India.
The uptake of cycling has defined direct benefits. Benefits
like, personal fuel savings, health benefits due to increased
physical activity, reduced air pollution, and travel-time
savings by marginal unskilled workers are quantified. These
benefits can be realized by conducting awarenesscampaigns
to highlight the various benefits of cycling and by dispelling
the notion of bicycles as the poor person’s modeoftransport.
Cycles are affordable and eco-friendly. They are the primary
mode of transport of the urban poor population. Even in a
large city suchas Delhi, cycling accountsforover10%oftrips
in the city, because of this section of society. Traffic surveys
show that cycles are used around 15% of the time by the
urban city dwellers. Cycles play a major role in enabling
livelihoods of the urban poor; they provide a cost-effective
transport option. Around 60% of trip lengths in Indian cities
are of less than 5 km, and 80% of less than 10 km. These are
ideal distances for cycling. It is one of the most sustainable
modes of transportation. Benefits of cycling include zero
emissions and pollution, health benefits from increased
physical activity. This is an efficient option to shift to
sustainable lifestyles without downscaling the living
standards with twined benefit of good health.
B. CASE STUDY: CYCLE TRACKS AT HOSHANGABAD
ROAD
Bhopal the capital of Madhya Pradesh is one of the greenest
cities in India. In today’s date, it has emerged as a major
educational, economic and political center in India. As an
urban agglomeration Bhopal is the second largest city of
Madhya Pradesh, after Indore (Limited, 2012). It is divided
into two major areas, "Old Bhopal” being a historical city and
has narrow roads and "New Bhopal” which has broad roads
that are flanked bylandscaped greenery(RishabhJain,2015)
Figure 1- Map showing BRTS Corridors in Bhopal and
Cycle Track on Hoshangabad Road. Source- Author
While footpaths are present alongside several main roads in
the city, relatively fewer roads have segregated cycle tracks
beside them. Although the scope of development of cycle
tracks in the narrow and congestedroadsintheolderregions
of the city is limited; the construction of a segregated cycle
track has been done in the newly developed road along the
Hoshangabad roadinthecity.DevelopedbytheBhopalSmart
City Development Corporation Limited, this dedicated track
stretchesacross 5.5 km fromone sideoftheroadandrunsfor
11km if both sides of the road are considered. The track has
been developed as a part of the PublicBikeSharingschemein
the city and was inaugurated in 2017. This bike sharing
scheme allows users to rent a cycle fromdockingstations,set
up across the Bus Rapid Transport corridors that run along
the city’s main roads.
The segregated cycle track was therefore constructed to
experiment the feasibility of such tracks and cycle
infrastructure in Bhopal. According to Chandramauli Shukla,
CEO, Bhopal Smart City Development Corporation Limited
(BSCDCL), the aim of these cycle corridors is to “promote a
bike culture” in the congested city where government
transport, private vehicles and commercial mini-buses clog
the roads every day.
The officials claimed that if this prototype was successful,
they planned to implement it on a 24km long corridor that
would have more docking stations and connect various
prominent public places, colonies and markets.
The Bhopal Public Bike project, started with a capital cost of
Rs 2.95 crore. Adopting a new revenue model, the project
plans to raise operating costs of Rs 6.7 lakh per month from
membership, rental income, advertisement revenue,
sponsorship contracts, parking fee and CSR funding, among
others.
C. FEATURES OF CYCLE TRACK
Width of Tracks: The Hoshangabad road is an Arterial road
that is approximately 53 meters wide on. Of these 53 meters,
7 meters is dedicated to the BRT corridor in the center. An 8
meters wide main road has been made on either side of the
BRTS corridor. The cycle track measures 5 meters wide and
separated from the main riadthroughkerbstones.A6meters
wide service lane on both sides of theroadhasbeenprovided

beside the cycle tracks on each side. Betweentheservicelane
and the cycle track a3.8 meters wide line for tree plantation
has also been provided.Thecycletrackoneithersideconsists
of two-way lanes for both cyclists and pedestrians.
Figure 2- Section of road one way. Source- Author
Separation: The cycle tracks are separated by the mainroad
by kerb stones that 150mm high and separated from the
service lane through a tree plantation area. This green patch
was developed to further beautify the visual aesthetics ofthe
road and provide shade. Yet only some parts of these
plantation areas are covered with trees that can provide
shade. Also, stops in the form of 1-meter-high poles have
been erected at intersections to avoid the entrance of
vehicular traffic on the cycle track. These polls are laid
adjacent to each other in sucha way thatthewidthof750mm
between two consecutive polesallowsonlythecyclesandthe
pedestrians to pass. Thus, the entrance of two-wheeler
vehicles and auto rickshaws on these paths can be avoided.
Markings: The tracks have been painted in a crimson color
and have markings that are in the white color. Additional
markings on this path furtherenhancethecyclingexperience
by providing directions for using the shared path. Centerline
stripping that are painted in white color help in determining
the direction of the cycles and pedestrians on the two-way
path. Additionally, zebra crossings that are also painted on
the track and at road intersections help pedestrians to cross
the track amidst the bicycle traffic.

with markings and stoppings. Source- Author
Lighting: Poles for lighting can be seen between the main
road and the cycle lane and each pole has two luminaries
mounted on it. These luminaries are mounted on the heights
of 12 meters and 7 meters for the main road and the cycle
track respectively. Such a provision reduces the number of
poles required and the vertical clutter on the road. The
luminaries give a yellowish light.
Drainage: For drainage, weep holes have been provided on
the cycle corridors that open towards the main road. These
weep holes have been placed at a distance of 3 meters. Butas
the cycle corridors and the main road are at the same level,
there is no proper facility for watershed management.Dueto
this, these corridors get clogged with water during the rainy
season. Additionally, the track also has underground cabling
system and storm water drainage.
Cycle Stands: The bike renting and booking facilities are
provided through Chartered Bike Pvt. Ltd. through an
androidapplication which includesservicesofsearchingand
booking differentbiketypes,viewingrentalhistory,reporting
problems,andemergencycontactfacility.Thebikestandscan
be browsed through a real time map and cycles can be
booked by a simple QR scan.
Out of the total 90 bicycle docking stations in Bhopal, 11 are
located on this stretch of cycle tracks. The Chartered mobile
application displays the number of available bikes and racks
for parking the bike on each station.

D. BIKEABILITY ASSESSMENT OF THE TRACK
The Bike ability Assessment of these tracks was done by conducting a survey of about 30 people who used the cycle tracks
regularly. For this assessment, the following questionnaire was prepared.
Table 2 Questionnaire for survey for Bike ability Assessment
Sr. No. Question Yes No
1. Corridors wide enough to accommodate both the pedestrian and cycle traffic?

Results of survey: The survey revealed that while a majority of cyclists were content with the widthandfeltsaferoncyclingon
these tracks than the road; they were dissatisfied by the shade and lighting provision on the tracks. Almost all the cyclists were
dissatisfied with the absence of adequate provision for shade which is why they preferred to use these tracks only during the
morning and the evening hours. Although most of the cyclists were satisfied with the lighting provision, some women cyclists
revealed that they avoided using the tracks during the night due to the low illumination levels. Although the corridors were in
good condition, some cyclists stated that they were not cleaned routinely. Few cyclists also felt that the cycling renting system
was expensive when the cycles were rented for more than twohours.Theprovisionofdrainagewasconsideredgoodenoughfor
most part of the year except the rainy season when due to the heavy rains in the city, the rain watercloggeduponthetracksand
also made them slippery. Additionally, the pedestrians also complained that there was no separate provision for parking their
cycles near the cycle track, which forced them to park in the vehicular parking which was already overcrowded. The cyclist
further revealed that they felt safe cycling on the tracks as the entry of two wheelers onto the track was avoided by barriers at
each intersection. Due to these barriers and the strict impositions laid by theauthoritiestherearenoencroachmentsofanykind
on the cycle corridors. Further the lack of respect for cyclists among the driversattheintersectionsrevealedalackofawareness
amongst the local residents of the city.

- Lack of time to cross
- Lack of discipline from the drivers.
9. Are there provisions of shade and rest?
10.
Are there any ramps for the differently abled along the
track?
11. Narrow footpath (less than 1.5mtr)

and bushes
19. Broadband/BSNL utility boxes and poles on footpath
20. Signage Poles on footpath
21. Bus stops on footpath
22. Exit and entry ramps cutting across the footpath, hoardings (political, shops) which obstruct)
23. Built Encroachments (steps, railings, walls) by shops/stores/petrol pumps/restaurants)

26.
Lack of ramps for private entries which forces walkers to go down the footpath and then climb on
it again.
27. Slippery footpath/water logging (during monsoon)
28. Dirty walls adjacent to footpath
29. Any other issue (not listed)
Results of survey: The survey revealed that the pedestrians
were pleased with the spacious provisions of the footpath
cum cycle lane and frequently used them for travelling short
distances and exercising. Although the markings on the cycle
corridors and road intersections aided the pedestrians in
crossing the road, a lot of pedestrians complained about the
disrespect of the drivers on the road. Despite this lack of
discipline, the zebra crossings and stop lights installed at all
the junctions gave them enough time to the to cross the road.
The lack of adequate restinginfrastructurewasseenasmajor
issues by the pedestrians especially the women and the
elderly, who then used the kerb stones as seating while
walking on the tracks. The absence of ramps for the
differently abled to climb the track was also seen as a
problem by many users, whohad to enter the footpaths from
the main road by stepping over the kerb stones. The users
seemed satisfied with the comparatively low heighted street
lights that were pedestrian friendly. While the majority
suggested more CCTV and surveillance provisional; some
complained about the unavailability of shade, due to the
absence of enough plantation of trees in the tree plantation
area beside the track. The footpath is well maintained and is
separated from the vehicular traffic and the roads through
foot long divisions. The presence of Broadband utility boxes
on the edge of the cycle track was not seen as a disruption by
the pedestrians. The signage poles present on the tracks was
appreciated by the pedestrians. The absence of bus stops
beside the cycle corridor were an issue.Thesebusstopswere

only present on the BRTS corridor, to access which the
pedestrians had to cross the main road to reach the BRTS
corridor. This crossing of the main road was seen as
inconvenient by many. There were no encroachments on the
cycle track whichseemed to greatly pleasethepedestriansas
in the absence of these, they could use the tracks for jogging
and walking without any disruptions. The presence of a tree
planation area and service lane beside the track was also
appreciated by many who thought that these enhanced the
visual appeal of the track and rendereditaspaciouslook.The
poles that have been placed at the entry point to stop
automobiles and bikes from entering the path, were seen as
inconvenient by the wheelchair users as these poles have
been placed only 700mm apart. There was little to no
awareness among the pedestrians about IRC norms.
CONCLUSION
In order to encourage the use of cycles in the city, it is
extremely important to upscale the existing cycling
infrastructure. The shading, resting and drainage facilities
along this track need to be examined carefully and upgraded
to make these features more user friendly. Additionally, the
economics of the public bike sharing scheme can also be
revised for the benefit of the users. A general awareness
regarding the benefits of cycling also needs to be spread in
the city. This can lead to a major shift in attitude of the
general publictowardstheexistingcyclinginfrastructureand
result in a cleaner and a safer environment along these
tracks.
The up scaling of the road infrastructure is a definite need of
the hour to make the cities more livable. This is an affordable
and practical approach to combat climate change. The roads
with segregated infrastructure for cycling/walking will
promote the people to cycle/walk short distances andhence,
would decrease the use of private automobiles. It will also
encourage people to commute via public transport, since the
latter has fixed station and theusersareboundtotravelshort
distances. All this would decrease the carbon emissionsfrom
the roads, with the decrease in air pollution and noise
pollution and help citizens adapt to heathier and more
sustainable lifestyles.

Arch, Student, Department of Architecture and Planning, 3Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering, 1, 2, 3Madhav Institute of Technology and Science, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India ABSTRACT The cities today witness an unprecedented immigration influx, majorly in all developing countries, as is the case of India. This means more vehicles on city roads. With the unavailability of walkingandcyclinginfrastructure,peopleare forced to use vehicles majorly powered by petrol and diesel engines, ultimately increasing the carbon emissions. With smart, sustainable and segregated cycling and walking paths, the use ofcycleswill beencouragedand will contribute immensely in combating climate change. The study involves a case study of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, India. The importance of cycle lanes and its need is discussed through survey of pedestrians and cyclists.

Cities have emerged as economic hubs and roads are the basic infrastructural requirement for their development. While the roads today, fulfil only the needs of automobile usersand not the pedestriansandcyclists.Owing to this, people today avoid walking or cycling to short distances and are indirectly forced to use vehicles. This has led to increased carbon emissions and unsustainable lifestyles with high carbon footprints of city dwellers, ultimately affecting the environment and leading to climate change. Some of the basic issues observed in Indian cities are: Unavailability of footpaths: People are forced to walk on the sides of roads, which increases the number of accidents and further discourages the city dwellersfrom walking/cycling. Inaccessibility: There are sometimes no stairs to step up the raised footpaths. This majorly affects aged women and handicapped population. Encroachment: The footpaths are encroached by the shops adjacent to the footpath, forcing pedestrians to walk on roads, further discouraging to walk short distances. No street lights: This affects the walkability during evening and night. It also discourages women to walk owing to securityas they are underthreatbecauseoflow visibility. No Shade: Usually there are no shades available and hence the walkers/cyclist are at discomfort. City Heat: Cities are comparatively hotter than before, this has not only affected the working hours during the day, but is also a reason of decreasing efficiency and cause of discomfort. Pollution: The vehicular and industrial pollution is the cause of major lung, eye and skin diseases. A. LITERATURE REVIEW In 2015, 87% of the total CO2 equivalent emissions in the transport sector were emitted by road transport.Thismeans cutting down vehicular emission is much impactful than a forestation and will show more immediate effects.

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD38227 | Volume – 5 | Issue – 1 | November-December 2020 Page 1360 The study undertaken by the European Cyclists’ Federation (Greenhouse gas emissions from transport in Europe, 2018) estimates that substituting 32% of the car trips in the European Union (EU-28) by bicycles could result in the annual fuel savings of €28 billion. Hence, not only this has ecological value but massive economic gains could be made by shifting the mode of local short distance transport. In the last decade itself, fuel use in the transport sector has more than doubled from 40.29 milliontonsofoilequivalent(INDIA CAN CYCLE IT’S WAY TO ECONOMIC SUCCESS,2019)in2006 to 86.70 MTOE in (Million Tons of Oil Equivalent) 2016. This unprecedented exploitation of fossil fuel has resulted in unprecedented carbon emission, leading to rapid climate change and rise in theglobaltemperature.Withrisingincome levels, the added prestige with the stigma ofcyclingbeingthe vehicle of the economically weaker class is also one factor that people avoid this sustainablealternative.Absenceofsafe cycling infrastructure not only discourages the use of cycles but the users are left with no other choice. There are hardly any segregated lanes and parking spaces in convenient and major locations of the city. Increased affordabilityofmotorizedvehicles(especiallytwo- wheelers) is also a major factor that has led to a declineinthe share of bicycles. Hence, increasing ownership and use of motorizedvehiclesnotonlyhasimplicationsforthetransport sector’s energy-related CO2 emissions, which at present account for 8–10% of the total CO2 emissions in India. The uptake of cycling has defined direct benefits. Benefits like, personal fuel savings, health benefits due to increased physical activity, reduced air pollution, and travel-time savings by marginal unskilled workers are quantified. These benefits can be realized by conducting awarenesscampaigns to highlight the various benefits of cycling and by dispelling the notion of bicycles as the poor person’s modeoftransport. Cycles are affordable and eco-friendly. They are the primary mode of transport of the urban poor population. Even in a large city suchas Delhi, cycling accountsforover10%oftrips in the city, because of this section of society. Traffic surveys show that cycles are used around 15% of the time by the urban city dwellers. Cycles play a major role in enabling livelihoods of the urban poor; they provide a cost-effective transport option. Around 60% of trip lengths in Indian cities are of less than 5 km, and 80% of less than 10 km. These are ideal distances for cycling. It is one of the most sustainable modes of transportation. Benefits of cycling include zero emissions and pollution, health benefits from increased physical activity. This is an efficient option to shift to sustainable lifestyles without downscaling the living standards with twined benefit of good health. B. CASE STUDY: CYCLE TRACKS AT HOSHANGABAD ROAD Bhopal the capital of Madhya Pradesh is one of the greenest cities in India. In today’s date, it has emerged as a major educational, economic and political center in India. As an urban agglomeration Bhopal is the second largest city of Madhya Pradesh, after Indore (Limited, 2012). It is divided into two major areas, "Old Bhopal” being a historical city and has narrow roads and "New Bhopal” which has broad roads that are flanked bylandscaped greenery(RishabhJain,2015) Figure 1- Map showing BRTS Corridors in Bhopal and Cycle Track on Hoshangabad Road. Source- Author While footpaths are present alongside several main roads in the city, relatively fewer roads have segregated cycle tracks beside them. Although the scope of development of cycle tracks in the narrow and congestedroadsintheolderregions of the city is limited; the construction of a segregated cycle track has been done in the newly developed road along the Hoshangabad roadinthecity.DevelopedbytheBhopalSmart City Development Corporation Limited, this dedicated track stretchesacross 5.5 km fromone sideoftheroadandrunsfor 11km if both sides of the road are considered. The track has been developed as a part of the PublicBikeSharingschemein the city and was inaugurated in 2017. This bike sharing scheme allows users to rent a cycle fromdockingstations,set up across the Bus Rapid Transport corridors that run along the city’s main roads. The segregated cycle track was therefore constructed to experiment the feasibility of such tracks and cycle infrastructure in Bhopal. According to Chandramauli Shukla, CEO, Bhopal Smart City Development Corporation Limited (BSCDCL), the aim of these cycle corridors is to “promote a bike culture” in the congested city where government transport, private vehicles and commercial mini-buses clog the roads every day. The officials claimed that if this prototype was successful, they planned to implement it on a 24km long corridor that would have more docking stations and connect various prominent public places, colonies and markets. The Bhopal Public Bike project, started with a capital cost of Rs 2.95 crore. Adopting a new revenue model, the project plans to raise operating costs of Rs 6.7 lakh per month from membership, rental income, advertisement revenue, sponsorship contracts, parking fee and CSR funding, among others. C. FEATURES OF CYCLE TRACK Width of Tracks: The Hoshangabad road is an Arterial road that is approximately 53 meters wide on. Of these 53 meters, 7 meters is dedicated to the BRT corridor in the center. An 8 meters wide main road has been made on either side of the BRTS corridor. The cycle track measures 5 meters wide and separated from the main riadthroughkerbstones.A6meters wide service lane on both sides of theroadhasbeenprovided

Betweentheservicelane and the cycle track a3.8 meters wide line for tree plantation has also been provided.Thecycletrackoneithersideconsists of two-way lanes for both cyclists and pedestrians. Figure 2- Section of road one way. Source- Author Separation: The cycle tracks are separated by the mainroad by kerb stones that 150mm high and separated from the service lane through a tree plantation area. This green patch was developed to further beautify the visual aesthetics ofthe road and provide shade. Yet only some parts of these plantation areas are covered with trees that can provide shade. Also, stops in the form of 1-meter-high poles have been erected at intersections to avoid the entrance of vehicular traffic on the cycle track. These polls are laid adjacent to each other in sucha way thatthewidthof750mm between two consecutive polesallowsonlythecyclesandthe pedestrians to pass. Thus, the entrance of two-wheeler vehicles and auto rickshaws on these paths can be avoided. Markings: The tracks have been painted in a crimson color and have markings that are in the white color. Additional markings on this path furtherenhancethecyclingexperience by providing directions for using the shared path. Centerline stripping that are painted in white color help in determining the direction of the cycles and pedestrians on the two-way path. Additionally, zebra crossings that are also painted on the track and at road intersections help pedestrians to cross the track amidst the bicycle traffic. Figure 2- Images of cycle tracks at Hoshangabad Road with markings and stoppings. Source- Author Lighting: Poles for lighting can be seen between the main road and the cycle lane and each pole has two luminaries mounted on it. These luminaries are mounted on the heights of 12 meters and 7 meters for the main road and the cycle track respectively. Such a provision reduces the number of poles required and the vertical clutter on the road. The luminaries give a yellowish light. Drainage: For drainage, weep holes have been provided on the cycle corridors that open towards the main road. These weep holes have been placed at a distance of 3 meters. Butas the cycle corridors and the main road are at the same level, there is no proper facility for watershed management.Dueto this, these corridors get clogged with water during the rainy season. Additionally, the track also has underground cabling system and storm water drainage. Cycle Stands: The bike renting and booking facilities are provided through Chartered Bike Pvt. Ltd. through an androidapplication which includesservicesofsearchingand booking differentbiketypes,viewingrentalhistory,reporting problems,andemergencycontactfacility.Thebikestandscan be browsed through a real time map and cycles can be booked by a simple QR scan. Out of the total 90 bicycle docking stations in Bhopal, 11 are located on this stretch of cycle tracks. The Chartered mobile application displays the number of available bikes and racks for parking the bike on each station.

BIKEABILITY ASSESSMENT OF THE TRACK The Bike ability Assessment of these tracks was done by conducting a survey of about 30 people who used the cycle tracks regularly. For this assessment, the following questionnaire was prepared. Table 2 Questionnaire for survey for Bike ability Assessment Sr. No. Question Yes No 1. Corridors wide enough to accommodate both the pedestrian and cycle traffic? 2. Corridors in good condition, without any large cracks or dips? 3. Corridors routinely cleaned of trash and litter? 4. Adequate street lighting? 5. Adequate shade from the trees beside the cycle track? 6. Did you feel safe while using these corridors? a. If yes, why? b. If no, why? 7. Do you think renting cycles from the cycle station is affordable? 8. Do drivers respect cyclists along the intersections? 9. Provision for drainage along the track? 10. Any difficulties you encounter when crossing roads? 11. Any suggestions to improve the situation 12. What safety measures do you use while riding 13. Are there provisions of parking cycles on track? 14. The rules and regulations of riding are followed? 15. Built Encroachments (steps, railings, walls) by shops/stores/petrol pumps/restaurants) 16. Parked Vehicles: Parking by residents, customers of a commercial establishment, by auto garages etc. beside cycle track? 17. Exit and entry ramps cutting across the corridors, hoardings (political, shops) which obstruct) 18. Slippery corridor/water logging (during monsoon) 19. Any other Vehicles driving on the corridor 20. Hawkers and Vendors T Temporary: Anyone who is selling without any structures and for a limited time (e.g. vegetable sellers in the evening) Permanent: Anyone who uses a permanent or permanent structure 21. Any other issue (not listed) Results of survey: The survey revealed that while a majority of cyclists were content with the widthandfeltsaferoncyclingon these tracks than the road; they were dissatisfied by the shade and lighting provision on the tracks. Almost all the cyclists were dissatisfied with the absence of adequate provision for shade which is why they preferred to use these tracks only during the morning and the evening hours. Although most of the cyclists were satisfied with the lighting provision, some women cyclists revealed that they avoided using the tracks during the night due to the low illumination levels. Although the corridors were in good condition, some cyclists stated that they were not cleaned routinely. Few cyclists also felt that the cycling renting system was expensive when the cycles were rented for more than twohours.Theprovisionofdrainagewasconsideredgoodenoughfor most part of the year except the rainy season when due to the heavy rains in the city, the rain watercloggeduponthetracksand also made them slippery. Additionally, the pedestrians also complained that there was no separate provision for parking their cycles near the cycle track, which forced them to park in the vehicular parking which was already overcrowded. The cyclist further revealed that they felt safe cycling on the tracks as the entry of two wheelers onto the track was avoided by barriers at each intersection. Due to these barriers and the strict impositions laid by theauthoritiestherearenoencroachmentsofanykind on the cycle corridors.

National Policy for Street Vendors? 8. What are the main difficulties you encounter when crossing roads? Examples - Inadequate footpaths or refuges - Lack of signalization (zebras, stop lines for vehicles, green man, etc.) - Lack of time to cross - Lack of discipline from the drivers. 9. Are there provisions of shade and rest? 10. Are there any ramps for the differently abled along the track? 11. Narrow footpath (less than 1.5mtr) 12. Complete footpath-Does it end after a certain length thus forcing pedestrians to use the road 13. Uneven footpath: - Missing tiles/blocks - Broken tiles/blocks - Protruding pipes/wires - Broken manhole covers or higher than footpath level 14. Construction material like debris, sand, pipes etc. on footpath 15. Garbage or waste containers on footpath 16. Children squatting on footpath 17. Vehicles driving on footpath. 18. Trees that partially or completely block the footpath/ Low hanging branches/overgrown shrubs and bushes 19. Broadband/BSNL utility boxes and poles on footpath 20. Signage Poles on footpath 21. Bus stops on footpath 22. Exit and entry ramps cutting across the footpath, hoardings (political, shops) which obstruct) 23. Built Encroachments (steps, railings, walls) by shops/stores/petrol pumps/restaurants) 24. Parked Vehicles: Parking by residents, customers of a commercial establishment, by auto garages etc 25. Hawkers and Vendors T Temporary: Anyone who is selling without any structures and for a limited time (e.g. vegetable sellers in the evening) Permanent: Anyone who uses a permanent or permanent structure 26. Lack of ramps for private entries which forces walkers to go down the footpath and then climb on it again. 27. Slippery footpath/water logging (during monsoon) 28. Dirty walls adjacent to footpath 29. Any other issue (not listed) Results of survey: The survey revealed that the pedestrians were pleased with the spacious provisions of the footpath cum cycle lane and frequently used them for travelling short distances and exercising. Although the markings on the cycle corridors and road intersections aided the pedestrians in crossing the road, a lot of pedestrians complained about the disrespect of the drivers on the road. Despite this lack of discipline, the zebra crossings and stop lights installed at all the junctions gave them enough time to the to cross the road. The lack of adequate restinginfrastructurewasseenasmajor issues by the pedestrians especially the women and the elderly, who then used the kerb stones as seating while walking on the tracks. The absence of ramps for the differently abled to climb the track was also seen as a problem by many users, whohad to enter the footpaths from the main road by stepping over the kerb stones. The users seemed satisfied with the comparatively low heighted street lights that were pedestrian friendly. While the majority suggested more CCTV and surveillance provisional; some complained about the unavailability of shade, due to the absence of enough plantation of trees in the tree plantation area beside the track. The footpath is well maintained and is separated from the vehicular traffic and the roads through foot long divisions. The presence of Broadband utility boxes on the edge of the cycle track was not seen as a disruption by the pedestrians. The signage poles present on the tracks was appreciated by the pedestrians. The absence of bus stops beside the cycle corridor were an issue.Thesebusstopswere

This crossing of the main road was seen as inconvenient by many. There were no encroachments on the cycle track whichseemed to greatly pleasethepedestriansas in the absence of these, they could use the tracks for jogging and walking without any disruptions. The presence of a tree planation area and service lane beside the track was also appreciated by many who thought that these enhanced the visual appeal of the track and rendereditaspaciouslook.The poles that have been placed at the entry point to stop automobiles and bikes from entering the path, were seen as inconvenient by the wheelchair users as these poles have been placed only 700mm apart. There was little to no awareness among the pedestrians about IRC norms. CONCLUSION In order to encourage the use of cycles in the city, it is extremely important to upscale the existing cycling infrastructure. The shading, resting and drainage facilities along this track need to be examined carefully and upgraded to make these features more user friendly. Additionally, the economics of the public bike sharing scheme can also be revised for the benefit of the users. A general awareness regarding the benefits of cycling also needs to be spread in the city. This can lead to a major shift in attitude of the general publictowardstheexistingcyclinginfrastructureand result in a cleaner and a safer environment along these tracks. The up scaling of the road infrastructure is a definite need of the hour to make the cities more livable. This is an affordable and practical approach to combat climate change. The roads with segregated infrastructure for cycling/walking will promote the people to cycle/walk short distances andhence, would decrease the use of private automobiles. It will also encourage people to commute via public transport, since the latter has fixed station and theusersareboundtotravelshort distances. All this would decrease the carbon emissionsfrom the roads, with the decrease in air pollution and noise pollution and help citizens adapt to heathier and more sustainable lifestyles.
