The document outlines the characteristics and challenges of MG Road, a significant arterial road in the area, highlighting its mixed-use environment with malls, residential zones, and issues such as broken footpaths and traffic accidents. It notes the high volume of commercial activity and the presence of multiple transportation options along the road. The vision proposed is to transform the area into a safer, more accessible promenade that encourages walking and cycling.
