OBJECTIVES• Develop uniform street design standards.• Identify major cycle movement patterns and
design an integrated cycle track and greenway network for the entire city.
• Adopt urban design standards and planning regulations to improve pedestrian safety, create public amenities, and improve pedestrian network connectivity.
• Ensure seamless connectivity from bus and rail-based mass rapid transit stations to other modes, including bus, para-transit, walking, and cycling.
Improving Streets and the Public Realm2
Consensus reached on the following objectives:

• Identify road pricing options for Chennai.
Management of Road Space and Travel Demand3
Consensus reached on implementing a robust on-street parking management and enforcement system
• Creation of Special Purpose Vehicle – Chennai City Parking Management Company
• Inventory of existing parking system– Document supply (paid, unpaid, no parking, and
unregulated)– Document parking usage
• Detailed street mapping• Detailed street design• Financial model for SPV
– Parking revenue to escrow account– CoC leads SPV formation and project implementation – Revenue supports allied works (NMT and Bus improvement)
OBJECTIVES• CUMTA as a planning, monitoring, and
coordinating body • Develop robust institutional mechanisms to
facilitate interagency coordination.• Develop CUMTA’s data collection and monitoring
program• Institutionalize performance-based transportation

Parking Management & Enforcement
Minimum zone widths (IRC)
1. Ending the footpath with abrupt curbs is not acceptable
2. Lowering the entire footpath to the level of the carriageway is unacceptable as property entrances may become waterlogged
3. Vehicle ramps should be provided in the ‘furniture zone’ and not in the ‘pedestrian zone’
Property entrances
NMT Policy
For narrow ROWs, the entire width should be designed as a slow zone
On wider streets, a separate slow zone is necessary
