Ancillary works such as underground power cabling, signage, utility shifting, and rotary development will receive Rs 150 million. Shaheed Path’s beautification has been allocated over Rs 100 million for horticulture and irrigation enhancements. Restoration of Motijheel, Jamuna, and Eldeco lakes is backed by Rs 80 million, supporting biodiversity and groundwater recharge.

Additional investments include Rs 30 million for a tropical park on the Gomti riverfront and plans for an entertainment park under a public-private partnership. Urban mobility projects feature a new foot overbridge near Lulu Mall to improve pedestrian safety.

Cultural upgrades worth Rs 100 million will fund a musical fountain, façade improvements, and museum electrification. Public health and accessibility enhancements include open gyms in 50 parks, street lighting, and sculptures at key junctions. Restoration of the Rifa-e-Aam Club and museum conversion at Amiruddaula Library have also been prioritised.
