In a groundbreaking move, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is spearheading a transformative approach to enhance road quality and walkability in the city. The civic body recently conducted a comprehensive walking survey, aimed at gaining valuable insights into the current state of the roads and identifying areas for improvement.

The survey, a first of its kind in Pune, involved citizens actively participating in assessing the walkability of various areas. PMC officials accompanied residents, documenting their feedback on the condition of footpaths, road safety measures, and overall pedestrian experience.

This citizen-centric initiative aligns with PMC's commitment to inclusive urban planning, emphasizing the importance of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. The walking survey not only serves as a diagnostic tool for existing challenges but also promotes community engagement in shaping the city's development.

The initiative reflects a progressive approach to urban governance, showcasing PMC's dedication to creating a safer and more accessible environment for residents. By actively involving citizens in the evaluation process, the municipal corporation aims to address specific concerns and prioritize improvements that resonate with the community's needs.

As the survey findings unfold, PMC is expected to implement targeted measures to enhance road quality, making significant strides towards creating a cityscape that prioritizes the well-being and convenience of pedestrians. Stay tuned for updates on how Pune's urban landscape is set to evolve through this citizen-driven initiative.
