Planning Studio- V (Puri Town Comprehensive Development Plan, Puri, Odisha)
INTRODUCTION
In Puri Town the road type is classified under 4 categories i.e., National Highway , Puri-Konark Drive, Major Roads and Other Roads.
The total road network within Puri Town is 211.83 KM long which covers 1.4 square kilometre of area which is 8.59% of total town area.
The NH203 and the major roads are connected to the main trunk within the centre of the city ( Puri-Konark Drive) which is the reason for formation of many major nodes of Puri town on that particular stretch which makes it a hotspot.
Studio- V (Puri Town Comprehensive Development Plan, Puri, Odisha)
Planning
ANALYSIS
Total Area provided to Transportation sector is 8.59% which is less than the standards set by the URDPFI.
The existing pedestrian pathway network is not strong enough to cater heavy pedestrian movement and it also lacks basic facilities for pedestrians.
There is a lot of encroachment on streets especially on Grand Road. It is encroached by local vendors and flower stalls on both sides reducing the R.O.W.
The parking situation of town is also weak as the demand is much greater than that of availability. Thus it is important to strengthen the parking sector.
Public Transport is another aspect that needs immediate attention. There is a lack of mass transit facilities.
The existing condition of terminals, bus stops and other facilities is highly inadequate and ill managed.
Major traffic within Puri city is generated in the Grand road, Marine drive road and Station road areas where specific interventions must be proposed
