16 Before Today BRTS With No BRT Roads 2008 No (2014) Transforming Constraints into Opportunities 13 kms. Of Canal corridor was identified in BRTS network in phase 1. Partially there was no road, no traffic, degenerated use, encroachments on water front, BRTS to be operational on this corridor by canal degradation Centrally located canal acted as waste collection area, no transit opportunity Lack of land use changes Degradation of surrounds, land prices, Quality of life.. Pedestrian path Mixed traffic lanes BRTS bus lane Pedestrian path Mixed traffic lanes BRTS bus lane Existing Canal

17 Canal edge development Implementation Canal road BRTS nearing Completion The purpose of canal is to supply water to irrigational areas from north to the south of city. Constructing canal edge lining for strengthening of edge, preventing water seepage, increasing velocity of water flow Construction activity undertaken in short intervals of 14 days when the water supply is discontinued. Given this, precast technology was adopted.
