AHMEDABAD: After dragging the project for nearly 20 years, when the state government is to finally realize the first phase of metro rail in August, a crucial aspect of the project is still missing – the decision to earmark public parking plazas. Last mile connectivity is considered crucial for the success of public transit systems.
The Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) had identified 58 large plots along the metro rail and BRTS routes for general parking. Yet to be approved, the plan has been gathering dust in the state urban development department for the past four years.
