Greenways and facilities

The Greenways could be classified into two groups, with one group being Cycle Priority routes enabling cyclists to cut through the city, while the other being Recreational Routes. 75 Kms of Greenways have been proposed along Canals, Rivers and Hills throughout the city, the network of which can be seen in the Map (Figure 51) below, marked in Green colour. Currently, Old Canal Road is the only closest example of a Greenway, which in some stretches, transitions into a Park with Jogging Track and Cycle Track (from Bhandarkar Road to BMCC Road).

Cycle Priority Routes

The cycle priority routes could be called as Cycle Highways. Such routes, which cut through the city, could facilitate cyclists to reach their destinations quickly and safely. This can be achieved by prioritizing Cycles Over Motorized vehicles, by providing wider Cycle Tracks, or in some cases, the stretch can be completely closed for Motorized Traffic, depending upon the land use and access to properties. Also, such routes will have adequate shade for Cyclists, hence providing a comfortable environment for cyclists.

Recreational Routes

Recreational routes along the rivers and canals, and through parks can also be shortcuts through the city saving valuable time for the cyclists.
