Hi there all,
The elevated Metro and particularly PMC’s
proposal for allowing construction with 4 FSI norm 500metres on both
sides of the metro throughout the 31.5 km of its route, has been the talk of
the town.
(Please
see the notice : http://epaper.indianexpress.com/303130/Indian-Express-Pune/12-July-2014#page/6/2
)
This increase to 4 FSI for a 31.5 km by 1km
swath of skyscrapers through the most congested areas of Pune is going to be a
nightmare and a life changing experience for not only the citizens staying in
the neighbourhood of the Metro route but also for all Punekars. There is no
planning for infrastructure, parks, and other amenities to cater to the
increased population who will reside here.
The elevated Metro passing through the
heavily crowded and busiest of Pune roads will reduce the road width making
travel a horrendous experience.
Let us all object to object to this
arbitrary, ill planned proposal and at least attempt to halt the ongoing
destruction of our city.
I am enclosing below a draft of a brief
letter objecting to the Elevated Metro & the 4 FSI plan. All you have to do
is to send the letter to the City Engineer:
