3d plan for metro: Focus on high-rise development, tax sharing
Indore
For better operation of the metro train project, compensation of maintenance cost and increase in the number of passengers, a draft of local area plan has been prepared. In this, transit oriented development has been planned from Super Corridor to Bada Ganpati Airport via Vijay Nagar, Ring Road, Bengali Colony, MG Road. In this, focus will be on 3D (density, diversity and design). Its draft has also been sent to T&CP, Municipal Corporation, Administration and IDA. Along with this, suggestions and objections have also been sought.
The School of Planning and Architecture has prepared this local area plan. The team studied and surveyed the ring route for 15 days and looked at the development-worthy clusters and then prepared the plan. With its implementation, the appearance of the 31 km stretch from the Super Corridor to Bada Ganpati and Airport Road will change.
* Every area has been divided into zones and planned as per density, need and possibility.
* High rise buildings, malls, hotels with plug and play spaces, parks are planned in every area.
* 300 meter area near the track.
This is how the development plan has been made…
This part has been marked. This part will be planned first.
* Provision for this will have to be made in the Master Plan and Metropolitan Economy Project itself.
* If traffic increases, metro ridership may increase by up to 20 per cent.
Will release the plan soon
* Work is underway on the local area plan for the metro. After discussing with the departments, we will finalise it and release it.
Corporation has sought suggestions
* Metro Rail Corporation has presented the Local Area Plan and has asked for suggestions. We are studying it.
The revenue model should be prepared from now onwards, the metro company can also charge parking tax.
* According to the officers, after the construction of the Metro track, raising revenue for its operation and maintenance is a big issue.
* According to the estimated number of passengers in Indore, even after peak ridership, only 30% of the expenses will be recovered. Preparations will have to be made from now for the remaining 70%.
* 30% share can be demanded from the revenue generated due to registry, tax on petrol-diesel or development.
* If the city develops in the metro train track area, then tax and stamp duty will also increase. Revenue sharing can be done from this tax for metro or development plan.
* Around 28 stations.
There are provisions for commercial area development. Revenue will also be generated from the parking of stations.
* Multi-model integration will be done at the metro station for the movement of passengers from the surrounding areas. In this, other means of public transport like e-rickshaw, e-bus, city bus etc. will come to the station. Fee can be taken from them too.
