Background of the Engagement:

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is the Project Implementing Agency for the Metro Rail Projects in Mumbai Metropolitan Region. MMRDA has already initiated implementation of Metro Line 2A, 2B, 4, 4A, 5, 6, 7, 7A & 9 while works for metro  lines 10, 11 & 12 will be commenced soon.

Along with this, to ease access/egress to metro stations, MMRDA has also undertaken Planning and Design of Multi Modal Integration (MMI) plans at Metro stations of Mumbai Metro lines. It was discussed in many forums where the need for accessibility, safety and mobility (last mile connectivity) to Metro stations was justified and deliberated as need of the hour in conformity with the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP-2006).

Through Multi Modal Integration, efficient dispersal by all modes of transport and last mile connectivity could be planned which will not only relieve the commuters but will also further enhance NMT and PT share, feeder and last mile connectivity through e-vehicles and bicycles will help reduce environmental degradation and pollution.

As per MMI plan, the station influence area will be redesigned for efficient & safe dispersal of traffic and commuters. This includes restructuring/ reconfiguration of Right of Way (ROW) i.e. carriageways and footpaths, shifting/ re-routing of ground and underground utilities (if required), street lights, shifting of Bus stops, providing pickup- drop off bays for Buses/IPT‟s/private vehicles, dedicated metro feeder through e- vehicles, wayfinding maps, signages, traffic signals/ signal cycles, CCTV surveillance, beautification, street furniture and  PBS infrastructure.

This infrastructure upgrade is proposed to be carried out in a 500m radius of each metro station area which is the average walking distance for last mile connectivity to Mass Transit Stations. Also, as the 500m radius areas overlap each other, this project will indirectly improve the entire corridor.

Detailed study of the Multi-Modal Integration Plan was carried out through consultant M/s L&T Infrastructure Engineering Ltd for 15 stations on Mumbai Metro Line 4 & 4A. The Project reports and GAD’s will be shared with successful bidders.
