 Restoring ecology and improving water quality.
 Planting native species along the river corridor.
 Accomodating the street vendors at ITO bridge into the weekly haat. Creating plazas and

 Create a bird watch zone which will be landscape so as to attract migratory birds to the site.
 Solar Park: Adaptive re-use of existing grid and turning it to a power generator.
 Utilizing secretariat and Indira Gandhi Stadium’s parking for parking requirements of the
proposed site.
 Improve accessibility to the site keeping in mind the utilization of sustainable modes of transport
including walking and cycling.
 Providing resting space at regular intervals along the pedestrian path. Provide shaded pathways
and proper street furniture.
 A visual link as well as pedestrian link from the historically significant monuments (like Feroz
Shah Kotla) is to be created.
 Water bodies: Apart from the river and the Nullah which is present on site, a pond is proposed in
the broadwalk area and the train entrance plaza. A water fountain is proposed at kids activity
zone.
 Chhatt Puja is celebrated on the banks of the river every year. Thousands of people come to the
river and offer their prayers to the Sun God. The plan aims at providing adequate parking space
and design a large pen space to accommodate people when the event takes place. It also aims at
providing temporary shelter as the people tend to stay over night.
