You won’t be able to drive to Delhi’s Connaught Place from February to April as the government is planning to de-congest the area.
As part of a pilot project, middles and inner circles of Connaught Place will become pedestrian zones for three months starting February.
Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu-led meeting cleared the pilot project.
But don’t worry, you will be able to park your vehicles at Shivaji Stadium, Baba Kharak Singh Marg and Palika, from where you’ll get a free shuttle service to the market.
Cycles, electric vehicles will be allowed in CP.
"It would also study the experience of pedestrians and shop owners, management of reclaimed parking lots and the traffic load on the outer circle," an official said.
As per reports, 3,172 cars can be accommodated at parking lots at Shivaji Stadium, Baba Kharak Singh Marg and Palika. But on an average only 1,088 vehicles are being parked.
"There will also be sound and light shows, sidewalk cafes, public plazas and street festivals. The intention is to make CP a happening place," said an official who attended Thursday's meeting.
