City Scape Experts for Mohali

Beautification Plan for Mohali:
1. Replanning of the PCA stadium traffic junction

2.Implementation of proposal to regulate traffic at the traffic junction of Phases III and V

3. Easing traffic flow on the arterial road passing through Phases IV, V, III-B1, III-B2 and VII


Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) will hire cityscape and traffic experts to change the face of Mohali, dubbed the future city.
The experts, being hired on contract for a five-year term, will guide the authority on issues relating to landscaping of open spaces along roads, re-designing of roads and utilisation of open spaces.
In all, four landscape architects, six cityscape experts and six traffic experts are being hired by the authority.
The idea behind the beautification project was to create material palette for the future and a new urban corridor for newly developing sectors to the south of the existing area.

Under the proposal, seven roads would be covered. These are shopping centre road, NIPER road, roads dividing Phases IX and X, X and XI, III and VII, YPS road and the PCL-Madanpur road.

The roads are to be widened and designated a public transport corridor. Also, traffic control points and public domains will be upgraded, pedestrian pathways created and landscaping done.
