Re: [AI] Making Mumbai a disability friendly City

[Ekinath Khedekar]

Dear Sagar,

I appreciate your concern for the field.
What do you do and how do you wish to have an impact on the real-world
mobility for disables?

I've just been part of the wonderful attempt by few established
technical guys to make bus travel accessible for blind. And it's been
wonderful.

Let's take this forward. We should gang up for this.

@Dhananjay sir,

You could brief all of us on plans by Maharashtra town planning
authorities and most importantly action taken so far to make
Mumbai-Pune and Maharashtra accessible for us?

I was in loggerhead with State Transport Mahamandal for making
concessional tickets available through online booking as they also use
the same number given on the ST concessional card. But to no avail.

Regards
Ekinath Khedekar

Dear Friends,

I am already on the job and Subhashbhai thank you for those links.  We
need to remember that mere built environment is not our concern but
everything from hawking zones, transport, leisure planning etc. will
have to be accessible.

With best wishes,

Re: [AI] Making Mumbai a disability friendly City

[SC Vashishth]

Dear Sagar,

This is an opportune time to give inputs to Mumbai Development Plan 2014 -
2034. You may refer to Street design guidelines for ensuring a barrier free
environment that are currently applicable to Delhi for guidance and comment
where access issues have not been integrated.

Strengthening Development Plans is an important step however, subsequently,
to get these plans implemented, the stakeholders need to be little
more vociferous.  Best of policies remain on paper in absence of active
engagement of concerned stakeholders.

Here is the link to the Street Design Guidelines prepared by UTTIPEC - arm
of Delhi Development Authority under Ministry of Urban Development.
http://www.uttipec.nic.in/StreetGuidelines-R1-Feb2011-UTTPEC-DDA.pdf

You may also like to refer to similar efforts in European countries where
they name it as Street Design guidelines for healthy neighbourhoods or
walkable communities. Here is one such paper
http://contextsensitivesolutions.org/content/reading/street-design/resources/3918-270-street-design-guidelines-for-healthy-neighborhoods/

Hope this helps.
