According to the Comprehensive Road Assessment Report 2024-25 of the PMC, the quality of around 35 km of cycle tracks on 19 major roads in the city was assessed.
“This means almost two-thirds of roads in the city do not have proper pedestrian facilities.
In March 2026, a city based NGO conducted a study to find out how the condition of footpaths affects women’s travel patterns.
Of the women who travel on foot, 25 per cent said that the lack of footpaths is a major problem.
24 per cent of women expressed concern about dirty roads, 23 percent of women expressed fear of accidents on the roads, while 18 per cent of women mentioned inadequate street lighting.
