Jaipur: To facilitate the construction of Jaipur Metro Line 2, the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) will soon remove the pedestrian footbridge at Narayan Singh Circle and beautify the intersection. The decision came exactly three months after the state govt shifted the bus stand from Narayan Singh Circle to Jawahar Circle in Transport Nagar.“We will start removing the pedestrian footbridge this week. The elevated corridor of Metro Line 2 will pass through the present ramp of this footbridge. Instead of scrapping the structure, we are going to reinstall the footbridge at the India Gate Tiraha on Tonk Road,” said a JDA official.Once the engineers remove the footbridge, the civic body will start beautifying the signal. Public toilet, all makeshift stalls and parking spots will be removed from this intersection. Although the traffic police have declared the intersection as no parking zone, a few autos and motorbikes (those run on apps) are still parking at this crossing.“We have asked the department of information technology (DoIT) to install cameras at this crossing. These are expected to be installed soon,” the JDA official added.The two newly announced bus stands in Transport Nagar—towards Agra Road and Delhi Road—are expected to get a major facelift in the coming months. While Jaipur Municipal Corporation (Heritage) will install high-mast lights and a few infrastructures for passengers boarding from the stands meant for private buses, the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) will improve the infrastructure of the govt bus stand at the corner of Agra Road. RSRTC plans to construct a state-of-the-art terminal building at this bus stand.
