Clean and Safe MG Road, Gurgaon

Hello everyone. I'm Archna Saxena, a resident of Heritage City, MG Road, Gurugram. I have taken up a community project under Landmark to create a safe space for the community by solving the traffic chaos on MG road (MG Metro station).

Further details regarding the same are as follows:

Project Declaration:
To find a permanent solution for traffic regulation outside Heritage City, MG Road.

Description of Current Situation:
Heritage City is a residential society on MG road, adjacent to MGF Metropolitan Mall. The MG Metro Station is in front of it, next to which there are three upcoming bus stops. The traffic outside the society and on the main road is often chaotic. One finds vehicles parked in non-parking zones, and vendors occupying the main road itself. This results as an obstruction in the traffic flow to the maximum. It has also become dangerous for pedestrians to walk on the footpaths.
This current situation impacts all (2000) residents of Heritage City and approximately 20,000 people commuting on MG Road on a daily basis.

Actions Planned :

1. Making leaders in Heritage City and Essel Tower. Also, enrolment of RWA(HERWA) in Heritage City.
Leaders created:
Heritage City- Amar, Nandini Anand, Abhivyakti Saxena, Ashok Shrivastava (RWA president), Admiral Chopra and Major Umesh Oberoi. Essel Tower- Shubhangi.
2. Preparation of a plan and suggestions from HERWA for solving the problem outside the society.
3. Approach statutory authorities for necessary approvals.
4. Regular review with leaders and members from HERWA on the progress.
5. Enrolled members for other parts of main MG Road (Mr. Rajeev Sinha from Essel Tower and Deepak Kapoor from Beverly Part 1, RWA Presidents).
6. Media Awareness

2. Discussion with HERWA members regarding final way forward.
