Sasanenagar inner lanes are experiencing peak-hour congestion caused by PMPML bus stop passenger spillover onto the carriageway, compounded by school-zone pedestrian hazard, with 12 reports this week averaging 3.1/5 severity. Immediate interventions focusing on bus stop infrastructure, road markings, and school-zone signage can mitigate safety risks within a short implementation window.
Conduct a peak-hour traffic observation audit at the PMPML stop and school-zone entry points in Sasanenagar inner lanes to record exact spillover points, pedestrian crossing patterns, and vehicle flow bottlenecks; produce a site sketch and photo documentation for all subsequent steps.
Install a dedicated bus bay lay-by or demarcate a painted bus holding zone with yellow box markings at the PMPML stop so buses pull fully off the travel lane during boarding and alighting, reducing carriageway blockage during peak hours.
Erect retractable crowd-queue barriers or metal railings along the footpath at the PMPML stop to channel commuter queues onto the footpath and away from the road surface, preventing pedestrian spillover onto the lane.
Paint school-zone road markings (zebra crossing, speed limit '20 km/h School Zone' stencil) and install retro-reflective 'School Ahead' and 'Slow Down' signboards at 50 m and 20 m approaches on both entry points of the inner lane.
Deploy two traffic marshals (sourced via ward-level Home Guard or engage PMC traffic volunteers) at the PMPML stop and school-zone crossing during morning and evening peak hours (7:30–9:30 AM and 1:00–3:00 PM) for a 30-day trial period and report incident reduction metrics to the corporator.
Respect new lane markings once they appear · RWA liaisons coordinate with Traffic Police rapid-response group · share specific evidence, not generalised complaints.
Eight residents from Ward 44 (Kale Boratenagar - Sasanenagar) reported that 3 wet-waste collection points are consistently overflowing on weekends, indicating a gap in weekend collection scheduling. With an average severity of 2.8/5, this is a moderate but escalating hygiene concern that can be resolved through targeted schedule adjustments and additional weekend collection capacity.
Conduct a field audit of the 3 overflowing collection points in Kale Boratenagar to document exact locations, current pickup schedule, volume of wet waste generated on weekends versus weekdays, and identify the assigned collection contractor and vehicle routes
Issue a written directive to the assigned SWM contractor to add one additional wet-waste pickup round on Saturdays and Sundays specifically covering the 3 identified collection points in Kale Boratenagar, with compliance reporting to the ward office
Deploy 3 additional 240-litre covered wet-waste bins at each of the 3 overflowing collection points to handle weekend surge volumes and prevent open spillage until the revised schedule stabilizes
Install signage at each of the 3 collection points displaying the updated weekend pickup timings and the ward-level SWM helpline number, and distribute a WhatsApp-friendly notice through local housing societies to encourage timely waste segregation and drop-off
Set up a 4-week monitoring mechanism where the ward office tracks weekend collection compliance via daily photo evidence from the contractor and weekly feedback from the 3 collection point localities; escalate non-compliance to the SWM zonal head with penalty recommendation
Households segregate at source · shopfronts use new covered bins · RWAs verify collection-day adherence and escalate misses through ward office.
