Pedestrian-friendly Footpaths

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you are living in Bengaluru, you would fondly remember the walks you could go with friends and sip hot tea with friends. Not everyone can go to the gym, but one thing that everyone can do is walk. Walking is one of the most basic forms of exercise. If we think, we will realize that not every journey needs a vehicle, some can also be walked through.

A lot of times, we do not go out for a walk because of footpaths that are not pedestrian-friendly. A narrow footpath beside the road prevents chaos and accidents. They allow people to walk/jog at a safe distance from the road. Apart from footpaths, one also needs public restrooms and rest seats.

Restrooms at every few kilometers are a necessity. It can be used by anyone who passes by. So are resting seats; they allow people to sit and rest. This would motivate people to walk/ jog more, as they will not have to find a place to sit. They can use these resting seats. Although these seats are mostly to rest, you might end up building a community.

Vijayanagara EcoVillage at Jigani, is arguably the best community in Bangalore, especially when it comes to footpaths. It is a location that is close to everything. The community is designed to be a Biophilic Community. The Biophilic streets, Social hubs, Active sports zone, Food Forests, Commercial Zone and Village Zones provide ample green space for it to be an ideal community.

The color-coded sections in the footpaths & cycling paths help prevent traffic and accidents. With plenty of social hubs and resting seats, this is a community you cannot miss.
