These roads run north-south and connect the Shivajinagar and Ganeshkhind areas to the Deccan Gymkhana and old city areas. There are many schools, colleges, offi ces, restaurants and commercial establishments around this area making these two roads among the busiest in the city.

This report critically analyzes both the decision making process behind this scheme and the impacts of the scheme on citizens of Pune.
