25 With just a week left for the Bus Rapid Transit System to open for the public, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit went for an early morning spin on the corridor today. The CM said she found some "glitches' on the corridor and made a slew of recommendations to her officers, to be implemented before it opens to the public. "There are some glitches but all these will be sorted out before it opens to the public. For instance, the lighting on the corridor is yet to be completed. It needs to be well lit and the traffic signals need to be in place. This will be taken care of soon,' said the Chief Minister. She said in order to make the bus stops located at the centre of the road easily accessible to the commuters, the government will install zebra crossings and pelican lights near each of them. "I have also directed the officers to install high wall-like barricades along the corridors so that pedestrians or cyclists can't race across the corridor. Of course, there will be gaps in these high barricades, which will function as access points for the pedestrians,' said Dikshit. At least 14 traffic policemen will be recruited on this stretch to monitor and regulate the traffic, she said. "I have met the Police Commissioner in this regard and he has assured all his support. Our traffic wardens for the area are not enough to ensure that the corridor is a success, as the traffic police command more authority,' said Dikshit adding that during her inspection, she twice saw cars trying to jump over the lane segregating barriers. This is a matter of concern. We will not open the corridor until it is completely finished,' she said. Reiterating the CM's concerns, Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta, who also visited the corridor site in the presence of transport officials and TRIPP IIT on Tuesday evening, said that trial runs along the corridor will be conducted only after everything on the corridor is in place. "The traffic signals will take at least two weeks to be set up and we still need to discipline the traffic. We have noticed that many buses and vehicles try to use the pedestrian pathways as roads,' Mehta said. "The green area separating the lanes and roads need to be in place to discourage car owners and buses from taking the pathways,' he added. Mehta also instructed the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to remove the encroachments along the pedestrian pathways near Sheikh Sarai. Admitting that she was originally opposed to the idea of a BRTS corridor, the Chief Minister said, "It is true that I was hesitant about the concept, especially keeping in mind the indiscipline on Delhi's roads. But we were also hesitant about the Delhi Metro till the first small trial stretch took off and now it is doing well. Depending on the observations made from the running of this pilot corridor, designing and functioning of the other six will be determined by the government,' she concluded.
