Walkways to lights, Noida's Transport Nagar Chowk set for a facelift
Noida: The Authority has sanctioned a Rs 4-crore beautification project for Transport Nagar Chowk in Sector 67, following the success of its first model road from Shashi Chowk to Noida City Centre. The space has been designed by Orionn Architects. The project will transform a 500-metre stretch along DS Road into a safe, accessible, and visually appealing public space. It will feature tree-lined pedestrian walkways, landscaped greenery, decorative lighting, sculptures, benches, bollards, and ramps for differently-abled access. A proper drainage system will be installed within the green belt, and kiosks will be set up near the roundabout. Rainwater harvesting will also be incorporated to divert water toward the ground rather than into sewage drains.

Building on the positive response to the model road, the Authority decided to replicate the concept in other parts of the city, starting with Sector 67. "A tender was floated, and many companies have submitted their bids. The Authority is now in the process of finalising the agency that will be engaged in the project," said DGM (civil) Vijay Kumar Rawal, adding that this is the latest step in Noida Authority's ongoing efforts to make its public spaces greener, safer, and more accessible.
