The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has officially approved plans to build bicycle tracks and pedestrian pathways across Islamabad. This initiative actively aims to upgrade city infrastructure and improve urban management.
CDA Chairman and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Ali Randhawa, finalized this decision today during a meeting at the CDA headquarters. Senior officials from the administration, engineering, planning, and environment departments attended the session. Consequently, officials briefed the Chairman on ongoing residential and commercial projects. Currently, the authority is repairing parking areas, improving footpaths, and upgrading commercial and Class-III shopping zones.
To boost accessibility, Randhawa directed the construction of bicycle tracks alongside existing footpaths. Furthermore, he mandated the creation of pedestrian-friendly pathways within major commercial centers. These additions will significantly enhance public safety. Meanwhile, the CDA will also expand the city’s digital parking systems. Infrastructure plans additionally include installing better signboards and improving lane markings.
Alongside these infrastructure upgrades, the CDA is launching a renewed enforcement drive. Therefore, Chairman Randhawa ordered the immediate removal of all illegal constructions and encroachments across residential and commercial areas. Finally, officials received strict instructions to prioritize routine city maintenance. This includes regular landscaping and the urgent repair of manholes, curbstones, and drainage systems in affected areas.
