2.00 Project Description

Brief description of the 1) The totaa;o of trips -ade by Mofussil buses arc 1704 per hour and 71 buses
2.01
project departs From the terminal per hour on a average and the peak hour departure of
Mofussil buses 774 buses (10am -'llam) and town buses are 48 (7pm - 8pm)'

202 Justification for the lihe existlng bus terminal was constructed in the year 1980 at a total extent
project of 5.75 acre Lrnder the class A category with 52 number her of bus bays This bus
terminal is located at a prime location in the CBD area where all the live maior roads
from Salem, Krishnagri , Hosur Banglore and Chennai intersects with Dharmapuri
town area. This bus terminal lies within the Dharmapuri Municipality boundary and it
sereves for both Mofussil and localservices
2.The existing bus stand has two separate entrances and exits for lnterstate Bus
Terminal (ISBT) and local bus terminal, both the point are 30 meters wide The entry
point of both bus stations is from Salem Hosllr road. However, the approach road
-
for Mofussil and Locat bus terminal is 6Om wide due to heaw Bus movement and
lesser turning radius, traffic congestion and collision congestion persisls'
@ucture sector that facilitates the groMh of
business, seamless flow of investment, trade and tourism, with significant multiplier
effects across the economy. The road transport sector is one of the prime movers
for economic growth and astrategic element of employment generation, besides
providing bus transport for passengers and qoods. Rapidly expanding allied
 infrastructure facilities will fLrel the growth of the economic status of Municipality.
The existing bus stand has several limitations such as space constraints traffic
congestion, diiapidated structures and several other discrepancies that were noted
and analysed during the site visit by our technical team comprising of a transport.
planner, urban planner, architect and civil engineer
4. The image of the existing bus terminal is not on par with the modern
architecture or any smart tech nologies. The bus termlnal buried away behind
adjoining shop units and has a minimal and insufficient public interface. The
building lacks natural ventilate on and it does not possess. Any sustainable
Ieatures. The concourse area is insufficiently wide in places, resulting internal
congestion. Transport interchanges provide one oI the first and last impressions for
a visitor to a city center and it is not considered that the existing bus station
provides a suitable gateway for Dharmapud town
5. Stakeholder consultations are a key stage of any project, as views of interested
parties will play a major role in the design process. lt is imperative that the views of
Stakeholders are reflected in the planning of any project. This is to ensure that all
affected parties / agencies have the required ownership of the project to ensure its
smooth execution and imptementation.
The proposal to shift the Mofussil Bus Stand from its existing location to the
proposed site is likely to have impacts on different stakeholders. Several different
government agencies will be involved in the process of constructing a new bus
stand and shifting bus services from the old facility: The Proiect learn has carried
out initial discussions with identified Stakeholders, including:
1) Directorate of Town and Country Planning
2) Tamil Nadu State Transport Department
3) Police Department
4) Tamil Nadu State Highways Department
5) National Highways Authority of lndia
6) Public and Bus operators
The site is located in A. Reddi Halli Village ,Sogathur Panchayat, Dharmapuri at an
extent of 10.02 acre. The distance between the existing bus stand and the proposed
site is 3.Okm. The connectivity between the existing bus stand and the proposed
location is via State Highways Pennagaram Road.
