Samarthyam said that the design was unsafe and so most people are forced to walk on the road that witnesses heavy vehicular traffic.

There were also no boards to identify the bicycle track. The organisation had undertaken a mobility and accessibility audit with a senior representative of UTTIPEC and a representative of the civic body.
