23-Apr-2012. The draft "Development Plan and DC Rules" for old Pune City limits includes many provisions and proposals which are detrimental to the city and can permanently damage the city. SPTM has studied proposals related to traffic and transportation. In order to protect the future of our city's transportation, it is imperative that all concerned citizens register their objections in writing with PMC. You can simply download this file, edit suitably, take a printout and submit to PMC latest by 26th April 2013. Act now to protect our city! This is absolutely worth taking a half day casual leave! |

23-Aug-2012. Very soon SPTM and Rotary Club of Pune Shivajinagar are jointly going to launch a major program to improve children's safety. We intend to distribute reflective tapes to 50,000 school children from Pune. Affixing them on their backpacks, shoes, racket covers - or whatever they wear or use in late evenings - will help drivers see them better. We also hope that affixing such a tape on a child's item also tells the parents that they need to drive safely on roads! |

05-Nov-2011. A proposal to revamp Pune's signal system. The signal system we have has some inherent design flaws. There are flaws in the way the signal poles are located, U turns are allowed, timings for the signal cycles are determined, etc etc. SPTM has identified 14 such flaws. Some of them could lead to some seriously hazardous situations. We have documented them all in this document. We have submitted this document to the PMC Commissioner with a request to make a special budgetary allocation for 2012-13, because these flaws cannot be fixed as "maintenance issues". We need a special project to make our signals safer. |
