Abstract: Walking is the ubiquitous form of transport. They are commonly used by the people to travel shorter distance for their everyday activities and is the most relevant mode of transport for the people using public transportations and for people having no vehicles. It has been observed that, over the last few decades, the vehicular growth has been exponential, resulting in increased vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. Pedestrians had been continuously neglected over a long period in terms of ease of journey and safety. Due to heavy traffic, pedestrians are not being able to have a smooth and comfort walk thus increasing the delay time of them. The irregular shape and poor maintenance of footpath makes it difficult for the pedestrians to use the footpath. Due to inadequate facility provided for the pedestrian movement, there exist a conflict between pedestrian and motor vehicle by sharing a limited space of road, and it results in increase of the road accident ratio. Hence it has become a global concern and led to the formulation of better planning of pedestrian facilities. The present study addresses the contracts involved in the development of pedestrian facilities, such as Skywalk, at GENPACT, DLF PHASE 5, an EPC project. Skywalk is purposed to provide an effective disposal of commuter from station area to location like offices, bus stop, taxi stand, off road etc. This case involves the study of feasibility in terms of its contracts, the connectivity and the commercial aspects.
