5 The Big Four Agenda A People Affordably Housed and Well Fed A Wealthy Working and Healthy Nation 5

6 Supporting Infrastructure as a Key Driver to Affordable Housing There are 6 Main drivers to the 1 Million affordable housing program, one of them is the Supporting Infrastructure [Urban Roads Development] Urban Roads Development

7 Ongoing Urban Roads Projects in Eastland's Area in Support the Proposed Renewal Plan LOT NO. LENGTH (KM) [Blue] [Green] [Red] Total

8 Why KURA? KURA ensures that these Key Design principles are observed when designing for access and movement within urban spaces defined in the development framework for affordable housing 8

9 Roads identified as an Enabler to Manufacturing, Food Security and Universal Health Care Urban Roads as Enabler 9

10 Other Projects With Strategic Development Partners Nairobi Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Integrated Systems in which information and communication technologies are applied, in among others; Traffic Management Center [TMC] Framework Road transport, including transport infrastructure, in transport vehicles and users, ITS Infrastructure Design & Installation Traffic management and mobility management at nodal and network level, Interfaces with other modes of transport e.g. BRT and railway Proposed Nairobi TMC E-Police cameras to record violations Pilot TMC at KURA HQ 10

11 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Designs of Lines 3, 4 and 5 Proposed Bus Rapid Transit routes Section of Outer Ring Road showing space left out for future BRT lanes KURA has initiated a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) concept and design in Kenya with Feasibility studies and Engineering Designs of Lines 3, 4 and 5 at advance stages in collaboration with development partners and other Government Agencies. 11

12 Proposed Viaduct Over Nairobi Railways Station Study Stage: Preliminary level Study Area: CBD and periphery of CBD as per the NIUPLAN concept Higher Plan: 2 metropolitan development projects namely NaMSIP and NIUPLAN respecting Kenya and Metro Vision Purpose: To improve accessibility to the CBD plus surrounding area and decongestion Necessary Harmonization: The Viaduct project and ongoing NaMSIP projects i.e Green mall project (to avoid overlap of the projects) Challenges: coordination with affected facilities (KRC Properties, Bus Terminal ( in front of railway station), Moi Avenue Parking Lot, NCC Market (Wakulima Market), 12

13 Moi Av. Proposed Viaduct The Simplified Design Concept Enterprise Rd. Improvement Haile Selassie Jct Moi, Race Course, Wakulima, Landhies Construction of Pedestrian Bridge Improvement of Station Road L=0.2km Haile Selassie Av. Railway Station New Market Market Building Police Post 20m wide Road Construction of New East-West Rd L=1.5km Commercial St. Construction of Viaduct L=720m Lusaka Rd. Construction of Enterprise Rd L=0.9km Widening of Enterprise Rd L=0.7km 13

14 NMT Facility Networks Improvement Decongestion Project in CBD area JICA Study Green Mall Project Mass Rapid Transit System F/S - Enterprise Road Expansion (Homa Bay Rd.- Likoni Rd. Flyover) - Capacity Enhancement of A104 from JKIA Turn Off to Likoni Junction [KenHA] BRT Line 3 & Line 4 West

15 Proposed 2 nd Nyali Bridge Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Maintain and Transfer PPP Contract, for: New 600m Bridge across Tudor Creek, Mombasa; together with 1.7km New Roads Expansion of 5km of existing roads on a 30 Year Contract, with an Availability Based Payment Mechanism Estimated Capital Cost: $200m 15

16 Examples of Challenges Experienced due to Uncoordinated Planning Narrow Corridors = [Need for Land Acquisition] Encroachments by traders due to lack of Markets =[Need for RAP] Illegal Allocation on Road Truncations = [ Need for Demolition/ enforcement/revocations of Title Utility Services Lying on road Construction Space = [Need for Service Relocation] 16
