On traffic management, Randhawa assured that improvement works are ongoing on key arteries such as Expressway, Margalla Road, Club Road, Park Road, and Faisal Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include road widening, lane markings, sidewalk repair, green belt development, and beautification of right-of-ways. \u201cUrban forest projects and roundabout renovations are being prioritized to tackle air and land pollution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was also briefed on the city\u2019s road beautification initiative, which includes horticulture and landscaping along model highways, seasonal flower beds, wooden signboards, and the installation of aesthetically designed planters. According to CDA officials, the initiative has been \u201cwell-received by the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randhawa also instructed a complete overhaul of parks in every sector of Islamabad, covering walking tracks, swings, lighting, and plantation work. \u201cEvery effort and resource must be channeled toward elevating Islamabad\u2019s residential, transport, sports, and recreational facilities to the highest standards,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
