We analyse multimodal connectivity, functional road hierarchy, intersection performance, pedestrian/cycling infrastructure, parking and intermediate public transport (IPT) operations, and land‑use interfaces in each station area. Using a replicable GIS-based methodology (OpenStreetMap network data, publicly available corridor maps, and open imagery), we assess 500 m, 1 km, and 2 km catchments, identify network gaps, and propose a prioritised set of low‑cost and capital projects for seamless multimodal integration with the under‑construction Meerut Metro as well as city buses and IPT. The study concludes with a station‑wise improvement plan, an implementation roadmap, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor progress.</p> Binod Kumar Singh, Sonjoli Kaushik Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Advanced Research in Geo Sciences & Remote Sensing https://thejournalshouse.com/index.php/geoscience-remotesensing-earth/article/view/1659 Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000
