The plan will enable the construction of pedestrian walkways as well as cycling lanes in strategic transport corridors across the capital. We are now working on more along Jogoo Road and Westlands,” said NMS Director-General Mohamed Badi“The non-motorised transport corridors will not only offer safety to pedestrians and cyclists but also contribute to decongestion on the roads. The Jogoo Road corridor covers 10km from Outer Ring-Jogoo-Landhies-Haile Selassie, with bicycle parking at the Kenya Railways station at Sh155 million. There will also be another corridor running from Upper Hill (community) through Uhuru Park–City Hall Way–Luthuli/Ronald Ngala–River Road–Landhies connecting to Jogoo Road.
