Locating toilets<br />
• Toilets can be located with access from the pavement but not occupying the clear<br />
footpath zone.<br />
• Toilets such as the one located on the corner of K Dubash Marg is built in the middle<br />
of the pavement. In such cases it is advisable that the pavement is widened around the<br />
toilet to maintain the width of the pedestrian path.<br />
Way forward<br />

Many more public drinking water fountains need to be<br />
provided in the suggested localities in utility zones of<br />
pavement or other appropriate spaces.<br />
Water fountains need to be located in the following<br />
areas:<br />

2) Renovating Heritage pyaavs - Heritage pyaavs that<br />
are neglected and disused should be conserved and<br />
renovated and brought back into public use. These<br />
traditional piyaos are a heritage sensitive answer to the<br />
need for water fountains in the fort precinct.<br />
