PMC decided to remove the BRTS corridor between Sathe Biscuit Chowk and Chandrama Hotel (Deccan College Chowk) on Alandi Road to ease traffic congestion. On April 20, senior road department officials including superintendent engineer Ashish Jadhav and executive engineer Sanjay Dharav inspected the site for feasibility. Removing the dedicated BRTS lane will increase effective road width, improve vehicular speed, and save fuel and travel time. Former MLA Sunil Tingre and corporator Suhas Tingre had demanded removal, citing accidents and congestion. The BRTS stretch from Sangamwadi Bridge to Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk is about 550 metres; the section from Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk to Deccan College Chowk is about 1.5 km. Flyover work is ongoing at both ends. Parts near Sathe Biscuit Chowk have already been dismantled. The administration will decide based on local demands. Portions of the BRT lane on Ahmednagar Road have already been removed in the last two years due to poor utilisation and safety concerns.

• Villagers have protested the proposed railway line from Talegaon Dabhade to Uruli Kanchan, asking that it be shifted elsewhere.
• They say much of their land has already been acquired for MIDC and ring road projects, and the new rail line will take the remaining land.
• In June, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar announced a new railway line to connect Talegaon to Shikrapur via Uruli Kanchan in the first phase, and Shikrapur to Daund later.
• The proposed corridor will run parallel to development on Pune’s outer ring road.
• Farmers and residents of Kuruli, Nighoje, Moi, Chimbali, Dehu Gaon and other villages oppose the project and want it bypassed elsewhere.
• Rohan Gaikwad of Kuruli said the government has already acquired land for MIDC industries and Pune’s ring road, leaving negligible land.
• He said the rail line would force the entire village to shift and leave villagers without an earning resource.
• Sonu Yelwande of Nighoje said the project would destroy farm lands, schools, age-old temples and houses.
• The Lonavala-Pune railway line expansion is said to improve use of the outer railway bypass for traffic management, boost industrial activity in Chakan and Bhosari MIDC, increase transport infrastructure in the region, and reduce pressure on Pune Railway Junction.
• Villagers have met political leaders including Sharad Pawar, Ramdas Athawale, Appa Barne, Sunil Shelke and the PMRDA chief, and passed resolutions through their Grampanchayats.

Fergusson College Road hosts thousands of daily vehicles fighting for space on a narrow road ill-equipped for traffic volume. Landmarks include Café Good Luck, Fergusson College, Hotel Vaishali, and a cosmetics market. A law student reported taking more time to cover 1 km from Deccan Corner to college than 5 km from Karve Nagar to Deccan Corner during morning hours. Footpaths encroached by shops make pedestrian movement difficult. Business owners report customers avoid evening visits due to lack of parking; a cake shop owner witnesses daily disputes between traffic officials and illegally parked commuters. Few legal parking spots exist; most are occupied, forcing people to park on footpaths or no-parking zones and receive fines. Illegal hawkers occupy FC Road, exacerbated by PMC's halt on issuing fresh licenses since 2017. A tea stall vendor pays ₹3,000–4,000 to retrieve his stall after anti-encroachment drives. PMC officials state no permanent fix exists; licenses will only be issued in newly merged villages. Traffic congestion peaks at 9am and 6pm on weekdays, particularly at Garware Chowk and Dnyaneshwar Paduka Chowk. Narrow road width at Deccan Corner causes traffic from JM Road, Peth areas, and Kothrud–Paud Road to clog Garware Chowk. AI-enabled CCTV cameras issuing automatic challans for vehicles parked over three minutes have slightly improved traffic movement. Officials suggest bollards to prevent two-wheelers on footpaths and call for citizens to follow parking rules and avoid wrong-side driving.
