In July 1992, Government appointed the MMRDA as a Special Planning Authority for Kalyan Complex Notified Area after excluding the area within the Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation limits. The newly designated area admeasuring about 252 Sq.Km. includes towns of Ulhasnagar, Ambarnath and Kulgaon-Badlapur. Owing to its proximity to Mumbai and large scale industrialization, this area has experienced rapid urban growth. Considering the need for improving transportation network in this area, the MMRDA carried out through an external Consultant a study on 'Traffic and Transportation Problems' of the area. Based on the existing land use survey and the aforesaid traffic and transportation study, the MMRDA has formulated proposals for the Development Plan of the area. The draft Development Plan will be published in the near future for inviting public suggestions and objections.
