25/7/2016 jitendra _ I propose to build a website and an app. If possible html5 or android depending on skills available. So Windows Walsh can use the site.

The site you gave is really good for interface etc.

Will try and keep that as model for some interface.

I depend entirely on volunteer students. So I dont promise like a vendor.

I will start a document recording wishlist of an RTP app. It will have sections like interface, features, data, platform , management(governance), hosting etc

Will share the link on this group.

Any one can message here or offline to me, or call me for suggestions

28/7/2016 Supriya _ RIGHT TO PEE COMPAIGN Suggestions for the toilets in DCR and DP.

Public toilets seem to have been unattended and ignored in the general rules under the DCR - Development Control Regulations or under the DP - Development plan for all types of public spaces i.e open spaces, gardens, bus stands, railway stations, bazars, near religious places etc. The City of Mumbai needs to provide public toilet facilities, with special attention to customizing them specifically for women.

Hence we demand to include specific needs for women toilet blocks as a social amenities in DP and DCR of Mumbai.

A) For DP #

The Toilets should be earmarked on land use plans under these pertaining zones.

• Residential
• Commercial
• Industrial
• Public/ Institutional
• Open Spaces
• Transportation
• Port
• Rail
• Recreation
• Forest
• Truck Terminal
• Roads
• Airports

B) for DCR #

• Appropriate additions have to be made in the DCR under each of these reservations with individual plots and developments having to build a certain size of toilet based on their plot size and FSI available.
• A minimum size of plot has to be identified under the prescribed zones favourable for building public toilets. Say for example, a plot size more than 1000sq.mt. private or public, has to have a minimum (X) number of public toilet seats to be built and provided free of cost to the municipal corporation. Certain subsidy in cost can be provided by the Municipality.
• A separate access point has to be planned and ensured that it is available throughout the day for public use (atleast 10 Hrs.).
• Every Zone has to have a prescribed minimum and maximum number of toilet seats to be provided under these regulations for private plots and government owned plots. With government taking additional responsibility in terms of toilet numbers.
• No benefits (in FSI or any other factor) are expected to be returned in favour of the built toilet under this regulation. Although certain tax benefits can be considered for the plots which are enforced to build public toilets on their premises to avoid any misuse of the built-up area permissible.
• A detailed minimum requirement of building codes should be added in the DCR which is followed in all the toilets built under these development regulations. This will ensure the minimum hygiene and light and ventilation requirements of the built public toilet.
• The DCR should ensure these rules percolates and becomes an important application which is compulsory and respected similar to the regulations of sustainability like rain water harvesting, waste segregation systems etc.
• In DCR under Section 22.7 and Section 31-Drainage and Sanitory Requirements and following tables from 18 to 31 essentially give the number of toilets required as per density and other basic detailed requirements of WC, taps, nahni traps and urinals.
• It would make the provisions binding on all developers of public toilets constructed and maintained by either by government or private or under the PPP to follow the standard specifications, especially for women. Hence we demand specification of standards for construction of toilet blocks taking into consideration not only the present but the future needs and also to overcome the present severe shortage in all the new proposals.
• Appropriate height of the windows from the ground level ensure extra privacy for the users. Here the achieved height is 8’ including the plinth which is way higher than general pedestrians or troublemakers height. The windows or ventilators are to be translucent and not transparent for privacy concerns. It will allow enough light inside and not a visual of activities inside. A metal grill will ensure no unrequired access given to miscreants.
• Signboards as to location of toilets should be made mandatory. As the society is changing fast, and women are moving in the city at all the times in large numbers, their concerns for security and safety should be considered paramount while providing public facilities in Mumbai. May be such provisions should be near police stations, security areas and not hidden away from the main thoroughfare.

Most importantly public participation and participation of women’s organizations in each area should be involved in the design / structure for public amenities for accessibility, safety, cleanliness and sustainability.

Revised Development Plan

• There is no unanimity in the DCR rules , DP report and Maps as far as toilets are concerned
• Section 9 deals with chapter on Gender mentions 20% for Public Convenience which is inadequate for Mumbai
• Sanitation has been considered under Chapter of Environment
• only one toilet per ward is located which is highly inadequate.
