摘要：	Pedestrians, the most vulnerable road user, comprise of more than half of the daily trips generated for different purposes. It has been observed that, over the last few decades the vehicular growth has been exponential resulting in increased vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. Pedestrians had been continuously neglected over a long period but growing global concern due to the high risk of accidents of pedestrian traffic is increasingly becoming the focused issue for planning of pedestrian facilities. It's a universal fact that every trip starts & ends with walk trip, which include all the purpose of trip making. The need for the study has arisen of the fact that the space on roads due to heavy movement of traffic has left little or no space on sidewalk for the movement of pedestrians. A new concept has recently been adopted in American and Asian countries on the development of elevated corridor exclusively for pedestrians' movement connecting different activity centres and work centres to transit areas. While in American and Canadian cities, it was developed to provide weather proof mobility to the pedestrians in extreme climatic conditions. The present study addresses on the development of pedestrian facility such as Skywalk in an institutional area known as Income Tax Office (ITO) area and also to examine its feasibility in terms of economic as well as financial aspects. This study finally concludes with tentative guidelines for the development of Skywalk. It addresses the present condition of the pedestrian, pedestrian infrastructure and their experiences about the existing facilities. During the study it was observed that pedestrians walking in the study area are facing very severe problems in terms of the deteriorating condition of pedestrian infrastructure, inadequate pedestrian facilities. The study reveals that the pedestrians are willing to shift on the proposed facility to ensure their safety.
