Parked motorcycles and cars become pedestrians' nemesis, residents' headache

Bikes parked on the footpath opposite Metro theatre on Anandilal Podar Marg
Heavy parking on footpaths seems to be the norm outside major city hospitals with no space to walk on it, and along many stretches, even blocking access to the main gates of hospitals. Forget ramps or safe passages for the disabled, there seems to be little space even for pedestrians, with most taken up by parked vechicles.
