- The Walk is to highlight that there are many progressive and intelligent solutions to the current problems of traffic congestion that do not involve destruction of thousands of trees, businesses and homes.
- The Walk is to emphasise the importance of including public consultations as required by law in road widening and Metro construction proposals. (Currently, both projects are being rushed through in blatant violation of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, amongst others.)
- The Walk is to emphasise that the Metro is a solution that can work only if integrated with bus based transport modes.
- The Walk is to assert our right to participate in decision making relating to projects of our city.
