From forming corridors for school buses and emergency vehicles and clearing alternative routes to meeting with the chief minister, Andheri residents were brimming with suggestions to bring ease to commuters as the Gokhale Road bridge was shut on Sunday at midnight. An online petition has also been started, requesting speedy construction of the bridge. Around 2,000 citizens have already signed it within a day.
In view of the closure of the bridge, a social media group was formed with over 500 residents. It has listed out priorities and suggestions which the authorities and locals can collectively take up.
