Mereweather Road in Colaba which is located close to Radio Club, and off Garden Hotel, is all set to become brighter. The leafy little road with some charming, old-style residences is all set for an upgrade in illumination. The road which does have streetlights all along, will see more light thanks to the existing lights becoming double-pronged. The project started on Friday morning. One more arm is being added to each streetlight. “The lights already have one arm, but one more is being added,” said Capt Sanjay Bawle, Colaba local. “Now these lights will resemble a ‘V’ shape,” he added.
It is V for victory for residents and activists who believe that lighting is one facet never to be flippant about. It leads to greater safety. “The Mereweather road, though not as small and narrow as a by-lane, is tucked away inside the main road and can get fairly lonely as dusk falls, the workforce goes home and residents too move indoors. Shoppers too, a most visible Colaba feature generally do not use this road. More visibility is a deterrent to some unwanted activities, but it is not the only one,” they stated as they gathered at a corner of the road and celebrated as the BEST began its work.
