The BMC has started installing barricades on medians at Marine Drive to stop pedestrians from crossing the road. Though the civic body said the decision to install the barriers was taken following requests from the Marine Drive traffic division and a residents’ association, the latter is not happy with the installation. The association said the barricades won’t serve the purpose and instead, will restrict the view.
mid-day had done a series in February on the BMC’s beautification that involved working with dividers, actually causing issues for pedestrians. The BMC had floated a tender worth Rs 82 lakh to install barricades on Marine Drive and the installation work has started near Kilachand Chowk. The barricades will cover the stretch right from NCPA to the Princess Street flyover.
