Dispersal plan to tackle jams at Worli end

He added that the rotary at the Trata junction has been reduced for smooth flow of traffic while the island at RG Thadani junction has been reduced. “The BMC has also been generous enough to part with their land at Love Grove pumping station which will help vehicles to turn smoothly,” he added.

Meanwhile,the Worli residents who have been protesting against the use of Worli sea face road,as it will become an obstacle for large number of pedestrians,will have a skywalk just at the mouth of the sea link.

“The skywalk has been proposed at the Worli sea face and the work would start once environmental clearances are obtained,” Barve added. However,residents of the area do not feel the skywalk will help. “The BSWL would further congest the Worli Dairy Road especially during the peak hours. The increase in the density of vehicles would add to the woes of the pedestrians,” said Prabhakar Sawkar,a Worli resident.

Barve said that two jetties should be constructed for manning the sea link. “While the underbellies of the bridge will have CCTVs,two jetties should be constructed at Mahim and Worli navigation channels as part of the coastal security,” he requested.

Dazzled by the show
Jasjit Narang,a chartered accountant from Bandra reclamation,said,“The show was something to watch for. It mostly happens in foreign countries during the opening ceremony of some major tournament”. Commenting on the sea-link Narang said,“It’s going to save a lot of travel time for me.”

Varun Mathur who works in a production house saw the laser show from Dadar Chowpatty. He said,“The show should have lasted longer. It was spectacular. I am now just waiting to drive my new car on the sea-link.”

Manish Mehta,a businessman dealing in cars had come with his son to watch the show. He said,“Its absolutely fantastic,it’s a great thing for Mumbai and I don’t need to use it everyday but will surely take my wife on drive here.”
