The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has planned to beautify footpaths of around 90-km stretch in island city including central Mumbai. Under this plan, the paver blocks will be removed to make way for the cement concrete surface of the pavements. Under this project, footpaths at 33 locations including Dadar, Churchgate, Marines Lines, Colaba, Kemps Corner, Walkeshwar have been identified in the island city and central Mumbai. The project to beautify the footpaths at five locations in the city will be taken up on the line of the improved footpaths around the Fort area in south Mumbai. Ravi Raja, leader of Opposition and BMC corporator said, “Spending huge sum of money on the conversion of footpaths from paver blocks to cement is the sheer wastage of money.
