Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday started work on redesigning the existing bollards on the footpaths of Baba Saheb Ambedkar Road, near the Dadar and Matunga areas. The bollards have been installed to restrict two-wheeler motorists from reaching the footpaths and jeopardising pedestrian safety.
BMC`s work came in response to a letter written to the civic body`s F/North ward office by the Matunga division of the Mumbai Traffic Police, following complaints from residents and subsequent follow-up by Mid-Day.
