Mumbai's Breach Candy neighborhood will convene a town hall meeting on September 5th to discuss the impact of the proposed Coastal Gardens on the local area. Residents are worried about traffic congestion, parking, and pedestrian safety, as outlined in the revised masterplan submitted by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
At the meeting, scheduled to start at 10 am at Cymroza Art Gallery, the BCRF will reiterate their demand for a Napean Sea Road exit, which residents consider a crucial link to the Coastal Road and essential for reducing strain on nearby roads. The masterplan for Coastal Gardens suggests three to five exits from the Breach Candy stretch, which could exacerbate traffic concerns, especially as the plan includes a seven-and-a-half-kilometer end-to-end pathway and numerous amenities.
The BMC has not yet decided on the NSR Exit road or a flyover due to its proximity to existing landscaping and amenities along the Coastal Road. However, if the BMC proceeds with the RIL masterplan, a Napean Sea Road exit is deemed necessary, according to a neighborhood resident.
