Did it work for you?

Many of us have been working with various organizations over the many months triggering various pieces of work that are bits and pieces of the overall puzzle. A sewage line here, a cauvery water line there, a transformer move here etc.. As we had mentioned, we had requested BTP to help us with our traffic woes and given various suggestions. They did their study in response and came back to implement some interesting changes. Whether it worked or not, it sure woke people up. Many like it. And many vocal ones don’t, Some problems are real. Children unable to cross a suddenly busy stretch to board a bus. Big Bazaar signal is a mess. But overall has this plan worked and will some tweaks fix it? Give us your feedback here.

SFC Update

The name is a misnomer. SFC is a Signal Free Corridor but don’t assume it is interruption free. Many residents engaged and have had a big hand in improving what was originally designed. Currently the project is not on track due to land acquisition issues around Kundanahalli Gate. Read more. Here is an update on what we know.

Farmer’s Market this sunday Dec 7th at Forum Value Mall.
Samarthanam will collect e-waste at the venue.

Spotfixes galore in the last few weeks. Stay tuned for a full view of them all in the next edition.

How can we improve the traffic situation in our city?

But for thousands of residents living along the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) corridor—from Thiruporur to Sholinganallur—it has become a recurring nightmare. For the past several years, families in this rapidly growing residential area have lived with a constant uncertainty, not knowing when the next wave of foul-smelling air will arrive. On many evenings, the stench hits after 7 pm. On other days, it surfaces much later—sometimes after 11 pm or in the early hours…

Absent and unusable pavements: Mumbai breaches its own Footpath Policy

by Shruti Gokarn October 30, 2026 Civic

The city's unsafe footpaths put pedestrian's lives at risk. The suburbs, where the majority of Mumbaikars live, are worst affected.

“Who walks on footpaths anymore?” asks Abhay Shanbagh, a Vile Parle resident in his sixties. He says the footpath in front of his house is not even fully visible because of the cars parked along it and sometimes on it. Neha Dholam, a domestic worker who walks about two hours daily in Ghatkopar and Vile Parle, has a similar response. She wonders which footpaths I am talking about since they are barely visible behind parked vehicles en route to her workplace. This is the lived reality of so many Mumbaikars even though over half of all trips in Mumbai are…
