Borivali station’s chaotic entry points may soon see a Bandra-style makeover. After visiting the redeveloped Bandra West precinct, MLA Sanjay Upadhyay (BJP) has proposed a similar commuter-friendly redesign with organised auto stands, bus bays, and pedestrian space for one of Mumbai’s busiest suburban stations.
