Giving pedestrianisation a once over, especially after the Shiv Sena has come to power in the state, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) intends to work on developing the city's aesthetics and ensuring that pedestrians are given more importance.

While the civic body had been planning to undertake this task for a long time, on Tuesday, Municipal Commissioner (MC) Praveen Pardeshi gave instructions to a few ward officials to initiate putting up uniform private and public signages around shops across the city, along with ensuring uniform lengths and widths of footpaths and roads.
