The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to undertake an overhaul of 11 major roads in the areas of Prabhadevi, Mahim, and Dharavi. These include roads around the busy Dadar junction, the Dadar market, and densely populated commercial areas in Dharavi.

The project will be implemented on a pilot basis starting this October in the G North Ward, which comprises Dadar, Mahim, Dharavi, and Prabhadevi. Over several weeks, the civic body shortlisted these roads based on three key parameters: Roads that offer end-to-end connectivity across busy areas and commercial districts with high foot traffic, where pedestrians often walk for last-mile connectivity.

Roads with heavy vehicular movement need pedestrian-friendly infrastructure for safety. Roads frequented by tourists, shoppers, businesspeople, and vendors which require a fresh approach to urban planning and development. The roads include: NC Kelkar Road, Gokhale Road, Jame Jamshed Road in Parsi Colony, Dadar, Takandas Kataria Road near Shivaji Park, 60 Feet Road, Dharavi, 90 Feet Road, Dharavi, Senapati Bapat Road, connecting Dadar and Lower Parel, known for its high-footfall commercial spaces.
