While Mumbaikars are happy with the pedestrian-friendly makeover at the junction in front of CSMT, which gives them more space to walk and accessibility to cross roads, corporators have opposed the move.

They say there is an increase in the number of accidents involving vehicles there. While the BMC administration said on Wednesday that the initiative is a pilot project for two months and already has permissions from traffic police and the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee, the chairman of the Standing Committee has asked the civic administration to come up with a concrete solution.
