Can you imagine the traffic-heavy CSMT road junction becoming a pedestrian haven? Janette Sadik Khan, a former New York Traffic Commissioner, who transformed Times Square from a busy street with movement of hundreds of vehicles into a pedestrian hub, will be taking on this challenge. On her India tour, Khan shared her experience from her current role at Bloomberg Associates as well as her former position in New York.

The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, Mumbai Traffic Police, Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety and other NGOs will transform 19 intersections, making them more pedestrian friendly and redesigning roads for the convenience of motorists. National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO)'s 'Global Designing Cities Initiatives' with Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), and WRI India with Mumbai Municipal Corporation and Mumbai Traffic Police have launched the 'Reclaiming streets for Mumbai with the Global Street Design Guide' initiative.
