The BMC’s traffic department has expressed willingness to hear out residents and activists who have been vocal in their opposition to a plan for a parking lot beneath a part of Patwardhan Park in Bandra West. In a letter to residents on Tuesday evening, the BMC promised to meet with them. However, the venue, date and time are yet to be fixed.

There is a pre-bid meeting regarding three underground parking lots, including the one at the park, on March 31 and residents plan to attend it to get a clear picture. Since March 20, many residents have sent emails to the traffic division of the roads department raising objections as it had floated a tender for the construction of a three-storey parking lot under a portion of Patwardhan Park.
