Tired of bungling bureaucrats and flawed transportation plans such as the jazzy Rs 700 crore skywalks that lie unused or random cycle paths that end up nowhere, more than 50 of the city’s leading transport and traffic experts including townplanners, transportation engineers, architects, environmentalists and retired urban development officials have joined hands to work on a master plan that they hope will finally solve the city’s unending traffic woes. And for now at least, they have the government’s ears.

Skywalks across the city, which the MMRDA spent Rs 700 crores building, are scarcely used and poorly maintained. File Photo
