Authorities have invited tenders for the installation of cycle stands as well as the provision of cycles; RTI activists discourage move as the track is in a poor condition and no one uses it
Officials from Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) aren’t giving up on the 13-km cycling track project at G Block in BKC. After it was revealed that the MMRDA had wasted funds on the project without doing a feasibility survey (‘RTI: No survey done for Rs 6.5-cr BKC cycle track’, January 2, 2012), authorities are now inviting tenders to install street furniture, which will also include providing cycle stands and bicycles of international standards for the public.

RTI activists say that even if cycles are provided free of cost, no one would use the track as it is in a very poor condition. File pic
