The biggest problem with Mumbai's footpaths is माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC itself Entire city is dug up, and footpaths are blocked for reconstruction. There is illegal parking on both sides of the road, forcing pedestrians to walk in the middle of the road. This is Mahavir Nagar, Kandivali West.

The irony is that the 'Roads, Traffic, and Bridges' department of the BMC is also responsible for constructing footpaths. When an agency primarily focused on roads is tasked with footpath construction, the planning will naturally lean towards road development.

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info When I was a kid this road had a wider footpath. BMC has narrowed it down over the past two decades.

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info Andheri lokhandwala footpath. Veera Desai road,JP road all access to Andheri RTO r dug up. All for commission,not for people's convenience. Newly made concrete roads also dug up. @zoru75 @CMOMaharashtra

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info Seeing such roads & footpaths, I honestly feel that we pedestrians should start walking right in the middle of the road. Let there be traffic issue. Because unless you create enough noise, these officials don't even pay heed to your grievance.

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info The whole Mahavir nagar has become a menace. Illegal hawkers, no footpaths or encroached if any. For the unknown, mahavir nagar is probably the richest area in Kandivali west.

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info Why roads have to be so repeatedly dug up every where? This is a never ending work...if this is the case, why can't they lay some pipes and cable pulling wires inside so incase of need to lay new cables, it can be pulled thru pipes..@mybmcRoads @mieknathshinde @anandmahindra

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info Here from same area, Mahavir Nagar and Dahanukarwadi..

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info Yes it is very very unfortunate the beautiful city is in shambles..don’t any expect any response from anyone the BMC/ COPS or politicians …because they don’t care @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde @CPMumbaiPolice @mybmc

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info Will BMC do so much digging works in South Mumbai area ? Even if, will they leave the dug up place like that for months before patching it up? Suburbs treated so badly...@ramkadam @AmeetSatam @VidyaThakurBJP @rameshlatke @SunilRaut65 @SunilRaneBJP @Devendra_Office @pallavict

@mybmc @MNCDFbombay @mumbaimatterz @RoadsOfMumbai @ChandivaliCCWA @mulund_info It is all over MMR! This is Ganesh Mandir Road, Wadala west. Both sides of the footpath is blocked, pedestrian have to walk in the middle. In this video it is blocked since years!
