Project for pedestrians at Colaba 40% complete, to be ready by December
Pegged at an estimated cost of Rs 5 crore, the project by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seeks to uplift the pedestrian infrastructure along 210 metres between Deepak Jog Chowk near Mantralaya and Bhai Bhandarkar Chowk, near Badhwar Park.
The civic body is developing stamped concrete footpaths, vibrant 3D street art as well as a multi-utility corridor for landscaping works along the earmarked lanes as part of the project, funded by the district planning and development committee as well as the tourism department.
Ashoka trees and ornamental plants will be planted on the stretch while beautifying the boundary wall at Badhwar Park.
According to officials, the first phase of the project was decided owing to its proximity to Machimaar Nagar — one of the oldest fishing villages of the city. Following completion of phase I, the BMC is eyeing to ultimately extend the project until Cuffe Parade.
On Sunday, Makarand Narwekar, former BJP corporator from Colaba, said work on the project is nearly 40 per cent complete and slated to be executed entirely by year end.
'With wider footpaths, dedicated green corridors, improved lighting, and organised pedestrian zones, this project will greatly enhance the walking experience in the area for everyone,' said Narwekar.

Top stocks to buy or sell today: Stock recommendations for July 7, 2025 - here's what brokerages are saying
Top stocks to buy or sell (AI image) Nuvama has downgraded its rating on Trent to hold from buy and cut its target price to Rs 5,884 from Rs 6,627. The analysts believe Trent Hypermarket (Star Bazaar) can become bigger than Westside and Zudio given the size of the food industry. Star Bazaar is focused on the company's branded products while Big Basket is relatively more expensive. There are no plans to merge these two businesses. Trent plans to add over 250 stores in all formats combined for FY26 and may add more depending on market conditions and availability of investable properties. However, current run rate falls short of management's aspiration of 25% growth over the next few years. Pickup in Zudio Beauty and the Star business can become the next big growth levers but these businesses need to stabilise before scaling up. Morgan Stanley maintained its underweight rating on Bank of Baroda with a target price of Rs 235. Analysts said that as expected in April-June quarter growth moderated. The lender's domestic loan growth moderated to 12.4% on an annual basis compared to 13.7% (below industry rate), while the domestic deposit growth moderated to 8.1% from 9.3% (also below industry rate).
