Bus Terminals to come up on Mill Land in MumbaiSandeep Ashar / DNAThursday, August 6, 2009 2:43 ISTMumbai: Special terminals at Senapati Bapat Marg in Lower Parel will, in all likelihood, replace Dadar as the hub of all outstation road travel in the next few years. Driving the change will be mill lands.If all goes as planned, state and private transport buses, which currently operate from the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road outside the Dadar truck terminus, will be shifted to specially designed terminals to be built on mill lands. So

would be Pune and Goa bound private taxis, and the Mumbai-Shirdi bound buses currently plying from Senapati Bapat Marg.The BMC has received proposals from owners of almost all mills being redeveloped in the area, offering to create public parking lots in return of additional FSI. Development control regulations were recently modified to let private parties develop public parking lots. Space to accommodate a minimum of 50 vehicles will earn up to 50% of the built-up parking area as incentive FSI.Based on the proposals, a parking space to accommodate more than 6,000 vehicles could be arranged for at Senapati Bapat Marg, said a senior civic official from the road department. The possibility has made a special five-member committee instruct mill owners to dedicate this space for creating bus and taxi terminals. A truck terminus is also being planned at one of the

mills.Source - http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_bus-terminals-to-come-up-on-mill-land_1280067"Real Strength is not just a condition of one's Muscle, but a Tenderness in one's Spirit."............McCallister DoddshOcus-pOcus : rOhit beHaL
