Skywalk at Bhandup Station

The authorities are building a skywalk on the station road in Bhandup. 

Traffic on station road is restricted to private vehicles only. Autos and buses are not permitted to ply on station road. It is hoped that once the skywalk is completed, congestion on the road will be reduced.

Wonder how many people will use the skywalk? Personally, it would have been better if a flyover was built and the vehicular traffic was diverted to the flyover. Most people use station road as a market and would continue to use it even after the skywalk is built.

If the hawkers are shifted to the skywalk, pedestrians my also use it. However, the shop keepers on the road  will start complaning as they will loose business! Besides, people using the road will always have to be alert for missible falling on their head from the skywalk! Given the number of flyovers which have fallen in our country, there is also a possibility that the entire skywalk may fall on you head if you are not very careful.

Anyway money is being spent on the skywalk and a lot of people will line their pockets with our taxes.
