NMMC plans to catapult the city with next generation amenities
CBD-Belapur: After wide roads, green gardens and STP plants, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation is planning to construct a number of skywalks, which it says will usher the city into the 'newt generation.'
In the first phase, it has planned five such Skywalks which will be ultra modern, eco-friendly and will be among the 'jewels of the city.
The most important among them will be at Vashi village, which will look like a 'welcome arch' to those entering the city from Mumbai side.
The second one will be at Nerul connecting D Y Patil stadium and MIDC. Situated between London Pilsner and Tata Press, it is expected to save lakhs of pedestrians who come to watch the sports events there from the dangers of crossing a busy national highway.
A third skywalk will connect Koparkhairane railway station and DAKC across the Thane Belapur road. There has been a long standing demand for such a facility form the harried pedestrians. A fourth Skywalk will come up at Ghansoli and the fifth at Airoli, both across Thane Belapur Road. All the skywalks will be 90 meter long, 5 meters wide and 6.5 tp 6.9 meters high. They will have the capacity to bear the weight of 2,000 people at a time. The designers have taken care to ensure that there will be little vibration when it is in full use.
"The Skywalks will have a modular body of steel and the sides will be made of recycled translucent glass to provide a view of the landscape to the pedestrians using it. It will be manufactured to the size,
Brought to spot and assembled,” informed Standing Committee chairman Sandeep Naik, whose brain child it is. The proposal is expected to come up before the Standing Committee for approval during its next meeting.
The best part of the project is that the entire cost of construction, erection and maintenance will be borne by the sponsors. “Sponsors have already been found for two of the skywalks,” informed Naik “Lest the senior citizens and the handicapped rue about their height, each Skywalks will be equipped with two elevator lifts – of 12 persons capacity each – at each end.
There is no doubt that these Gen-next Amenities will take the city into the 12st century
