MUMBAI, May 23 -- Two of the city's poshest neighbourhoods are battling it out over exits to the Mumbai Coastal Road. For at least a year, Breach Candy residents have been demanding an additional exit at nearby Nepean Sea Road, to share the traffic spillage into their locality. Now, the Nepean Sea Road camp is no longer speaking in one voice. On May 4, residents of 120 housing societies from the wider Breach Candy, Kemps Corner, Nepean Sea Road and Malabar Hill areas participated in a signature campaign, urging CM Devendra Fadnavis to approve the additional exit. Leading the initiative is the Breach Candy Residents' Forum, which in March launched the 'Unlock The Exit' campaign, named after the additional exit that already exists in the city's Development Plan. The forum is now leaning on BMC to "unlock" it. The social media initiative aims to ease mounting traffic congestion near the Amarsons interchange in their neighbourhood. The BCRF has repeatedly pointed out that the additional exit can be built on a plot owned by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) next to Priyadarshini Park on Nepean Sea Road. Senior civic officials say the BMC has written to MSRDC seeking transfer of the land but has not received a response. Addressing the very real challenge of traffic congestion in these exclusive enclaves in South Mumbai involves more than convincing MSRDC to hand over a parcel of land. Breach Candy, Malabar Hill and Kemps Corner, quiet, leafy neighbourhoods, are home to some of Mumbai's movers and shakers. Resolving an issue of this scale will require some tricky moves from the political establishment. Ever since BCRF started demanding the exit, Nepean Sea Road residents feared it would push congestion deep into their quiet residential lanes such as Altamount Road. Rahul Kadri, chairperson of the Nepean Sea Road Citizens Forum (NCRCF) questions both the necessity and estimated Rs.200 crore cost of the project, arguing that congestion in Breach Candy lasts for "barely two hours" and "delays commuters by only around 15 minutes"....
