City & Industrial Development Corporation [CIDCO] — traffic congestion opposite turbhe railway station

Address:

Turbhe, Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400705

Dear sir/ madam
You may be aware that there is a heavy traffic congestion on the nearly 500m stretch on the thane - belapur road during morning and evening peak hours of almost 2 hours each every week day opposite turbhe railway station.
Besides the frustration that it causes to all the vehicle users, precious fuel is wasted, dents and scratches result due to close movement. It takes atleast 10 mins to cross the stretch.
This congestion is caused entirely because of commuters and people crossing the road to either take a train or move to the other side of the station/road and autoriskshaw, tempo and minibus drivers blocking sometimes in two lanes to pick up passengers and unload/load vehicles.
Whenever there is a traffic policeman the traffic tends to ease.
It is time that the muncipal corporation construct a fob over the road and ban vehicle parking on the road side. Every day this road is used by thousands of commuters.
It is understandable that the people that live and work in this area are potential vote bank to politicians who seem to be avoiding it as a touchy issue. There is no point in having wide roads when they are forced to be slow down at this bottleneck that turbhe station road is.
