Citizens fear revised Metro alignment will spark snarls

Pune | Saturday | 14th July, 2018

Summary:

Pimpri Chinchwad: The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (MahaMetro) has changed the alignment of the project from the median of the BRTS corridor to the service lane. “Rickshaws stop haphazardly at the PCMC bus stop. “The Metro pillars will now be built on the service road along the BRTS lane from Kharalwadi to the Empire Estate flyover in Chinchwad. This meant citizens park their vehicles on the highway,” Bhojane said, explaining the need for such a facility. But this move has sparked concerns that traffic congestion will worsen on the service road..
