The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has scrapped its proposal to convert a portion of the cycling track near Priyadarshani Garden in Sion, Mumbai, into a parking lot. This decision follows a detailed inspection that revealed a large water pipeline running underneath the track, making it unsuitable for parking. The track was originally built for cyclists but has remained largely unused. The civic body's reversal comes amidst a push for green spaces and sustainable transport in Mumbai, ensuring the area's original purpose is preserved, even as the search for suitable parking solutions continues across the city.

Officials have also discovered a large water pipeline running directly underneath the cycling track. This pipeline's presence makes the area unsuitable for the weight and activity associated with vehicle parking. The track was originally built for cyclists but has seen limited use since its construction.
The BMC's decision highlights the challenges of urban planning and space utilization in a dense city like Mumbai, where finding suitable locations for parking is an ongoing issue. The reversal of the plan ensures that the area's original purpose as a cycling track is preserved, aligning with the city's broader efforts to promote green spaces and sustainable transport options.
