The Central Avenue is the main road connecting the Chembur station with a public garden. This connectivity becomes the hotspot for buildings and commercial along the peripheral roads consisiting of restaurants, food shops, etc. The existing road has high footfall as it connects two major spots of the Chembur precinct, this also gives rise to major traffic congestion in the area on daily basis. To decioher this alarming concern, a design for skywalk has been proposed within the railway station precinct. The skywalk is imagined to not only solve the traffic congestion of roads but to also activate the pedestrian friendly movement in the precinct. The potential of the Central Avenue skywalk is also to develop green landscaping pockets, integrates the concept of biophilic design, proposes semi-covered seating, hawking zones, graphical apporach and also is tactically paved for universal accessibility.
