The BMC had proposed its 'tactical urbanism' initiative for schools in the recent BMC Budget 2022-23. It was decided to implement the initiative across the city after a successful pilot in Byculla.
As per BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal, the objective of the initiative is to give a safe environment for children and teachers to access the school in a clutter-free footpath with restricted vehicular movement in these zones.
"In this current financial year, the project will be scaled up and efforts will be made to make a perimeter of 500 metres safe for students and the school community to walk and access the school in a safe way. A provision of Rs 50 crore has been kept for the year for this purpose," he said.
