Mangalore Smart City Limited Likely to Widen 7 Roads Going to Waterfront Project Area: Know More

Mangalore Smart City Limited (MSCL) has already begun work on the Waterfront development project. The MSCL has started work on promenade development as part of the waterfront project, which will be taken up at a cost of Rs 60 crore.

Promenade development is one of the key features of the waterfront project. It includes setting up a biodiversity park, creating a bird-watching area, building a pathway of 6m width for a stretch of 2.1km and laying a cycle track of 3m width from the bridge to the Bolar sea face. The other facilities to be created include setting up of an outdoor gymnasium, creating a bicycle stand, a buggy point, play area for children, pet park, a park with seats, landscaping, and several other public amenities.

The MSCL has identified seven existing roads that can be widened if additional land on both sides is acquired. Further, additional land is also required for car parking and other amenities. Hence, the MSCL has written to Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) for the acquisition of additional land by issuing transferable development rights (TDR) to the owners of land.
