On the flip side, however, he is of the opinion that it could lead to the shortening of the current roads.

His tweet read, "Some have asked to provide #cycling corridor so citizens could cycle to work. Pros-less cars on roads, cons-shortening of available roads. Plan Worli to Nariman Point and Dadar/Santacruz/Vileparle  to bkc initially. Let’s know what you think #mumbai".
