Mumbai BMC Scraps Pay-and-Park Plan at Sion Cycling Track

Mumbai BMC Scraps Pay-and-Park Plan at Sion Cycling Track

The city of Mumbai won't be turning part of an old bike path into a parking lot.

The city officials had planned to do this, but they found out it wasn't safe.

There's a water pipe under the path, and a court order says nothing can be built on top of it.

The bike path itself is not being used anymore and is falling apart.

The city also canceled a plan to fix up the path because they don't have enough money.

The officials had hoped businesses might help pay to fix the path, but no one offered to help.
