With aim of increasing awareness of traffic rules in citizen, especially young children, Kalyan -Dombivli Municipal Corporation is planning to built a Traffic Garden. This would be the first of its kind in Thane district. For this a plot on Nerurkar road near Matrumandir has been allocated. The traffic garden would be of 1,400 sq. meter in area and would cost around 25 lakh at current prices. The garden would have boards with traffic rules and signal system. Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation has made similar garden in Ghatkopar.
Dombivli lacks connectivity to Thane and parts of Mumbai. This has been due to detour of the highway due to the creek. It takes much less time to walk from the point where highway crosses Diva-Vasai line than to drive down to Bhiwandi-Kalyan and then Dombivli! Last I had tried this was some 2 years back and took me about 30 mins. One just have to walk about a kilometer from the highway to the creek using the road through the village, then climb on the 7-bridges, cross the creek, reach reti bunder and take a rickshaw back home!!
