The maps and plan related to the three land parcels are on display at the BMC headquarters near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, said an official from the DP department. Citizens can send their feedback via post to the BMC headquarters.

The three land parcels — 39.3 hectares in the Oshiwara District Centre, 47.37 hectares of A block in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and 27.37 hectares between LBS Marg and Mithi river in Kurla — were handed over to the BMC by the MMRDA in 2016. By this time, the DP-2034 had already been finalised, resulting in a separate document. The BKC land includes Bandra reclamation, Lilavati Hospital, ONGC Colony and a recreation ground. The plan includes development of a ramp connecting Bandra-Worli Sea link to Lilavati Hospital, which is likely to bring relief to commuters by reducing congestion during peak-hour traffic. It also reserves land between SV Road and Linking Road in Bandra for commercial and industrial zones.
