The stretch of road where the Kurla BEST bus accident occurred has been narrowed down due to debris dumped and illegal parking on one side of the street. Work on building redevelopment along with widening of the road along the stretch has been going on after setbacks from the nearby buildings. There are a lot of debris and illegal vehicles, according to a local.

Another has stated that the road has been narrow, littered with hawkers, slums and illegal parking. Vehicles have become bigger while roads have become narrower. If it had been a wider road, there would have been space for pedestrians to get away from the approaching bus was another opinion.
