These included a demand for a complete no-parking policy along the coastal road, usage of designated bus bays only for pick-ups and drop-offs, restricted operating hours for the promenade to ensure safety, and limiting pedestrian access strictly through underpasses. They also stressed on the importance of actively monitoring the over 100 CCTV cameras installed along the stretch for better crowd and traffic management.
