It is also called Saat Rasta (Road) because originally 7 roads intersected at the circle. However, presently there are 8 roads intersecting at Jacob Circle. Concept The Saat Rasta Project is a proposed Public Space Project along the Bapurao Jagtap Road, connecting Jacob Circle to the Mahalaxmi Railway Station. 2 underpasses are proposed towards Jacob Circle (saat rasta) to alleviate traffic coming from Dr. E Moses Road. The normally congested Bapurao Jagtap Road becomes a pedestrian-only space. Thus, the current 8 rasta would become 7 rasta again. Impact If the project becomes a reality, it will create a 1.7 Acres public space. It will decongest the traffic coming from Dr. E Moses Road and allow for smoother traffic flow. The proposal estimates that the path would benefit more than 500,000 passengers during rush hour that travel to and from Mahalaxmi station daily. It will also connect the proposed Jacob Circle Monorail station to the Mahalaxmi Railway Station. Around Mahalaxmi Station is a railway station on the Western Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railways. Jacob Circle Monorail Station is the proposed southernmost station of the Phase 2 of Line 01 of the Mumbai Monorail Project. Mahalaxmi Racecourse is a 225 acre open land in the heart of the city. Dhobi Ghat, which is a popular tourist destination, is located adjacent to Mahalaxmi station, under the Bapurao Jagtap Road. Mahalaxmi Temple and Haji Ali Dargah are major landmarks in this area.
