• The site is surrounded by roads on two sides with the Eastern Express

Highway on the northern side and a service road on the eastern side. It is situated at one of the corners of Teen Hath Naka which is one of the busiest signals connecting Thane city with Mumbai.

• The site is well connected to major public transportation modes- intercity and interstate bus services and an auto-rickshaw stand which has direct connectivity to the railway station which is a mere 1.6Kms away.

• The Check Naka to enter Mumbai Metropolitan Region is proximally located within 650m from the site. This attracts larger vehicular and pedestrian traffic near the site.

• This defunct site is primarily used by students of Satish Pradhan

Dnyansadhna College as the college lacks an open space and a congregational space. The perimeter and isolated areas of the site are crowded by these students. However, the dullness of the site gets highlighted after the students have left.
