Sisodia said in a statement that the minister has reviewed the work of streetscaping personally with the consultants and gave suggestions for improvement. “Their ideas to change the face of Delhi's roads and make them world-class are amazing," Sisodia further said, while adding “With the completion of this project European style roads in Delhi will be a reality soon. This effort of the Kejriwal Government will also decongest city roads and enhance mobility along with making them beautiful." He also mentioned that these roads will ensure a safe and beautiful commuting experience, while there will be certain facilities for pedestrians as well.

Sisodia also tweeted about the development later in the evening. "It is @ArvindKejriwal's dream to see Delhi's roads become beautiful like European & US roads. We are working round the clock with the best brains in the field to fulfil this dream...Discussed some great ideas & addressed challenges for the Mathura Road pilot project - along which, our city roads will be decongested & beautified as per global standards," he wrote in the tweet.
