Bangalore CTTP

Ever since we have heard about CTTP for Bangalore, we have always wanted to get our hands on it. We have been anticipating its release and have been grabbing the tidbits that were floating around.

But now Ladies and Gentlemen, the wait is over. We, the ever resourceful admins of Praja have been able to get our hands on the full copy and for your convenience have it posted here.

You can start by reading an executive summary here. Once you click on the link, you will see a new menu on your right hand side that links to each of the chapters of the CTTP. It is structured like a book so you can also use the links below each page to navigate.

Now, wear your thinking caps and start analysing the plan.

breakdown towing

blrsri - 19 November, 2007 - 08:18

Situation: Nov 19th 2007 9 AM, Just after Benniganahalli Bridge, before the KR puram bridge 10 wheel truck stranded and the driver trying to start the vehicle while two people are below the truck trying to repair! Cops are looking helpless! Result: Traffic coming from Banaswadi side of the ORR totally jammed and all people delayed Solution: One tow truck to move the vehicle to the side! Charge the culprit vehicle owner for towing charges..this is how its elsewhere abroad! This is the case for all roads in Bangalore, we have two operational lanes and they are hoplelessly jammed by a break down truck at the peak hours..isnt this a simple thing to do?

have been going through it and will take a while. but from what i have seen so far, our discussions were in the ball park in most cases and right on the dot on others. i feel very happy about it and makes this all worthwhile. what the plan does is gives us a reference now.
TS - CTTP + Yr comment well noted. I still think there are a few issues - reverting after review.

Dubai Metro - Station Designs

Hi all ! Please see the designs for Dubai Metro stations at: http://flickr.com/photos/13879352@N07. I think they are really superb & Bangalore, being a much bigger IT /Tech centre must have something even better, though with scarcity of space along the Metro corridors, it may be difficult to do it on the same scale.

keeiping it functional..

first want to thank Naveen for all the good work thats been happening form his end.. coming to the metro..my mantra is keeping it functional..aesthetics can focus on the good part of bangalore..Gardens! I still remember all the circle islands that we had which used to get decked up for republic day and independence day..like the ones at lalbaugh, hudson circle etc. None of them exist now..all we see is vehicles and more vehicles all the time.. We need to work fast at getting those vehicles off the road and maybe re-instate the circle islands!
