Bangalore BDA KR Puram Benniganahalli Action Safe Passage Pedestrian Infrastructure Mobilicity

bus stand"Safe Passage" is about collecting 2.00 lacs signatures representing to emphasize need for safe pedestrian crossing at K.R.Puram Railway, Benniganahalli and ITI Colony gate. Why Signature Campaign?

As we know the gatherings once dispersed the existence of such emphasis also disappears in thin air. Signature Campaign will be in existence all the time for ever. The leaders representation will make the things happen. I am inviting leaders to take this on along with me and be a cause for this Safe Passage of innumerable lives who will reach home safely thanking every good soul who have stood for the cause.

The focus will be children reaching schools, Senior citizens move independently to cross the road and People reaching the work place with ease and peace.

I will work out more plan for action and in the process invite more from the community for us to take this forward.

CKannan, Is it possible to get some detailed information on this campaign? Information on proposed solution along with drawings/pictures would help understand the campaign better. Also info on how do you plan to obtain the signatures would be highly appreciated.

Get started, support should come

First step is the hardest. We can get started with a meeting to plan this campaign.

I was thinking of suggesting to go meet BBMP to have this location included in the skywalk list. I only see one skywalk in this area ("K.R. Pura Bus Stand in front of BBMP Office"), where exactly is this?

BBMP has to provide land for skywalks, not sure if they own land on both sides of ORR near the foot of the cable bridge near the station.

Collecting of Signatures

The detail plan of execution is in the final drafting stages. To briefly explain it works as follows. Along with me about a group of 20 individual called the community leaders will be formed and a meeting for the same will be held before 7th Oct 2008. These 20 or more community leaders will cause to create leaders in their community. Target Community who are benefited, Students going to schools and colleges, Office goers, Senior citizens and general public can have safe passage. I invite many community leaders to take on to this be posted and I will call for a meeting along with completed draft CKannan

There is a raised pedestrian crossing at Tin Factory/Benniganahalli junction.  But then this is just a fixing methodlogy followed.  There is not transformation of vows in that locations.  We could see hoards of pedestrains still crossing the road adventurously.  The traffic movement is still the same.  On any working day from 8:00am to 11:00am average time to from Benniganahalli bridge to crosss K.R.Puram Railway station, it takes min 30 Min.  We should arrange a meeting with all praja members and brain strom the same and offer our suggestion to trafic police and BDA including the railways.
