Skywalk near EGL campus on Inner Ring Road Domlur Junction
Written By dvsquare - 22 June, 2011
Bangalore suggestion Skywalks Transportation Infrastructure Pedestrian Infrastructure pedestrian Domlur EGL
As we have talked a lot about public transport as well as pedestrian friendly infrastructure, many of Prajagalu's must be aware of the fact that thousands of people cross the road in front of EGL campus/DELL office on Inner Ring Road, Domlur. Still there is no safe way and no right of way for the pedestrians. We advocate for use of public transport but think of people coming by buses and putting their life in danger and extreme risk while crossing the road in front of EGL campus. Vehicles coming at good speeds (with no fault of theirs) can also be victims of the same. I have discussed the same with Mr. Sood about possiblity of the skywalk or footover bridge on this place, and he told that BTP has advised/referred to BBMP long back about the need of foot-over bridge over here but after that nothing has happened so far and everyday a lot of people are just crossing the roads believing their fate.
Mr. Sood has sent a letter to me, which I attached here as well, it has some details about the foot-over bridge permission, reference etc.
Since, its written in kannada and I don't know how to read, I need some help here. I tried to get help from a few friends, but since its too formal and pure kannada that even they couldn't help me much.
(1) Please help me with the content
(2) How can I approach BBMP (or the concerned authority) to get this work done?
(3) Do I need to file RTI to find out why its getting delayed (I can ask question about the status, start and completetion date etc)
Or, any other suggestion to make this foot-over bridge reality soon, please come-up with the practical suggestion.

So,
It means, I need to follow up with the Ad Agency or with the govt authority, whom this Ad agency has to submit the plan and get it approved? I can ask govt agency as why they are not making Ad agency to do it fast, what are they waiting for ?
The govt agency whom they report to, will be BTP right? Ulsoor PD right?

Ulsoor PD has been asked by BTP to coordinate the installation but the transactions of plan submission & approval and commercials will be between Vantage & BBMP. So you can start with speaking to somebody in Ulsoor PD with a copy of this letter.

BBMP has accorded permision to build it on BOT model for 5 years initialy extendable to 25 on gok permission & passed the ball back to BTP. BTP is expected to submit a plan/map and proceed with building it. Sood has instructed Ulsoor PD to get it done fast ( this is in english). Congrats, you may get the overpass. Check with Ulsoor PD, and make EGL throw you a party. Praja will take treat from you later. Looks like this request has been pending from 2004.
So, ball is in Ulsoor PD right now?

Ya, I read that part where Mr. Sood is asking to Ulsoor PD to get it done.
Also there is a mention of "Vantage Advertizing", what is that for? Do they also supposed to do something? Are they also involved in delay?
Shall I write directly to Ulsoor PD?
