7 Horrors of Bangalore

Bangalore Citizen Reports public spaces amenities Others Everything else
Bangalore Mirror has invited citizens to select the "7 Wonders of Bangalore". Simultaneously, if one was to nominate "7 Horrors of Bangalore" (or more), my list will include the following (not necessarily in the order of listing):
1) the Cauvery junction U-turn over-pass; 2) the Sophia school junction sky-walk; 3) National College fly-over; 4) Richmond town fly-over (which has now been salvaged to some extent); 5) Bellandur tank; 6) Garuda Mall.
Well, there are a lot more. May be PRAJA should attempt a listing based on nominations from members.
On the opther hand, the only good public space the city has acquired recently, that I can think of readily, is the Freedom Park.

(The net gulped my first attempt - sorry if this gets duplicated.)
As a non-native I would love to see some pictures from these locations (more than the two now there). Can you please click & upload (or provide links)?
I know how it's like. Been a couple of times and survived - so far. I do like the city.

Things are improving to some segments but other side, its going worse.
Regarding parks, last few years its improved for Bangalore, Traffic is going down day by day.
JP Park at Mathiekri is 3rd Largest park after Lalbagh & Cubbaon Park, its lush green place to spend time.

BMTC has spent a lot of money from JNNURM in TTMC, some are good, some very useless and many are unnecessary and most of them not falling as per the sanctioned plan.

May be we should try an online survey now with all the items in comments above. That should throw out a clear top-7.
