Bangalore BDA KR Puram Benniganahalli Action Safe Passage Pedestrian Infrastructure

[Promoted meeting plans to separate post {blr_editor}]

Srinath Heragu and myself whole heartedly support Benniganahalli junction pedestrian crossing initiative, taken up by CKannan.

Srinath is having a similar issue in HAL Airport Road area. On my part I am interested in concentrating on a particular Bangalore Corridor, cutting across whole of Bangalore, to be decided in consultation with ACP Mr. Praveen Sood as suggested by him in the meeting held on September 20, 2008.
We two would like to Invite Mr. CKannan to meet up with us, as early as possible. I have written to CKannan by email to know whether October 2 would be convenient to him. Tentatively the proposal is to have the meeting at my place.
  • Date October 2, 2008
  • Time 10:00 Hrs
  • Place "Asha Kiran", 1669, 9th main, HAL III stage, Bangalore 560075. 
  • Contact No- 080-4126-9814; 98440-01591.
  • Land mark-1 Indiranagar BSNL Telephone exchange on 80 ft road,
  • Land Mark-2 Friends Bakery, on 80 ft road, 9th main Junction corner.
If not convenient CK may kindly indicate his choice. We will be glad to meet at his convenience. Any other Praja Members are also welcome to join. Kindly Indicate.

The agenda is to plan more on 'Safe pedestrian' project with sharp focus on Benniganahalli area, as suggested by admin. The same could be carried forward to similar projects later on. Once the meeting date time and venue are fixed we will create the event as suggested, so that many could join.

The staggered crossing concept is good to take forward. To solve similar crossing problems we should consider the three options in the correct order, on "cost to benefit" basis.

1.       Staggered Crossing with Island
2.       Magic box Under pass
3.       Sky Walk
 
Allowing advertising space for maintenance revenue should be OK.
