Parallel road to Nanda Road an option?

Vasanth - 5 May, 2008 - 14:56

If the metro would have passed on any other parallel road such as directly near the Jayanagar 4th block complex where lot of people come for shopping, pass upto ring road and then take right, it would have been nice and we could have saved Nanda road. There was a recent campaign on wikipedia called savenandaroad.

if you say so..

but will miss the most thick tree cover that I have seen anywhere in Bangalore apart from the parks..mysore road had it from Gali Anjaneya temple-sirsi circle-police grounds..most trees cut for flyover..the rest will soon be brought down too..

very unfortunate that they cannot transplant these :P

One more compelling reason to weigh LRT on some routes..which is less intrusive! 

R V Road

I noticed that they have started digging up the beautiful R.V. Road (Nanda Theater Road) just south of the south end circle. So this beautiful road could stay messed up till 2011!? Oh no!

The earth work is going on in the center of the road, both sides of the median, and right now confined to 5-6 pillaro location. they have dug up interesting looking arcs right now. Perhaps they will slowly complete the full circle and make the regular round holes to hold the Metro pillars.

No idea of the exact route that will extend this part of Metro till about Banashankari bus stand. Can't see any digging work near Rajalakshmi Kalyan Mantapa side of this beautiful road.

Here is the road in question, looks so nicely distinct from above!

Probably, this area could

Probably, this area could take that much time to complete, otherwise, the construction could have started a little later than being scheduled now. If this is not the ideology, then its absurd planning. It would be chaos to leave this beautiful place dug up for such a long period.
