Bangalore Design ORR Road Works Agara Iblur Need Help Flyovers and underpasses

This is my first post on Praja. Does anybody have the plans / designs for the Flyovers that are being built and designs being planned to make the Outer Ring Road "Signal Free"? The current ring road is not very well designed and I am very curious to know what the news plans are and if there was a way to make it better. How does one get hold of such a plan? Will a RTI request to BDA work? If someone already has this information, please share it with me. If you have any advice on how to get this information, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Write to BDA, I just did

If 4-5 of us write to BDA asking for the design of the two flyovers, I am sure we will hear back. From what I have followed of the project, it seems to me that they have glossed over transparency norms to get this done fast. Going by that observation, very little chance they we will get to influence the designs in anyway at all.

But let us ask for it. I picked out some email addresses from BDA website (http://bdabangalore.org/contactus.htm) and just sent email to comissioner and engineer member requesting for the designs. Or else, RTI the last route. Also, there are some phone numbers on http://bdabangalore.org/engineeringdept.htm that you can call.

Here is what I wrote (to em [at] bdabangalore.org and com [at] bdabangalore.org), look fwd to others joining in.

Subject: Design of upcoming ORR Flyovers at Ibulur and Agara

Dear sir,

Congratulations on taking up the new flyover projects on Outer Ring Road. Some of us who are residents or frequent users of Ibulur and Agara Outer Ring Road are very curious to see the detailed designs and future traffic flow plans for these two new flyovers. It will be great if you can upload the designs on BDA website. Otherwise, if you can mail the documents to us, we will try to put them up on bangalore.praja.in.

regards,

xxxxx

I wrote an email too

Thanks. I sent BDA an email as you suggested. Let us wait a few days and see what happens. Please let me know if you get a response. In additon to the flyover works, I also asked about the planned Singnal Free ORR works along the ring road as well. If others are interested in this project, can you please help by writing in as well?

I sent an email out too...

I received this reply from the BDA commissioner Now hoping to see the details uploaded on the BDA website. I had also asked for information on the rest of the signal free Outer RIng Road project (apart from Agara and Iblur, but did not receive a response to that). Now the wait for the documents to be uploaded!
