Plans for Bellandur flyover?

11/09/09 08:49 - rajeevraj

This is my first post here. I live and work near the ORR in the Belandur Area. Have ben witnessing the chaos at the Belandur Jn on a daily basis(Although the traffic police do quite a good job to handle this intersection). I had read a lot on the plans for underpasses/flyovers a Belandur, Deevarabeesanahalli as part of the ORR signal free project.

Footpath misuse

11/09/09 04:45 - Bheema.Upadhyaya

 I found this person parking in neatly built pavement in Koramangala 4th Block.

I feel bad  when a (rich) citizen does not follow discipline. See the attachment. This is just one sample. We see lots of such parking. Why to blame government?

Public works - workings and problems

11/08/09 04:02 - silkboard

This is to understand and the criticize the way this whole public tendering and works process works. Not as sexy a topic as Roads, Flyovers or Airports, but this is where it all happens - execution matters most. Most corruption also happens here as this is the place where money changes hands. Citizen involvement (lack of it) plays here - as work must be checked for quality.

ORR bottleneck - Bhadrappa Layout

11/07/09 20:38 - idontspam

It is a good move by BDA to make the ORR Bhadrappa layout junction signal free. This junction assumes significance due to the fact that most of Sanjaynagar and RMV layout and gazillion other layouts in between use the Dr Rajagopal road/Gundappa road to reach ORR go towards the airport.

 We had a nice meeting with Nathan and Kiran of Biome Environmental solutions where a lot of discussions took place about the concept note on Indiranagar Metro project in the context of forthcoming Mobil city Un-conference at IISc. The Metro passes through CMH and 100 ft roads in Indiranagar. We in Indiranagar are quite familiar with the Metro by now.

Bangalore is one of the 59 cities to which Ministry of Urban Development or MoUD has sanctioned grants for public transport buses.

This grant is linked to conditional reforms in the transport sector in cities that includes higher taxes on private cars, dedicated funds for public transport, parking policy as a car restrain measure and bus sector reforms.

Benefits of metro rail

11/05/09 18:46 - vinod_shankar

Every now and then i see one or the other organisation opposing the metro.  No doubt they entitled to their views, but do they ever see the benefits any metro brings to cities,(especillay the crowded ones like bangalore, mumbai etc)  Let me quote a few points from PIB regarding the delhi metro, i am sure such benefits will accrue to bangalore also once the metro is complete
