BIAL connectivity - ORR as tolled or access controlled road? 11/08/07 02:23 - silkboard
If you look at it, the delayed and much hyped BIAL expressway would anyway not solve the connectivity issue. The problem would be in getting to the point in ORR from where BEL Road/NH7 or this expressway would emerge. What you need is quick way for folks to get out from the center or east/south/western corners of the city.

11/06/07 08:19 - thampanI came across a project being done by an NGO called Parisara and BWSSB. They are doing something to revive the greenery for bangalore. I thought that I will share the same over here so that readers of praja can participate if interested. Excerpt from the site of Spoorthivana Vision :To preserve the eco system for future generations.Mission:To grow trees with active public participation and involvement. To create awareness among public and to create a live museum of memories so that the future generations would be inspired. Spoorthivana 35 Kms away from Bangalore city on way to Magadi, near the confluence of Arkavathi and Kumudvathi rivers; SPOORTHIVANA – a dream project for preserving all your cherished memories by planting saplings, has come up in 300 acres of sprawling terrains belonging to Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board (BWSSB) at TG Halli (Thippagondanahalli) reservoir catchment area. The Government of Karnataka has approved this greening venture with BWSSB and Parisara The idea is that you could sponsor a tree for Rs 500/- and it will be maintained by the spoorthivana team.person thampan's post | forum 4 Comments | Read More

Stackable cars for central district? 11/06/07 04:08 - silkboard
How about something like this for congested central areas of cities like Bangalore? This kind of fits in with Vikash's idea, its just another EV in his last mile transportation solution. Imagine getting down at a Bus/Metro hub in or near CBD. And then renting a car like this to go around. You can get to any congested corner, no matter how narrow the roads are. And these wont require parking lots for storage, stacking lots would be more like it.
