Road To BIAL

18 October 2007 - 5:39pm — s_yajaman
Flogging a dead and decomposing horse here. Went for a drive to Yelahanka yesterday on some work. For me the real issue is not the lack of an expressway to the Airport. The 6 laned NH-7 IMHO is adequate to take today's traffic and probably for another 3 years. It is the roads leading to the exit of the city in the north that need attention.

Roads over storm water drains - what happened?

Traffic

Remember this interesting call for expression of interest that appeared on BBMP website earlier this year (here):

"BBMP intends to create a road net work above the main storm water drain wherever feasible ... total length of primary and secondary drain net work is 250 km spread over the entire city."

Praja.in - whats ahead?

17 October 2007 - 4:08pm — admin

A "whats next" type discussion has been pending for sometime now, how about we start one. To kick it off, here are the two broad thoughts what got us started in the first place:

=> Need for a platform to enable citizens to be activists in their areas of concern and interest. Platform as in enable and equip, with information, pointers, complaint numbers, contacts of relevant people, success/failure stories and alike.
=> Try to utilize the power of Internet to build a big and strong community. We realize that if easy and online ways of activism are made available, there will be better participation because the reality of present times is - most of us are not willing to give these things serious personal effort and time.

Bangalore, demolitions, media etc

Demolitions have been making news every other week, looks like BBMP is going to keep their razors up even after the rains are gone.

Papers report today (online link unavailable) that BBMP is set to demolish parts of the club-house of Koramangala National Games village. It was reported earlier that the club-house was situated atop Raja Kaluve.

I found this news report - Portions of nine buildings demolished in Puttenahalli - interesting for the last paragraph it carries.

Seoul's Metro Netowrk

Seoul's Metro Network - Something BMRC or even BMTC should look into to structure its model. Please check the link http://www.smrt.co.kr/eng.... There are 8 lines and the route for travelling between point A to point B can be searched on the website based on shortest distance or minimum transfers.
