How hard is it to make a post like this? Examples abound. Here is another one from Marathahalli. A new tall building popped up earlier this year, and a Shanthi Sagar showed up, I am guessing as a tenant.
Of course, the parking has been planned for. Its in the basement. Spot the basement there, just to the left of stairs?
But obviously, the basement isn't in use for parking right now. Result? Some park on an small empty plot nearby, some on the recently widened road (only 5 minutes saar), but those with respect for vehicular traffic park on the pavement thus forcing pedestrians down on the road.

And what are the chances that the basement will be used in future for parking? Well, I would say zero, because staircase entries are typically not designed for parking spaces.
[Disclaimer: I am no expert to call any of this illegal. It just looks that way to me. It could be that this building all prescribed byelaws]

BBMP one doesn't work for sure
BBMP had promised to implement a "proper" online complaints system, and the website even had a "coming soon" notice for it. But that notice eventually gave way to the email addresses that they have now.
I have 'heard' not all emails get a response. In absence of a proper complaints system, and for fear of meddling with real estate lords, I wonder what can ordinary citizens like us do about these so very common "illegal looking" building with no respect for byelaws.
This is "the" thing folks, in my mind, this is the single biggest contributor for Bangalore's traffic congestion problems today.
parking: palike getting serious?
I completely agree
I completely agree with the above points. Unfortunately our Traffic police and BBMP are more interested in stopping two wheeleres in the name of checking papers and not only wasting their precious time but also taking money for some frivolous issue.
They have no time to ensure that the traffic is well managed and such dodgy constructions are looked at.
Is there any way we in Praja could make this a big issue and demand some sanity and better management.
