Narasimharaja Bouleward - get architects, town planners to provide best plan

20 June 2009 - 12:36pm — E.R. Ramachandran

The City rulers , over the years , have proved grossly inefficient, by not taking steps to complete the Ring Road which would have absorbed the increase in traffic , especially of trucks and lorries. Let us not do another mistake by hurriedly deciding to cho off all trees.This has never solved problem any where so far.

Revamp of the Bangalore civic body.

Everything else

 Recently we discussed about high dividers and roads being made “Double roads” in a forum. The truth is that, the roads are two way traffic roads by default, to start with. Normally two way roads are made one way to take care of increased traffic density. There is sometime a need to iterate to satisfy the public demands.

Plan for ORR and marathalli junction

10 May 2009 - 11:30am — Subodh

Hi,

Does anyone know plan on how ORR - Marathalli junction will be made signal free ? I could not find any post in Praja regarding this.

Recently I noticed that ramp from ORR (when you from KR Puram) to Marathalli bridge is being widened to 4 lanes road (two lanes on each direction).

Regards,
Subodh

Digging of roads and improper patch up

7 May 2009 - 9:29am — cajalal

The roads in Whitefield-ITPL area were in reasonably good condition after the last asphalting and periodic maintenance works. However the good conditioned roads were spoiled by the pits digged (and left without properly filling/repairing) for laying pipe conduits (for fiber cable ?) underground.

BBMP elections, Outer ring road and Flyovers Underpasses

Roads in Nagarbhavi layout

20 April 2009 - 6:29pm — Ramesh

Nagarbhavi layout is an old BDA layout. Except few blocks almost all blocks have large population. After forming the Nagarbhavi layout it seems this area is completly neglected by BDA and now by BBMP. Roads are in very bad shape. Recently only few main roads are tarred. It is very difficult to use vehicles on this roads.
