Mathikere Flyover


Any updates on the Mathikere fly-over. Its more than a couple of years since construction started. When can we fly over it?

Excellent initiative

The drive by BBMP to ensure parking for visitors vehicles in commercial and residential buildings by implementing the rules is laudable and timely.

Municipal workers to fine traffic violators?

EnvironmentTraffic

Refer the news in papers today - "BBMP has warned residential and commercial complexes that don't allow visitor parking inside their premises. As per the byelaw, they must reserve 10% of the parking space for visitors".

Now, see this development along with an interesting news reported this week (source biz-standard): "MP Govt has created Urban Transport Authority which will make local bodies and traffic police work together ... fine collected ... will be used to raise funds for better traffic management, more parking space ... so far, the police used to deposit fines in state treasury".

BDA Junction - now open!

Traffic

Posting this on behalf of Photoyogi, he is at BDA junction right now, watching temporary traffic chaos live as the magic box there has just now been opened to public. First reports indicate that due to lack of clear communication on new traffic routing plan (see this recent post that has the new plan), folks are struggling to find their way around. Please tell your journalist friends to carry the new route map sketched here earlier in tomorrow's papers so that the chaos can ease.

I was about to be killed in an accident

Traffic

Today morning, I came from Mysore in a bus and got down in front of the Mysore road satellite bus stop. I had parked my bike in the satellite bus stand. I had to cross the road to go to satellite bus stand. It was real horrible experience with no considerations to pedestrains and road crossings. There is no single zebra crossing to cross the Mysore road and there is no sky walk either. We have to cross the road in the middle of the traffic. Vehicles will be piled up very long and mostly buses and trucks.

How to reach BIAL

This is a link to the 'Easy Guide' that shows various options available for passengers to reach BIAL. This was part of the press release BIAL sent Praja.

The BDA Junction is all set to be open to the public on Wednesday 21st May 2008. Here are some photo updates at the junction.







What do we do with the Richmond road flyover!

Surprisingly there are very few flyovers in blr which do not have a huge jam under them
every day! The best example is that of the in-famous cable stayed bridge in KR puram and
arguably the next worst is the Richmond road flyover.

This hardly caters to anyone and there are jams below the flyover both at end of double road
and richmond circle.

why is this? cos of one ways on residency road and richmod road..

Dedicated bus lanes - a presentation for BBMP

TrafficPublic Transport

I made a presentation yesterday to Mr.Subramanya (BBMP Commisioner) at his office about the single bus lane idea. He was quite interested and said he would discuss with his committee and revert. He also agreed very well that the solution was not to build or widen more roads or flyovers. He also mentioned some problems that are being faced with the underpasses construction on Bellary road - the actual costs were much higher than anticipated because numerous problems had cropped up - conduits for sewerage, water, telephone, electricity, etc that were marked incorrectly on admittedly very old drawings that now need to be re-aligned !

[Here is the presentation, prepared with a lot of help from folks and material here on Praja]
