Docs related to controlling traffic growth

have attached some docs related to parking (HU's comments to DULT on their parking policy) and the HU mobility manifesto (in kannada and english), though these docs might be useful for people working on this project.

 

not sure if this was the best way to attach these docs, so in case its not ok, dont feel upset :-)

My wife needed a 2 wheeler license, and went to Jnanabharati / Kengeri RTO yesterday. They don't conduct tests on their Mysore Road location anymore, and are requiring that the test be taken at the new 'electronic / scientific' test track at Mallathahalli.
