Whitefield LAMP

So far, all mobility planning in Metropolitan area of Bangalore happens with central city in mind. However, Bengaluru's future is mostly in the hands of its suburban areas and satellite towns. Planning for mobility for a suburban area has a few different angles to it. There are few clear categories of needs, Examples of these, in Whitefield/Mahadevapura context

• Link to central city, coming "to" the suburban area (ex: 335/331 routes)
• Link with central city, going "through" the suburban area (ex: Commuter Rail link we are dreaming of, even G1, which avoids central whitefield area)
• Intra-area mobility (ex: how those cars going to new shopping areas in whitefield make Saturday the most miserable day for mobility)
• Link to farther satellite towns for commuters who may work in suburban area, but live even farther in satellite towns (ex: Hoskote or Varthur side developments, wanting to link to Whitefield as the job-area)

Some of us have discussed a focused project to a) attempt a local area mobility plan (LAMP) for Whitefield/Mahadevapura, and b) make some of the recommendations happen as well. This is that project.

Note: The project was seeded during a meeting with RK Misra, Whitefield rotary club members and separate internal meetings within Praja RAAG. We will all collaborate to produce output, and more groups are welcome to join in.
