Pedestrian Infrastructure

Pedestrian skywalk at KR Puram Ring Road chaos, finally

InfrastructurePedestrian Infrastructure

I am not a fan of skywalks (prefer regular ped-signals, or underpass), but the chaos that this place is - Outer Ring Road/Old Madras Road junction near Tin Factory, K R Puram - a pedestrian skywalk to cross 8 lanes of thick traffic should help. After our last round of complaints etc, the pedestrian signals had been operating for some time, they still are - either the light turns red, or cops stop traffic to let pedestrians cross. The skywalk (such a late arrival) is perhaps part of signal-free ORR project.

How to cross Hosur Road below Elevated Expressway

InfrastructurePedestrian Infrastructure

There is no easy way for people on the ground to cross express way (Hosur Road) by bus and cycle. One needs to walk or traverse a long distance to cross the elevated expressway as there is no footpath. For example if you got to building say across pier 26, u need to cycle or walk to pier 51 and come all the way back.

What can we do about this? are the roads not for common people?

 BBMP yet again announces more skywalks.  This seems to be in addition to the 50 or 60 that have not seen the light of day.

Maybe this has been discussed earlier.

I am appalled by the state of Bangalore roads of late. Day by day there are more road humps added to the streets without any thought on the inconvenience it causes to the riders/drivers.

Quality footpaths from BBMP - good going at Whitefield

InfrastructurePedestrian Infrastructure

When you see good work, you must appreciate and encourage BBMP. Its not covering all corners of Whitefield, just the main roads. But as they say, level of development of a city is determined by its footpaths and pavements, not the roads. And this is a good beginning.

It started in October I think when material started showing up around the roads
