The Praja tradition should be - no single consolidated minutes of the meeting. All those who attend must log their individual reports about Praja meetings.

KR Puram Railway Station Jn Update

25 July 2008 - 10:36am — Rithesh

Finally BDA and Traffic Police seem to have woken up to the traffic problem at KR Puram junction (opposite railway station). BDA is proposing to widen the roads leading to the junction (on either side of the cable bridge).

The main hurdle to the project is the narrow junction opposite the railway station. Though there is ample space to widen the road, the land is owned by the Railways and they are refusing to give up the land.

Belgaum ring road: Still a Dream

25 July 2008 - 9:14am — belgaumblog

Belgaum ring road planned in two phases.

Hindalga-Peeranwadi-Halga
Hindalga-Kakti-Halga

Total ring road length 38 kms. Ring road breadth 100 feet. 285 acres of land needed. Rs.1425 lakh for land acquisition. Ring road total expenditure Rs.30 crores. The plan for the ring road was prepared 10 years ago. Imagine, since ten years nothing has happened on ground; only papers have changed places and this road, which will be a boon to traffic, will remain a dream.

POWER & SPEED create big holes in pockets

In the past few days, ‘Singh has become the King’, the share market is now again ready to take a leap upwards and Crude oil prices are heading only southwards. All these things are very nice for the common man. Today crude is trading at about 124.24$ which is of its high of almost 150$.

This morning on Mysore Road

21 July 2008 - 10:05am — Ravi_D

I’m new to Praja and this is my first post. My apologies if I managed to mess things up posting this. Ha, and thanks to folks who were so cordial at the TWG meeting on Saturday!

Travelling this morning on Mysore Road, got caught in a big mess. Unusual that early in the morning. Cause: Vrushabhavati Drain at the ORR junction obviously overflowed after rains last night. Intersection was full of a grand mixture of mud, litter and water. Crews were trying to clean up in the middle of the traffic. And that too with their hands! Not a single clean-up machine at work.

Below given is a news item that appeared in DH. After reading this, it occurred to me that there could be lessons from this story and could help us formulate some mitigating scenarios for easing B'lore traffic.

The story goes like this....................

Creative agency to improve driver behaviour

20 July 2008 - 5:53pm — silkboard

Spotted this interesting thing today. KRDCL is looking to hire a Creative Agency as consultant for spreading road safety awareness and improving road user behaviour in Bangalore. How much money is budgeted for this is not clear. Since KRDCL is putting this out, and not Traffic Police or BBMP, I am guessing this is part of the BTRAC-2010 (KRDCL is the nodal agency for it).

Here is the goal as listed in the document (click here to read) from KRDCL:
