India gets on the bus

24 October 2008 - 12:14pm — murali772

After years of building roads and flyovers, the Delhi government has decided to change tack to address congestion on its roads: invest in new, sleek buses to restricted private vehicles. Other cities have followed suit.

24 October 2008 - 10:00am — silkboard

Learning from mistakes and gaps at other cities - Pune could be doing that. Read this morning, with great interest that Pune has created a special purpose vehicle called Pune Infrastructure Development Corporation (PIDC). Quoting this story (PIDC cleared), this body will be:

Dreaming Challaghatta Bagh - big new lung space for Bangalore

23 October 2008 - 10:00am — silkboard

Park Possible?You may remember reading this last year - Army to close Agara Farm. Each time I am on Inner Ring Road or Sarjapur Road around Agara, I wonder what use is Army putting this vast stretch of Land into. Thanks a million to them, we don't have another middle class slum developing and congesting this area. But if they don't have any serious use planned right now, would they be game to lease it out to us (the citizens) to help create a nice big park cum eco preservation area!? Challaghatta Bagh anyone!?

Speed governors - using technology to enforce speed limits

22 October 2008 - 5:31pm — silkboard

Here in Karnataka, government is pushing (its not actually govt, its the High Court) speed governors, but they are doing so only for commercial vehicles. If there is a reason or basis for why trucks and lorries are being targeted and not the private cars as well, I would like to know that.

Outer Ring Road project - work first, tender later?

21 October 2008 - 2:09am — silkboard

ORR tenderIt was a bit puzzling to spot this tender from BDA in newspapers last week. Dated Oct 15, it called for "Improvements to Service Road of Outer Ring Road from Marathalli underpass to Central Silk Board junction (missing bits)". At least on the tenderwizard site (click for all recent BDA tenders), there is no other older tender calling for improvements to these service roads. The puzzling part however is this. Service Road improvement work is already in full swing! In fact, I have been noticing digging work for over a month now.
