Embassy Golf Links on Intermediate Ring Road, Koramangala is one of first IT parks in Bangalore and houses large facilities of several MNCs such as IBM, Microsoft, Netapp, Yahoo and Goldman Sachs. This campus houses thousands of employees. One huge problem that the employees face is to cross the street right outside their facility.
The intermediate ring road is a 6 lane street with almost non-stop traffic. Owing to the quality of the road and the fact that there are no cross-roads/intersections, the average speed of the traffic is rather high making it almost impossible to cross the road without risking one's life. Sadly, none of the authorities seem to have considered pedestrian safety while constructing this facility.
Mid-day carried a report on the problems faced by pedestrians here (http://www.mid-day.com/ne...). It's been over a year since that article came out and apparently nothing has changed. Which of the civic agencies should be contacted to have this addressed? Any pointers on what's the best way to persuade them to erect pedestrian bridges? I've heard (but not confirmed) that the problem is compounded because one of the sides of the road is owned and maintained by the military.

Provide some more details !
Deepakar,
It would help if you could provide some more information on this junction like google map, vicinity details and some photographs to understand this.
Do not hesitate to suggest the possible solutions you would think could bring relief for Pedestarians.

write to traffic police (dcp east), should help
The best way to move here is
I am not sure about BDA (because they don't usually reply to emails), but traffic police is very helpful, they will definitely respond. I wrote just now to dcp email pointing him to this post of yours. I suggest you as well to write in ASAP. email is dcptrafficeast [at] gmail.com
Also, find some phone numbers here - http://www.bangaloretraff...
I suggest you call Asst Comm of Traffic Police Adugodi division (22942115) and see if he can help. Do keep us posted, because we all want to know how responsive (or unresponsive or unhelpful) they are.
One doesn't have to be a celebrity to write to them for help. And don't assume that they are all unhelpful, many are not, esp if the request is reasonable.
Heard back from DCP east
